My point is that being human is very, very complex because we may be the most complex creature in the universe. As such, love thy neighbour . . . is the tiny tip of a massive iceberg of cultural, moral, legal, political, ethical, social, international, fiscal change into which this love must flow in very intricate and complex ways so that we produce a planet that is beginning to reflect the attributes deemed and promised to reflect heaven on earth. Christian scripture has no specific solutions within its writings to solve todays problems, apart from the foundational message. That is not to say that Christ did not have the capacity to provide solutions 2000 years hence, the point was that Christ was ministering to the issues of His age. This age requires a new set of instructions.

""Christian scripture has no specific solutions within its writings to solve todays problems"" Can you name a man-made problem today that you believe could not have been stopped before it started simply by obeying the LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF command ?
