The Good Samaritan and how it influences your political beliefs.

[surada]

I'm the best neighbor there is.

I'm quiet I keep my house and yard immaculately clean. I mind my own business and I have an 8 foot fence around my property because good fences make good neighbors.

Good Samaritans aren't necessarily from your neighborhood. The point of the parable is not to be a good neighbor to the people next door.

The Samaritans often taunted the Jews. They rejected all of the Old Testament except the Pentateuch, and they claimed to have an older copy than the Jews and boast that they observe the precepts better.

The Jews repaid them with hatred. They rejected the Samaritan copy of the law and publicly denounced that Samaritans were of any Jewish birth (John 4:12).

Socialism codifies so much of this. My taxes help people I have never even met. That is the essence of being a Good Samaritan.

No, it is not. The Good Samaritan does not depend on government to take care of people. One of the most despicable things about government and bureaucracy is making it impossible (by over taxing) for the individual to help others himself. These taxes you are so proud of paying do more to provide jobs to bureaucrats (at fine wages) than they do to help those in need. The best way to help those in need is to leave it to each person. I resent being taxed to the point where I cannot be of real help to another.

Try Libertarian. It is why I despise the Democrat Machine and their Big Government agenda.

From what I can see Republican godbotherers absolutely hate democrats with a passion. That's so Christian of them
Only yesterday a ratbag on another forum suggested they should all be eliminated.
Is that what your politics and religion teach them?

The evidence of history is that when folk are left to their own devices they tend not to help others and those in need go without. Check out the novels of Dickens.

I cant really believe that these people are Christians. The Good Samaritan parable is pretty uncomplicated but perhaps it can be tough to keep to. Only a couple of posters on this thread seem to place much faith in it. Or perhaps it clashes with their political views?

I have never figured out what Libertarians believe.. You want to build private roads and rescue squads?

I was asling a simple question. It Seems you don’t apply the Good Samaritan parable in your life.

Luke wrote the parable of the "Good Samaritan" He never met Jesus.
It was all conjecture

So there are parts of the Bible we should ignore ?

Near as I can tell you ignore most of it. You think morals are voting. The very story you cite is an example of doing. Not voting.

The point is that the Jews despised the Samaritans yet a Samaritan rescued a Jew.

Yes, a samaritan was chosen in order to emphasise the point.

right----LUKE chose a samaritan ----something like 300 years later to EMPHASIZE a point.
what point?

 

[Flash]

These stupid uneducated Moon Bats really don't know much about the Bible.

The Bible teaches that charity should come from the heart, church and family. Nothing about the filthy ass government running a bloated corrupt welfare system

 

[Papageorgio]

This seems like a a dishonest thread. It is more to bash on Christians than to really want to know what people believe, Just my opinion knowing the OP usually thrives on bashing others. He doesn't seem to be a good Samaritan.

The church let the victim down.

Love thy neighbour ?

 

[Papageorgio]

Tommy Tainant You can whine all you want but you can't stop me from posting my opinion about this thread. You are always bashing America and Christians and anyone else you can to help your fragile ego.

You want to be honest for a change, then I'll answer your question.

Thanks for showing what a good Samaritan you really are.

Bible Gateway passage: Luke 10:25-37 - The Message

Defining “Neighbor” - Just then a religion scholar stood up with a question to test Jesus. “Teacher, what do I need to do to get eternal life?” He answered, “What’s written in God’s Law? How do you interpret it?” He said, “That you love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and...

So it was told to explain what being a good neighbour was all about.

How does it influence how you deal with your neighbours and how do you modify your behaviour to keep within the teachings ? How does your politics reflect this ?

you first,,

I try and vote for policies that help people. I recognise that it is an unfair world but I do my little bit.

And then like all leftist you vote with your emotions and vote for the idiot who promises rainbows and sunshine

How's that homeless problem in the UK

In California and NY they've already pissed away billions on programs that suck in taxpayer money as the bureaucracies continually do pretty much nothing

$8000.00 pentagon hammers

$2500.00 tents in LA

Or a few hundred million on apartments for homeless that never get built in California
YOU care so much

Pffft The west is coming down
It needs to burn ....indeed the elites are on to something
