Are Not Mutually Exclusive # There is a famous scene in the gospels where the Pharisees try to trap Jesus. In an attempt to nail him for heresy they get a lawyer to ask him which of the commandments is greatest. The thought process behind the trap is that no matter what response Jesus gives they will nail him. By making a judgement call on which commandment is best he will be degrading the others. So they put him on the spot (Matthew 22:34-40).
