However I will contest on your 'inflicted' comment. There is absolutely nothing in that passage, nor in any of the four gospels for that matter, that suggest that Jesus ever inflicted diseases on anybody. He was only ever depicted healing. (In fact I'm almost certain the only curse He ever cast was on a fig tree, and that was just to teach His disciples a lesson.)Just running with the whole god incarnate song and dance.
Quote:As for the whole Samaritan parable, He used examples like that all the time. He was living in a very bigoted society so He would use examples from the society to teach, and challenge people's faith in spite of society. He was actually making the Samaritan man look good, while talking to a people who hated Samaritans. That was a bold move.Right, like those times when my grandfather used to point somebody out and say "See..that nigger can do it, whats wrong with you?"
Quote:Jesus was very bold and peculiar. But a bigot? Again, that is speculative.The character of jesus espouses the bigotries common to the time as a product of it;s time. Don;t get me wrong, I like the buddy jesus reimagining much better...but magic book is what it is.
