This allegory can be interpreted in many ways; however in the context of platonic epistemology

Biblical Theological Seminary LEAD Formation and Mission Jeff Knight 11/26/2012 “Jesus Creed” Response Paper The Jesus Creed has really helped me to look at Scripture from what I believe is a more biblical and Jesus centered perspective. While I have read the words Jesus used from Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Leviticus 19:18 many times in Scripture‚ I never considered how all His teachings might have stemmed from them.
