Luke 10:30 A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
What would you do ? A simple 'Yes I would' or 'No .. no way ', would suffice as an answer. If you like you can explain why you would or would not.
Telling me your own version of the story or that I dont understand the story is a foolish comment and would be ignored. Thanks.

Make the guy a pedophile or some other equally reprehensible-to-you person and then ask yourself what you would do for that despised one.

(1) in His infinite Wisdom, the man has something to learn from all this.
(2) as he is a sinner, then he deserves it.
(3) he is a martyr and a eye opener for everyone else.
As I am not a christian, I would help him as far as I could.
