The O.T. is About You: Solomon/Ieroboam

Thank you Eminence

It is indeed so easy to accuse "them" of being the reprobate sinners, and to forget that we all sin almost as often as we breathe.

Vladyka, today I reflected on your broadcast about Solomon, Jeroboam and Rehoboam. This led me to think about yesterday's Gospel reading for the 8th Sunday of Luke (new calendar): the "Good" Samaritan narrative. Given the themes of identifying the neighbor and extending hospitality to guests in chap. 10, why does Christ refer to Lev. 18:5 when first answering the scribe: "Do this and you will live?" Does loving one's neighbor pertain to purity of keeping the Lord's statutes (context of Lev 18)?

This is such an interesting and relevant series.
