Re: who is our brother?
... The Parable of the Good Samaritan was to demonstrate that we are to care even for our enemies.
So you don't shoot them, right?

Of course not, RAZD. Even if I encounter my brother after he's killed a dozen people and is about to kill more, of course I shouldn't shoot him, should I? That wouldn't be nice, because he's my brother.

No.
I live in Florida in a home valued at $89,000 dollars, which is mine as long as I pay the taxes on it.
But I do own a mansion that has a street in front of it paved with pure Gold.

Hi vimesey,
You want to start a thread somewhere in a religion thread so we can discuss it?

Hi Faith,
Faith writes:
I've always understood that our brother is the entire human race.
I am not a brother to the devils children.
Jesus told the scribes and Pharisees they were of their father the devil. John 8:3-47
I am a born again child of God which makes me a member of God's Family. Everyone who is in God's Family is my brother or sister through Christ.
Faith writes:

The story of the good Samaritan is not a parable. It is and event that took place. Jesus refered to a certain person which makes it real instead of a parable.

Re: who is our brother?
But scripture tells us to bless our enemies, bless those who persecute us and pray for them and so on. And although I believe the Good Samaritan is a parable and not a real story it doesn't make any difference, because the idea is that the Samaritan took care of a Jew who was his enemy. Of course, assuming you are a true Christian you are my brother in a sense an unbeliever isn't, but I don't think that's what is meant here. But I don't want to get into a theological argument about this.

The first amendment was intended to PROTECT a Christian's right to teach our children our Christian principles but it's been perverted into the exact opposite meaning.
That of course is simply another example of you posting falsehoods. You have every right to continue teaching your children all of the falsehoods and nonsense you want. There are NO prohibitions against that in the US.
It's just unfortunate for you that reality exists and that your children might get exposed to reality, honesty, truth and facts.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
