The fact that a friend was in need and the friend help him made the friend a neighbor as per your own synopsis of the parable of the good sameritain. And you are right the robbers or the two other Jews were not neighbors to the man in need so they could not be considered neighbors. Unlike the man who gave his friend in need the bread he was looking for. Because he did this it made him a neighbor by Christ definition, but not by yours which again is ok. For if you can not comprehend how the two parables relate then again I am more than willing to concede the point.(October 7, 2013 at 5:19 pm)Drich Wrote: I've read this 3 times now, and I still do not see a viable argument on your part.
Another stalling tactic and way to avoid questions.

You have finally acknowledged that I have called you a liar. Too bad you are not man/woman enough to admit that you have been lying.
Quote:Can you please calm down and maybe rephrase in such a way as to have some sort of point.
Asserting again drich. Please point out where I am not calm or is this another lie?
Quote:All I get out of this is you think I am a liar but really can not see why or how you come to that conclusion.
You do not see how I come to this conclusion
I will come back to this one in another post because I would not want you to be distracted from answering questions. I know how much you hate avoiding questions
Before we move on, could you please answer this question which you ignored. It might help you understand.

Your best is not good enough. Here are some questions that you avoided.
Is the following what you would call ''good samaritan parable'?
29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

This is your scriptural reasoning for using neighbour instead friend. Please tell me exactly where it says that the robbers, priest and levite are neighbours or is this another lie?
Quote:For this you have called me intellectually dishonest and a liar many many times. You just seem very angry for no reason.
Everyone can see the lies in the posts that you have put forth in this discussion. Me calling you out on your lies does not make me angry. Why would you think I am angry? Actually I love it when you post back to me with lies because it makes you look like a fool. This last post your tactic this time was not to lie but to plead ignorance. Either way you still look like a fool.
So we do not get sidetracked, here is the post that we are going to go step by step through. So far we are still on the neighbour/friend issue since none of your post have actually added to the discussion. If you are not going to add to the discussion of the neighbour/friend issue I will accept that you have no valid reason for using the word neighbour instead of friend when describing the friend with the loaves as as neighbour. Then we can move onto the next issues.
I say that you are angry because you simply repeat accusations that don't make sense. Like the neighbor friend thing we just did. Just because you do not understand something or because I misspoke doesn't mean I am trying to deceive you. You just have a very limited biblical world view and a limited understanding of the bible that has you hold to literal word for word accountability to your specific understanding. Which again is no big deal for the Jewish leaders of Christ's day held the same view of the scriptures, and held the same contempt for anyone who spread the Gospel. I am more than happy to continue one subject at a time flaming Poe or not.
