The world it seems is those that yet don't believe. Your neighbor is your Brothers and Sisters in Christ. In Israel held that belief as well . For all around them were there Enemy's. We have now become a part of the chosen Nation Israel . We are GODS people now , not belonging to the world. John 1: 13. We who have become born again, are children of GOD. You are right to say we are not to do earthy things . For we now are to Liston to GODLY things, and do them. This to me dose not say we are not to try an help those in the world to find the way, which is Christ. But I have found it better to Listen to The Holy Spirit. Who knows When, Where an, Why.
According to Judaism in the Old Testament, but when Jesus came on stage things were made clear, The Jews did not like it and Crucified Jesus for it.
What did Jesus make clear? For one , who is my neighbor?
Airclean--post-- I was wondering were do you see that?

Luke 10:25-37 :
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” 27 He answered, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ ; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ” 28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” 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 denariiand 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.”
Notice the Jewish priest who was well versed in the Law, passed the beaten man by , why because according to Judaism only Jews are brothers and sisters, Jesus changes the mans understanding of Its reading . The priest was jewish.

So did you note who the man that was beaten ,which tribe do you think he came from? What of the Levite was not he also jewish?

Jesus expand the concept of "neighbor" to include non Jews ,Jewish practice had come to the belief as you still do Aircleen that a "neighbor, " was a Jew . For Jesus, a neighbor was anyone with whom you came into contact with, whether a Jew, Samaritan, or Gentile, it did not matter .
Airclean--post --Where did you find a Gentile?
Once more I can not understand your thinking. Unless you don't understand who a Samaritan is , and were they come from. Samaritans were of the other 10 tribes of ISRAEL. The Jews had been at war with them , so did not look at them as friends. But they still were of the chosen. As you may note by what Jesus," said to the women at the well. He would have given her the drink of life , if but she had asked". She had also been looking for the Christ that was to come. Jesus said I am He.
So you may now see all were of Israel. I believe Jesus told that store as He did . Because the Jews had forgot who there Brothers and Sister were.

Jesus through the Cross attempts to unify humanity under one Father, Son & Spirit by action & deed , your way of interpreting scripture as the Pharisees did , separates.

No Brother I am not a Pharisee. We do not always agree , this is not what I worry about that much. I will point out my thoughts though. if there of no help to you then desregard them. I believe our LORD will fix it up sooner or Later.
GOD BLESS -airclean33Gord.
And that is not our place to do so
[Sorry two posts

Do you not understand ,GOD hardened there hearts so they would not accept Jesus as the Christ. For our sake.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Airclean-post all four were Brothers in that they were all from Israel and a part of the Chosen. Now I agree The Samaritan did the right thing. but the person he was helping was a Brother in Israel. So yes they would have been neighbors.

Airclean--post--I agree the Samaritan was the one who was doing the right thing ,he was helping a neighbor who was a Brother in Israel. Why are you having so much trouble understanding this ?

Again Christ Jesus is saying again it is the Samaritan who did the right thing. yet did the Jews not see them self's better than the Samaritans?

The scripter dose not read this way . It said he was scared. By the way the Jews had been a war for many years with ,the 10 Tribes of Israel. They normally would not help one another.

Airclean---post--You posted ---Aircleen that a "neighbor, " was a Jew) This is not true ,the Jewish tribe and the other 11 tribes are one , the are called Israel. Who as a save person by the Blood of Christ Jesus , A JEW BY BIRTH. am now too a chosen person", I am I believe a member of Israel. Under the promise GOD" made to Abraham.

Haven't we all been guilty of this last point?
Speaking for yourself, I presume?not as often
Speaking for yourself, I presume?
I find people in general only want to hear what they already believe. A truly open mind is rare these days. Both dogmatic religionists and the staunch and stubborn scientist can be this way. It doesn't seem to matter much, it's just human nature.
Even our thoughts and belief structures have an expiry date. Our religions and our science are in a constant state of transformation as the centuries pass. So why are we so attached to our ideologies?
Of course. But our view of it is always relative to our own point of view.do you believe in Absolute Truth ?
Of course. But our view of it is always relative to our own point of view.
Your describing relative truth that's not what I asked youOf course. But our view of it is always relative to our own point of view.
