Divine Guidance Chapter 2 Part I
Love your Neighbor

2. Leviticus 19:17     17 You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin; you shall reprove your neighbor, or you will incur guilt yourself.

2. What does it mean not to hate another in one’s heart, and why would it be bad to do so? How should we appropriately correct another who may be doing wrong?

3. Leviticus 19:18    18 You must not take revenge nor hold a grudge against any of your people; instead, you must love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.

3. What is involved in bearing a grudge, and what’s wrong with it? What’s wrong with seeking vengeance?

4. (3 Verses)

Leviticus 19:16     16 Do not go around slandering your people. Do not stand by while your neighbor’s blood is shed; I am the Lord.

Leviticus 25:17    17 You must not cheat each other but fear your God because I am the Lord your God.

Leviticus 19:14     14 You must not insult a deaf person or put some obstacle in front of a blind person that would cause them to trip. Instead, fear your God; I am the Lord.

4. What’s the harm in bearing tales about others, and why are we discouraged from doing so? Why and how are we not to wrong another by speech? What does it mean not to curse the deaf, and what’s the wrong in it? What does it mean to put a stumbling block in the way of the blind, and how do we avoid doing so?
