Among the earliest prohibitions were restrictions on the appropriation of women and other property. [1]

¶ The great commandments
Two great commandments: [10]
- The Lord our God is one Lord, and you should love him with all your mind and heart.
- Do your very best to love all his children as you love yourself.
The divine command, “Be you perfect, even as I am perfect”. [11]
No personal creature can be coerced into the eternal adventure; the portal of eternity opens only in response to the freewill choice of the freewill sons of the God of free will. [12]
Shall you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. [13] Pharisees taught 613 rules of living. [14] Sanhedrists deserted commandments in favor of oral traditions. [15]
“You have been taught that you should ‘fear God and keep his commandments, for that is the whole duty of man. ’ But I have come to give you a new and higher commandment. I would teach you to ‘love God and learn to do his will, for that is the highest privilege of the liberated sons of God’. [16] Fatherly affection would require that you should love your fellow mortals as Jesus loves you. [17]
You well know the commandment which directs that you love one another. I would have you perform still greater acts of love. And so I give you this new commandment: That you love one another even as I have loved you. [18]
¶ Commandments for angels
Beings of high spiritual orders receive only three divine injunctions, and they are: [19]
- Always to show adequate respect for the experience and endowments of their seniors and superiors.
- Always to be considerate of the limitations and inexperience of their juniors and subordinates.
- Never to attempt a landing on the shores of Divinington.
