Some things yes but the point is more to.illustrate the need for love and acceptance of neighbors (all beings) than hatred, animosity, or ill will toward them.
In the heart of this, this came to mind :
Quote:34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[c] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
I like the end of it : All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. Let's say if he didn't get this from the bible, then none of the Prophets did reach to him
. Also like how it says : And the second is like it, which hints that to love your neighbour as yourself is alike to love God with all you are.
