Abstract
This research is a philosophical research with the objective of answering the question whether Love in the New Testament can be interpreted in the perspective of postmodern philosophy. The research found out that loving the neighbors according to Jesus’ teachings is loving humans. But there is the opposite of the argument that 1. The New Testament should be interpreted according to the meaning that has been familiar., 2. Interpreted according to the meaning that the Jews gave to the Law 3.To teach for Christians to love theirs neighbors as people who live close to each other, who are the same Christians, which is a right enough action. For the researcher searched for the answer to argue on the first issue that Jesus did not limit the word neighbor by understanding as accustomed or defined but also to means also those who need care and want love. Secondly, loving the neighbors according to the Jewish law is good, but God wants to do more than the literal meaning, that is done to those whom we do not know. And the third point, Jesus Christ clearly
teaches that our neighbors are not only the same race, social status, or religion as ours, may be the enemy that is attacking us. The researches suggests to research further about love for peace, ether in the personal social level.

Keywords: hermeneutics, Love neighbor, postmodern philosophy

Introduction

From the experience since childhood, the researchers has always met with good neighbors to each other, provide help in times of distress, and provide assistance in return forever. There may be sometimes misunderstandings but it is possible to adjust the understanding because they live together, the house is next to each other, picking vegetables that grow on the fence together without showing ownership but having to share with each other, which is similar to the Bible text of Christianity that says “Neighbor is better
than a distant brother” (Proverbs 27: 10). Being near each other is a good thing as it can provide quicker assistance than relatives who are far away. Not far away, but looking at neighboring neighbors who are able to provide help faster when sudden incidents occur as the researcher studied the subject of loving neighbors, according to Jesus’ parable. In the New Testament, the principle of loving neighbors is interesting to see how Jesus taught this principle and how to In expressing how to love neighbor, what is love of neighbor as taught by Jesus, because according to the tradition of the Israelites or Jews who are of the same race as Jesus, they have the idea of loving neighbors that are not like gods. Jesus teaches. Jesus teaches different things and in today’s world, what is to show love for your neighbors, and it is still necessary and important. Whether or not your love for your neighbor in Jesus’ day, taught in this story, is in an ancient paradigm that emphasizes the
rules of showing love or doing something for someone or someone to do. There is a reward, but Jesus teaches us to think differently, showing that loving affection with our neighbors is something done by love that does not require anything in return and to do as much as we can. Yes, even if showing love seems strange, and no one wants to do that. Loving a neighbor according to Jesus’ teachings and philosophies of the moderate way should be a common thing. Can be taught because to love without expecting anything in return, doing good things with the purpose of making the society peaceful and safe, not to create enemies but seek to live together happily for this reason, the researcher is interested to take the love of neighbor according to the teachings of Jesus to analyze and analyze what is the love of the neighbor according to the New Testament in the postmodern philosophy in order to be clear in the use of principles. Loving neighbors and society today, which will
improve the quality of life, thinking and doing good things to those around you. However, the interpretation or education of there may be dissenters and many arguments because it is a matter of teachings that are diverse in practice.

Literary Review

1. Parable is a new scripture scholar who has tried to explain the parable of what Jesus said, with the meaning of the parable, the reason for the use of the parable of Jesus, which All are important in understanding the things that Jesus wanted to communicate with people in His Majesty’s day and its application in the present day. Therefore, the parable means to put one thing aside for one purpose for comparison. In general, a metaphor is often used in everyday situations to emphasize or to describe In the New Testament, the radical word written in Greek, and this word we found in the gospel is Parabole. Therefore, we must look back to Supporters of the Greek words that have meaning in the first century Greek people speak and understand the parable in the Gospel? When we do that, we will find it. Parabole is described as a metaphor or analogy, which is composed as an ordinary event in everyday life that appears morally or spiritually.

1.1 The metaphor in the Old Testament is in the Hebrew language that is referring to the story of this world that reflects heaven, which is used in 4 categories, including proverbs, sarcasm, sarcasm, satirical puzzles, comparative tales

1.2 Parable in the parable The New Testament in the New Testament gives the meaning of many of the metaphors, which are separated out as follows: Proverbs illustrate the comparison of tales from all of the aforementioned metaphors.

The metaphor is composed as an ordinary event in everyday life that appears morally or spiritually, using various forms

2.Paradigm: “Paradigm” corresponds to the English language “Paradigm”, which is derived from Latin. “Paradigma” means side by side which has Another meaning that shows parallel (Bunchua, 2002). Around 1475 C.E., people started using the word paradigm to be Special meaning in English as “model” or pattern (pattem) Thomas Kuhn began to use this term in science since 1962, and JA Barker has been used in social psychology since the year 1971. , 1992 C.E. to refer to the procession (Bunchua, 2002, pp. 184-185)

3.Interpretation: Hermeneutics is a course on the interpretation of the methods and rules used to interpret or analyze the meaning of the language, with the English root derived from Latin as hermenutica, which later came to different languages. In Europe, it was adapted to fit the pattern according to their own vocabulary in English.

Thus, the word hermeneutics philosophy (hermeneutics philosophy) the philosophy that uses the method of discernment as a judgment of the progress (philosophical perception). The content interpreted by the way of exchange is a scope of interesting fact studied. (Bunchua, 2003, pp. 1-3)

4.Scripture Interpretation: The interpretation of the Bible has several methods of interpretation, although it is the Bible that is included in the same book and hundreds of stories, each book is a story that is centered on Jesus Christ, but each book has its own characteristics and methods of writing. The purpose of the author, the nature of the recipient and the time of writing are different. Therefore, it is necessary to understand Christ. Scripture by the interpretation of Silpchai Chaovaroenrat (Chaovaroenrat, 2008, pp. 8-10) mentioned the importance of the interpretation of the scriptures:

4.1 The Bible is a collection of books from several small books (approximately 40 people) each. You have very different social backgrounds, and most of them are in hundreds or thousands of different eras. Each of you is different without any advance appointment until later, with people leading you. To gather together, and in the collection of books, it has not been explained and directed, all of which is normal for people to read the Bible and not understand or misunderstand it.

4.2 The Bible was written in the past. Which is far from us for thousands of years? It is also written in a worldview of history and ancient culture that is very far from modern times. Therefore, readers who do not the history and culture of those ancient people would read the Bible and not easily understand or misinterpret.

4.3 The Bible is written in many ancient languages that have meaning, vocabulary, grammar and idioms different from general literature. At present (Even after reading the translated version) is often read, misunderstood or misinterpreted.

4.4 The Bible is a record of the manifestation of God that has lasted for thousands of years. The content is very detailed and very detailed. Proceed with the story slowly revealing the story more slowly. With this style, readers who do not read the Bible throughout the book interpreted. Wrong scriptures are misled by some verses that make mistakes from the meanings of the Bible as a whole.

4.5 In terms of doctrine, doctrine, and behavior, the scriptures do not write these matters in writing. System and summary is a complete story in itself, but these stories are spread in the Bible throughout the book and not systematically followed, may not understand or strike

Method of research
This research is based on philosophical research using data synthesis from primary and secondary documents using dialectic method, which is a form of logical analysis of reasoning of both parties, and is a discussion or discursive method of discussion from data, documents to summarize opinions in the form of multiple ideas (Pluralistic) Dialectical method is a method of asking questions that may be answered ling many answers as possible, showing the reasoning of the researcher and the reason for the opposite side for the shortcomings in order to support them. The answer of the researcher analysis is to separate the issues with clarity in order to understand the meaning of the information, news, information that has been searched carefully. Appreciation is the evaluation of various stories about the advantages, disadvantages, with a neutral heart to make a straightforward conclusion. Application is the selection of the things that come from the appraisal, which has been evaluated as valuable and useful in order to apply for improving the quality of life to be truly happy In fact.

The result of the research
Shows that loving the right neighbor according to Jesus’ teachings is loving all
humans, both we know and don’t know, which our opponents have. The argument is that

1.It should be interpreted according to the original meaning that was familiar. In the past, the researcher had the argument, that the understanding as stated above is not wrong and is something that should be done very strongly because when the interpretation is according to the word The vocabulary that we know or learned can be implemented appropriately and should be done, but what we can do doesn’t mean that we will do just this, because it will be the limit. We may need to change our minds that our neighbors do not really mean only those to us. Know or people who live close to us because of the limited meaning that we are equal to the space we are doing our best to reduce because sometimes the suffering or the beginning. No matter what bad things happen to you, not your neighbors who live close to you, you can express your love for them. We hold that the meaning or definition of this matter is not wrong. But if we look far and wide, we will find that neighbors are actually wider than the definition that we hold.

2.Should be interpreted according to the meaning that the Jews gave the meaning of nature. The researcher has to argue, but showing love to neighbors in Israel or Jews is more detailed, so skinists have to try to do more than just a few commandments they have read and taught. Which means that they must love their neighbors more than people we know or those who live in the same community or village, in which the Bible contains suggestions that people Will do more than that in the Ten Commandments and all that. God has already encouraged or guided them on how to do it. The more Jews would consider that when they obeyed the law they would be called more righteous than others. That is what God rejoice when he does that good thing for God, but God wants him to do it to mankind by giving. Giving to the poor that he doesn’t know is doing good to his neighbors. Jesus encourages him to do good to the poor that he doesn’t know, so he can receive more praise and receive what he wants – eternal life. It is not the use of money to buy into the heavens, but the use of the money or the wealth that they have so much to
help others to be happy.

3.Teach for Christians to love our neighbor as ourselves, which we show to those we know, people who live close to each other, who are also Christians, which is the right action. An important message for the love of neighbors is “because those who do not love their brothers and sisters, who already see it, will love God that cannot be seen”. The fact that we say that we love God must first show that we love humans first, which is something we can see and touch. To show love to fellow humans, whether known or the unknown is an expression of love for neighbors, as Jesus taught and desired to do. The basis of loving God is to love others first and we understand that what is true love that turns out to be an act? God wants us to show compassion and forgiveness for those who persecute us, which is related to the following: Love the enemy, not just us. Will love only the people you love, but God teaches you to love your enemies as well. It’s not easy to do this, but God wants us to be round. It is our own enemy to God that humans have sinned and separated from God. But with His love, Jesus has to redeem us all. This is an example of love for His enemies so that we will welcome Jesus Christ and come back to have a good relationship with God again with His love, the love of all kinds of human beings, regardless of how high and noble you are God urges Christians to love their enemies, which can only be done by supernatural grace from God. Christian values in loving neighbors according to Jesus’ teachings are not only those we know but Also refers to people we do not know and enemies as well.

Discussion

1.From the meaning of the word” love neighbor “from the study It is found that the reason for the opposite side is to focus on the character and stick to the original idea of the meaning of the word that neighbors are people who know and stay in the same framework, which does not result in doing good things to The house is more than a friend. The house in Jesus’ meaning is only known and unknown. Citing thoughts, meanings, and prior knowledge only by word of mouth, the expression of love for neighbors is narrow and there are more personal reasons to Not showing love to people who do not know, but the teachings of Jesus is to love neighbors, both people we know and do not know, which is to promote living together. Being happy does not hold on to your self-will or self-will, and know how to make others happy by sacrificing something that we have that we can give.

2.When the conclusion that is sure to love neighbors. Based on the research
question about loving neighbors in the New Testament, according to the philosophical viewpoint of the moderate way, the researcher would like to present that he was able to present his love for In order to encourage society to live together peacefully with people we know and don’t know, whether it is in a one-on-one relationship, neighbors, friends in the community, friends at work. In national or even international level schools that will give all parts access to the opportunity to show love for their neighbors, to reduce the act of disgust with In addition, showing love instead will allow society at the small and large levels to be able to live in true peace, even if it takes a long time, but it is necessary to promote.

Suggestions

1.Suggestions for using research results in order to make the society happy by showing love to one another. The researcher therefore suggested that this research is to use have a story about love, neighbor, included in the curriculum for students so that students learn not to bully others, both actions and words, organize more volunteer camps in order to be distributed and shared Good for others to organize training on discipline in various fields that will be a direct and indirect effect on the expression of love for neighbors. The television drama production focuses on expression of love for others in terms of helping, sharing, more than violence and sexual issues.

2.Suggestions for research: In this research, the researcher has the objective of answering the philosophical research question about love for neighbors in the New Testament, according to the moderate postmodern philosophy , but if there is a battle The researcher has suggested for the next research, which are
2.1 Attached to the love of neighbors in various religions according to the
moderate postmodern philosophy.
2.2 Attached to the love the neighbor and not bullying friends in the school.
According to the moderate postmodern philosophy.
