I'm not sure why people have to make this so difficult...
He (Jesus)answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
So who is my neighbour? Simple. Everyone... not just the guy down the street... but the farmer in Africa as well. Not just people who you like or that think like you do. Your enemy too!
Why does the world suffer so? Because we are unwilling to act in this way.
The man written, but God inspired books of the bible ultimately say. "Believe and be saved." The rest of your faith 'works', flow out of 'you' because of your response to His grace.
