Comments by "nozrep" (@nozrep) on "Who Are the Samaritans?" video.

  1. growing up in a “Southern Baptist” church we were always taught that the Samaritans in the Bible were like, mixed families of Jews and Gentiles that had retained Jewish religion, and because they were not not “pure blood” Jews, that was the reason why ancient Jews were racist against them. I dunno how accurate that is but this video is fascinating. Anyways, the teaching was always taught alongside the parable of the Good Samaritan where Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan being merciful to the mugged and beaten man while others ignored him and walked by and continued on. Thereby, the parable’s and Jesus’s illustration of how we as Christians should act towards all strangers or even people we do not agree with religiously and philosophically.

  3. as a “gentile” Christian who has always been curious about the socalled modern “Messianic Jews” who have converted to Christianity and recognize our true Messiah in Jesus Christ, I am now also curious if there are any “Samaritan” Messianic Jews out there who are also totally reconciled with their Messianic Jewish brothers and sisters in Christ. Now there’s a super, super niche area of modern Christianity to explore
