The Samaritan could have said the same thing to the guy on the road. But he didn't, he helped him.

So, in Rak's mind....the Samaritan was an assshole, he should have lectured the man about laziness and keeping guard.

You Rak, are a moron!! And a failure of Christ.

How is the wagon ride going?

Does the guy deserved to be helped if:

He is a great guy in his community.

He is a lazy bum.

Answer KellyJay.

I prefer doing for people for those things Jesus did for them, not because of what they deserve due to their own righteousness.

And kindly confirm in advance you won't call my considered answer lame.

Why, Jesus died for each of us so that means we each share the highest value due to Christ and not our sins.

Did Jesus specify?

I cannot do that. You generally involve cheese, or poor jokes with your replies.

Both lame.

If a villainous chap stole my wallet, and while making his swift getaway was knocked down by a car, I would still be the first on scene to give him assistance.

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.

Would you help the man?
As the Samaritan did?

Of 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.

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.

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?

The Bible says to help anyone. Even if you know the cause.
I would not allow your stupidty and poor life choices, to be the reason why Im condemned by Christ.

I think 15 would be quite sufficient sir.
