    You have to believe in something to act upon it, whether is it just (righteous), or unjust (inequitable). They, like the Samaritan were not made righteous by their good works; their good works were the result of their belief. To answer your question: I believe they like the Samaritan whom the...

    We have all sinned, including the Samaritan. Nevertheless, the Samritans mercy/love for his neighbor shall cover a multitude of his sins (his lack of faith in doing what was right). Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. 1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have...

    climate change, the third horseman

    Hello noblenut, In Revelation 9:20 we see all the plagues that occur in Revelation chapters 8 & 9 attributed to the love mankind has for the works his hands produce. Today these works are produced primarily through industry, which burn fossil fuels. In Revelation 8:7, 1/3 of earths trees, along...

    Do you understand what true acknowledgement of Christ is? Jesus Christ is one with God; and God is love. People like the Samaritan who in their actions acknowledge love, therefore acknowledge God and Jesus.

    Must all dispensationalists believe in cessation of miracles?

    I can agree with your perspective to a point, as long as your interpretation does not then deny the scripture, and, or other scriptures which paint an entirely different picture. All the bible which is Gods Word must support all the other scriptures. We just have to connect all these scriptures...

    Stars in Revelation 12 and in Daniel 8 are angels. And angels are either messengers from God who illumine mankind with truth, or they are from the devil and illumine mankind with deception. When the little horn casts heavens stars to the ground and stomps all over them (Daniel 8:10); he is...

    how can it be him

    Jesus went into Jerusalem with all the people praising Him for all the miracles He did, and yet a couple of days later they were all crying out for his crucifixtion at the direction of their religious leaders. So while many may have heard words from Jesus on the street, they apparantly did not...

    I am making assumptions in regards to how many people in the worlds numerous denominations actually believe in loving their neighbors and their enemies. And as I stated, I am only guessing on the percentages. I, however, am not making any assumptions on who they in 1 John 4:7-16 are, and are...

    Poison

    It's not that some have a deathwish, it's the devil who deceives all mankind (Revelaiton 12:9) with false illumination (2 Corinthians 11:14), in which people believe their actions to be beneficial, or at least benign. All the plagues seen in Revelation chapters 8 & 9 are attributed to the love...

    Unfortunately, what you say about most Muslims and Buddhists not knowing loving their neighbors is correct. The vast majority of Muslims, Buddhists, atheists, do not believe in loving their neighbors, and especially not their enemies. I'm just guessing, but maybe 1% or 2% may be like the...

    Mystery Babylon

    Horns in the bible are often a methaphor for the military of a nation. Currently, one then sees there being only seven militaries for the G-7, one military for each nation. This is where it gets a little complicated. In Daniel 7:7-8, we see the fourth beast who has ten horns, from whom a little...

    They who leave everything to follow Christ will likewise receive a hundred fold more than what they leave behind (Matthew 19:29). Matthew 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall...

    I will come full circle and ask a basic question: Would Muslims and Buddhists who like the Samaritan in Luke 10 believed in loving their neighbors and enemies be part of the sheep in (Matthew 25:34-40), or is there some other place the Samaritan and Buddhists and Muslims like him go, other than...

    I have tied scriptures with scriptures confirming what believing in Christ means, which is to love ones neighbor. Instead of raising an empty accusation that my perspective is circular reasoning leading to a smoking pit, maybe you could explain how so?
