Are you claiming that people who loved their neighbor before Jesus came around entered, get a special pass? That is not gospel.
Then we have the sheep in Matthew 25, who consist of many after Jesus came around, who are awarded the kingdom of heaven for having loved their neighbor.

Does your bible only go up to the four gosepls . You know the difference between the name of the four books and THE Gospel of grace ?

God is love, means love is God. If you love your neighbor, you're Godding your neighbor.

If we believe in loving our neighbor as the Samaritan did, I will then inherit the kingdom of heaven. If I don't believe in loving my neighbor, as did neither the priest or the rabbi, I will then not inherit the kingdom of heaven, but instead will very likely be among those at the judgment seat saying: "Lord, Lord...", to whom the Lord will reply, never having known them.

Does any of the language pertain to anyone else other than Israel ?

People before Jesus, like the Samaritan did not get a special pass; the Lord died for all who would love their neighbor as themselves from Adam up to the Lords return.

Yes he told them . Your not the' them ' in the context.
see this is how some read the bible . " And God said to Moses " , " oh yes , i think this is talking to me really.

' And Jesus said to ....." Oh but this is Jesus speaking to me really .

'Hope ' is referring to the return of christ not on the believers position. Either your sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption, today , or your not at all . There is no grey area .

It also is yet to be revealed. We know by faith and respond with hope.

Your salvation is contingent upon your performance and not based on what Jesus did :(

While the Lord gave the ten commandments directly to the Exodus Jews; I am aware that God meant it for the whole world, and not just one small group of people.
