[h=3]Zechariah 8:23 (KJV)[/h]
Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass,
that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations,
even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is aJew, saying,
We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations,
even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is aJew, saying,
We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
If you had continued reading that passage that talks about loving our "neighbor", Jesus explained who that included.
Now, Jews HATED Samaritans. They considered them lower life forms.... unclean. They were basically untouchables to Jews. But a Samaritan man came to the rescue/aid of a Jew that had been mugged and beaten severely. He doctored him, and put him up at an inn so that he could heal.
Does that sound like a man asking "do I have to like those people?"
Was that Samaritan the "neighbor" of that Jewish man?
Love doesn't ask "do I HAVE to..." What is in your heart?

In Samaria, north of Jerusalem, lived a Gentile people whom the Jews of Christ’s
day spurned, calling them “dogs.” They had been moved there from areas of the
Babylonian Empire about 700?b.c. by various kings, including Shalmaneser of Assyria
(2?Kings 17:18,?21-24, etc.). they where not Israelits.
lets go back a little
In the late eighth century b.c., God punished the Israelites by having the Assyrians,
a cruel and war-loving people from the region of Mesopotamia, invade Samaria.
“Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria,
and besieged it three years”This besiegement and invasion occurred between 721 -718 b.c.
After the Assyrians removed the Israelites from their towns and cities, they did not leave
Samaria uninhabited. The Bible records that “the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon,
and from Cuthah [near Babylon] … and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the
children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof” (verse 24).
This has to explain the perpetuation of Nimrod’s Babylonian mystery religion.
At this moment, around 718 b.c., tens of thousands of Babylonians, perhaps more
—people steeped in the teachings and practices of Nimrod’s Babylonian mystery
religion—were planted in the region of Samaria. The Babylonians and the false
religion of Nimrod and Semiramis became entrenched there.
It was in Samaria, roughly 750 years after this transplant, that the Catholic Church
was formally created. And, as we might expect, this history too was recorded in the Bible.

27Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom
ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the
manner of the God of the land.
28Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came
and dwelt in Beth–el, and taught them how they should fear the Lord.
-one priest seems to have taught Gods ways, but what about the other corrupt priests?
and the people living in Samaria at the time of Christ was not people of Israelite decent.
29Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high
places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
-They also had brought with them into the land of Samaria their own Babylonian mystery
religion. In the eighth chapter of Acts you’ll read of their religious leader in the time
of Christ, Simon Magus the Sorcerer.
Simon Magus had the same attitude as the devil, and was bound over in inequity.
The sin of simony, or paying for position and influence in the church, is named for Simon.

“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles
of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore
it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness…
There are similarities in doctrines and practices between the Babylonian mystery religion
and the Catholic religion. But this could be coincidence ?, unless there is something to
directly connect ancient Babylon to the Roman Catholic Church.

Der! You quote scripture all the time like you have a clue P-All.
Jesus would not have healed the Samaritans unless they were Israelites.
John 4
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water:.......12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

It is hypocrytical to stress the "hatred" of one people while the entire world right now is filled with relentless hatreds of all peoples by that element that occurs in all men.......the influence of Satan.
Love all people, even our enemies because Jesus teaches us to do so. Not only are we to love all people , including our enemies, we are to pray for them, for their salvation.
Having travelled in many cultures and nations I have experienced how people are identical in so many ways except religion, culture and local prejudices, yet they all want the same things..........those who believe have an earnest desire to please their Maker........God knows who they are, and I can say with some experince there are very few who rise above their prejudices.
Praise God, and do dHis Word. If all did this, they would not have any question about loving the Jews. Loving anyone for that matter.......
