Are you like the Good Samaritan? Would you share in what ways you have displayed like love?

Question

For others?

As we know, the Samaritans were looked down upon by the Jews.

See Luke 10:25-37, for those who don't know the story.

Big--

I am not anti-semitic, and I don't appreciate the accusation. I base what I said on John:4:7-9:

7When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" 8(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])

Footnotes:

1. John 4:9 Or do not use dishes Samaritans have used

The Jews also thought of Gentiles as swine; I can also back this up with scripture if it is needed. You can't change history, my friend. If a Native American or African-American said to me that white-skinned people had wronged them, I would agree. Why? Because it is so, and I don't deny truth. I only added that to show that we are to love everyone, regardless of who they are.

To those who said they do not like to talk about their good works...I completely understand where you are coming from. I only asked this to inspire others to do good works of their own.

I go to the county jail and teach the Bible as well as bringing extra Bibles and Daily Bread's to encourage and edify those who are behind bars.

Matthew 25:37 "Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? 38 When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'

40 "The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'

Answer 3

I worked with a girl that was a homosexual. I really liked her, she is a nice person. She was in an accident and needed another car. I drove her around a few days til she found one. I did this not only because I liked her and wanted to help her, but God tells us to do unto others as we would have them do unto us.

Answer 4

I am a public school teacher. I always speak in defense of Islam and Judaism whenever I can. I don't care who I rattle in the process. One assistant principal got upset one year because my kids in class did not know how to say Merry Christmas in French. I told her that for the sake of the Jews and others who do not celebrate Christmas I would not impose stuff like that on them. Everyone in all of my classes KNEW that they had to drop their prejudices in my room. It was a safe-haven. Still is.

Answer 5

While crossing the street this afternoon I saw an old lady who had fallen down in the middle of the street. I carefully stepped over her instead of walking on her. I thought that was pretty nice of me. Incidentally---have you always been anti-semitic or is that something you picked up as you got older?

Answer 6

I am a member of a group of mothers and we are always helping and supporting each other. I help people I know that needs help. I am always kind to people I meet. I have been supportive to my brother-in-law who is struggling with alcoholism. I baby-sit my neighbor's kids when she needs a break. I don't like to talk about my deeds, though.

Peace!
