Good question, but it is one of God's commandments, right?

The commandment was to love God with all your heart, soul and mind. Just "loving God" seems like simple affection, and the latter seems fervent and passionate. :)

The point of the passage is that all of the commandments can be encompassed into those two--meaning, if you love God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself, you'll naturally fulfill all the other rules (in the law).

You missed it! Jesus said that the first of all commandments was Deut. 6:4. Hear O Israel, the Lord our God the Lord is one! AND you shall love Him with all your heart soul mind and strength......etc. :D

yes....but a command is much different then making something a law.....especially when you mix God & politics.
