Matthew 22:36
"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"
Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
So the greatest of the commandments would be complete devotion to god the father. The second would be loving your enemies and neighbors alike.

From what I have seen of Christians the more devout they are they less tolerant they become? Would you agree?
Regarding the New Testament I would agree Jesus was a tolerant person with the possible exception of the merchants in the synagogue. But Christianity embraces the Old Testament aswell, which to me seems quite vindictive. For example I would be interested in your interpretation of Deuteronomy 21: 10 to 14? Of course there could be a problem with the King James version?
I don't get a sense from your posts that you are turning your other cheek?

As for your first question, I don’t quite understand what purpose it serves. Please explain to me and I will do my best answering it.
