It doesnt matter which political system you live under. You call me ignorant so point out where I have got the parable wrong. What is Jesus telling us with this story ?
Do you mean the Good Samaritan? Well Tommy as usual, you even have the MAIN POINT wrong. Read and learn:
Jesus is responding to the lawyer's main question:
Who is my neighbor? (Not, "Who should provide or pay for health care, notably, or what is government function)
Jesus chooses a Samaritan because in those days, people of Samaria would have been ignored by religious leaders--as the story illustrates. So Jesus says: your neighbor is everyone. You are to care for everyone in need around you.
However AND NOTE: this is for US PERSONALLY, NOT for advice on our governments. What Jesus teaches us to do personally does NOT mean this is how we should choose to run our governments exactly.
This is why, Tommy, I have personally fed and cared for illegal immigrants here in my own hometown, but totally defend my nation's right to defend our borders. And that is NOT in conflict. They ARE my neighbors, and I"m beholden to care for them--so I do. However, my government's role is NOT the same, and their role is and can be to defend borders. And that is what they should do.
(BTW You can find the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10. I am reading the NT this year and just read this story. What are you reading in the Bible right now Tommy, since you're so familiar with the sayings of Jesus?)
