Izzy, I think that what Slade was trying to say with his previous comment was in the Lord's eyes there is no diffence between the neighbor, brother, or people. When trying to follow the Greatest Commands we are to love them regardless of whether they are a brother, neighbor, people, or even an enemy.
So, if there is no difference in the Lord's eyes why should ther be any difference in our eyes. I hope this helps.
