What are the Greatest Commandments *Mark 12:28-34** *EBC 4~/13~/08
In the first 5 books of our English Bibles there are 613, laws given to man.
Some of these are positive in nature while others are negative in nature.
Some tell a man what he should do and some tell what he should not do.
It was these 613 laws that formed the belief system of the Jews.
The Scribes and Pharisees spent most of their time debating which of these commandments was the most important.
