I noticed that most didn't get the meaning of the parable. How is that possible?

Yea, I think it's one of the simpler parables to comprehend, even when considering that all the parables are about the kingdom of God.

Samaritans and Jews were at odds, of course, yet the Samaritan was more neighborly to the Jew than the Jews were. That's the kingdom, essentially, from which the dogs, sorcerers, and other evildoers are cast out, just like those two Jews.

bullshit-----interestingly I have had---in the past---a long conversation with a real PRESENT
day Karaite on line. For the record----they (the jews and karaites) never did the christian thing
that took place in the BRITISH piles. Jews and Samaritans have been getting on well for the
past 2000 years

Where were they living? Not in Palestine.

what are you calling "palestine" are you a ROMAN?

Syrians and Greeks also called it Palestine as did the British and the Turks.

Even Chaucer and Shakespeare called it Palestine.

Do you actually IMAGINE you made a point?-----the "HOLEY ROMAN EMPIRE" established
the moniker. In fact jews called it "palestine" too----back in the day. It is a word that
arabic speaking people cannot pronounce. It is GREEK

Would civil rights be different locally? How about the court system?

Why do you think the Feds are any better at handling local matters and courts than the people who live there? Why should the Feds hold the whip hand?

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.

You are gravely mistaken if you think you can delegate your responsibilities to politicians.

Like everything. If it happens on the local level, locals are as capable as handling it as someone in DC.

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

So, the wealthy people - those in the highest tax brackets - are the good Samaritans.

They might be.

And the people who don't pay taxes at all - welfare recipients, children, John Kerry, etc, are not good Samaritans.

Only the people next door are my neighbors.

People in other towns states or countries are not my neighbors

This is not the message of the parable.

The parable is wrong

You just said it yourself they really weren't neighbors.

So calling them neighbors is incorrect

It depends on context. Mexico is a US neighbor.. so is Canada.

I shouldn't have to explain this.
