The scribe would begin at the entry point that the law (and to a nominal concern the prophets) is the consummate fulfillment of this Love; fulfill all the law and you have therein fulfilled all love. The other approach is from the entry point of the law having not ever been nor ever now being fulfilled outside of Christ; the law making offense known, the prophets making both God's persistent insistence and His acceptable remedy Christ Jesus known, love then on our part being our response to His much greater Love. One doorway is hinged inside out the other outside in, one being exited by man the other entered by Jesus. A third more populated direction exists, that of by simply loving whomever and whatsoever in whatever way personally afforded, therein is the intent of the law is fulfilled (or need for bypassed). Jesus though was careful to include "and the prophets" to the indication of fulfillment. When did the prophets ever say "just get along with everybody", "just desire happy thoughts for all people", "peace hugs and kisses" or "tolerance above all"? They never did. They always pointed to Christ and His love. This doorway doesn't even hang on a hinge because it only needs to stand propped up against one's easily purchased/constructed self justification.
