After listening to the parable of the Good Samaritan, the Pharisee recognized that the Samaritan was the one who acted like a neighbor, but could not even bring himself to say the word "Samaritan." He simply said, "The one who showed him compassion." Are there any groups of people that you or your relatives/friends/neighbors would look on the way that the Pharisee looked on the Samaritan? What do you say or do to counteract this view?
There isn't really any groups of people that I can think of where my family and I look on them the way the Pharisee looked upon the Samaritan. Personally if I despise a person or group of people I normally keep my distance and avoid them, but ultimately I still TRY to show respect because that's what Jesus tells us believers to do.
ReplyDeleteThere is not any groups that I know of but there are specific people that I do not associate myself with. But if there is someone that tries to talk to me that I do not like I show them the most respect I possibly can. Because of it is the right thing to do
ReplyDeleteThere isn't any groups of people that my relatives, friends, neighbors, and myself that would look on the way that the pharisee looked on the Samaritan because if i don't like a person i usually don't tell them just keep it to myself. But at the same time i don't try to make it seem like i don't like them.
ReplyDeleteI do not associate with anyone in my family or anybody that look at other people the way that the Pharisee looked at the Samaritan. If i know that they look upon people like that i would never talk to them, because how can you hate a person if you know nothing about him.

ReplyDeleteThere are not alot of my relatives, friends, neighbors would look on someone or a people the way the Pharisee looked down on the samaritan so I can't fully relate to the way the Pharisee looked at the samaritan because I have a lot people in my life that show love to everyone but I can some what relate to the Pharisee because sometimes If someone does something really bad to me I might hold a grudge against them and start to hate them and not give them a second chance to redeem themselves.
ReplyDeleteThere is no relative in my family that looked at someone the same way Pharisee looked at the Samaritan. But there was someone then I would think of them as a different person but not a lot. Just very little. But I can't judge a person because who am I to judge.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any association with anybody that looks down on people such as the way the Pharisees looked upon the Samaritans. I may have associated with them at some point but once I realized how they treated people I just left their presence. It didn't feel good to associate with them because it mad e me feel like I had some part of the mistreatment and I don't like it
ReplyDeleteI know people that look at other people like the pharasee looked at the Samaritan. Myself personally look at people equally no matter their race, or how they look. Same goes with my family and people that I'm close with. If we see something that we don't like we tend to just ignore it or keep going on with life. To ignore situations when you have bad intentions of saying something or if you're thinking the wrong way you just don't say anything and stay quiet.

ReplyDeleteI do associate myself with those who look down upon others much as the pharisee looked down upon the Samaritan. I say this because EVERYONE looks down upon each other, no matter whether they're trying to or not (if stated otherwise, that is a lie). I don't normally take any initiative unless it gets completely out of hand. No one wants to be that person that gets on everybody about everything. That isn't healthy.
