A New Commandment Or Not?


It seems I've always thought that Jesus gave a new commandment of Love they neighbor as thyself. But the new commandment Jesus gave was more like, love each other as I have loved you. So that is very different from what is written in Leviticus:


Leviticus 19:18 KJV
Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

And I was thinking Jesus was giving a new commandment for us to love one another as He has loved us.

Well, it does look like this was Jesus telling the disciples that were with him that he has a new thing to tell them.  And he does:

Jesus said these words to the disciples:
John 13:34 KJV
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.


So this is something somewhat new because it is Jesus telling His disciples to love one another as Jesus loved them.  These real people that lived were taught in person by Jesus Christ before He was crucified. And Jesus tells them to love each other as he loved them.  So that is difficult if you aren't a born again believer which they were not.  And that is difficult if you were not with Jesus daily as they were.  So we are in a relationship with Jesus and are taught of the Holy Spirit. And we can try to love others as Jesus loves us, but that is a very hard thing to measure or be legalistic about.

This is different from what Leviticus 19:18 KJV.

Both have a different Jesus in a way.  Why I say this is because the Hyper Grace people have a Jesus they call Grace.  And the Hyper Charismatics have a Jesus that gets them drunk in the spirit and toking the ghost.  Very demonic manifestations happening to many of these people with twitches and ticks.  If it is of God then I'm just not discerning this right, but I see this as a dangerous thing to play around with. 5. The teach things that focus on self not on Jesus and not on what Jesus did at the cross. Or it is some hybrid of that.   6. Eventually both these false teachings and false focuses lead to destruction. 7. They can see the error in others by they cannot see their own error. 8. They DO NOT discern the spirits to see if they are from God. 9. These groups also both build their theology on the
