Like Water to a duck,
Your Ridicule, Slander, a**umptions and accusations,
Roll Right off...!!!

I'm just waiting For BibleMaster to catch up with what You're doing...!!!

marco,

Jesus is the Good Samaritan.

I am the man laying beat to death on the side of the road.

a priest could not help me (religion offered me nothing)

a levite could not help me (the law could not help me)

BUT the Good Samaritan came.  He

1. had compa**ion on me

2. bound up my wounds

3. loaded me on his beast

4. brought me to rest in shelter

5. paid in advance for me the fine that was to come.

doesnt sound like i did anything.  sounds like he did everything. 

thank you for the question marco.  I needed to be reminded about my Good Samaritan.

thank you for the question marco.  I needed to be reminded about my Good Samaritan.  we all do.

Like Water to a duck,

John 12:40

I had a friend who liked to gamble and he explained to me the three rules of gambling:

1. you can't win

2. you can't break even

3. you can't get out of the game.

And when he saw him, he was moved with compa**ion."

John 8.48 The Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

The Pharisee's were mistaken Jesus was a Samaritan and ever chance they got judged and showed partially.

God doesn't like partiality!

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, grew up in Nazareth, came from the Sea of Galilee. He was not a Samaritan because He called Himself a Jew "we Jews worship on this mountain" while speaking to the Samaritan woman in John 4.

These religious gurus will look at Samaritans dirty as dogs because the people weren't ceremonially cleanse like themselves as prescribed in the Law of Moses.

Paul the apostle explains in Ephesians 2 they wouldn't even sit together and actually a wall was built to separated the two.

And since Jesus would sit with them also thought he was a Samaritan.

Jesus will drive out demons right in front them and still wouldn't believe He was the Son of God. They thought He had receive power from Beezelbub(aka Lord of the Files--another name for Satan).

These guys were spiritually dead, completely!

The LORD Jesus knew they were dead wrong and tells them:

Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

Christ denies having a demon but He does not deny being a Samaritan. Why?

Symbolically, yes, Jesus in the third person spoke(though some don't believe it) about himself as the Parable of the Good Samaritan and other Parables in the Gospels(for example, the Talents or Minas in Matthew 25! But let's get this straight: he wasn't born as a Samaritan!

But let's get this straight: he wasn't born as a Samaritan! .... He may not have been born a Samaritan, so why wouldn't He deny being a Samaritan. It was a direct challenge to Him....
