Does the guy at the side of the road deserve help from the Samaritan if:
The guy is a really good guy.
He is a lazy bum.
Did Jesus specify?
I have no control over his righteousness, only my own. I could probably find scriptural support for such a stance.
Edit: Unless of course he was eating cheese.
Originally posted by chaney3Of course, he was the victim of a crime. I have been doing that since childhood without even knowing of what Jesus preached. Jesus only served to reinforce what I already know and did.
Would you help the man?
As the Samaritan did?
But you, if I see you drunk in a gutter, before I picked you up and took you home, I would slap you about 20 times across your face. You are a victim of your own stupidity and weakness.
Originally posted by chaney3The Bible says to help anyone. Even if you know the cause.
Rak.....does the Bible say if the man who needed help was:
A good man?
A lazy, unemployed man?
Should that answer impact the Samaritan's choice to help?
I would not allow your stupidty and poor life choices, to be the reason why Im condemned by Christ.
