Who said "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."?

I think it's taken as an extrapolation of the biblical phrase, 'love thy neighbour as you'd love thyself' we need shea here! UGGHHHH fine. i'll go find my bible and give u a proper quote so i don't sound like an idiot. hang on.. 'Do not seek revene or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbour as yourself' (Leviticus 19.18) i think it's one of the commandments, (i should really know that, shouldn't i?) i remember reading somewhere it's one of the most important..love, faith and hope. but the greatest of these is love. it's in Romans somewhere... it's sort of one of the epitome of Christ's teachings. but i could be wrong. in which case i just wasted my time. maybe some other author thought it up.

It is from the Bible, I don't know where. but I just went around and posted on all the boards with a little Christian thingy. It was fun.

yeah, i did sorta notice a lot of posts entitled post that seemed to have some sort of Christian theme. u might wanna check the old testament. (that narrows it down, doesn't it? ) ) it's prolly in there somewhhherrre.

The golden rule: Jesus says -
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets" (Matthew 7:12).

i can't believe i didn't know that. oops i often used to read Matthew 7... back when i was more religious. cry

I think it´s in Luke as well. But I can´t remember where.

Hi, I was just exploring, I usually skip over this part of the forums (though I don't really know why). The other place in Luke for your quote is Luke 6:31 "Do to others as you would have them do to you."
