Who Is Your Neighbor ? (Before continuing read in your own Bible Luke 10:25-37)

In Luke 10:29 Jesus Christ was asked, “Who is my neighbor?” Many Christians have been given the wrong answer to the question, “Who is my neighbor?” If we as Christians, cleave unto and associate with, and give aid and comfort to those who injure and hurt Christians, then what are we doing? Are we walking in light or are we walking in darkness? Can we claim to love “the brethren” and our neighbor and at the same time love non-Christians who hate and injure our people. Have “they”* tricked us into loving the wrong peo ple, in a way that often hurts our real neighbor. Many Bible verses have both positive and negative teach ings. Let’s look at the other side of Luke 10:25-37.

* In this lesson the word “they” has special meaning. This is explained later.

(6) In Luke 10:25-37: Were the thieves neighbor?

( ) Yes. ( ) Yes. ( ) Yes. ( ) Yes.

( ) No. ( ) No. ( ) No. ( ) No.

Was the priest neighbor? Was the Levite neighbor? Was the Samaritan neighbor?

(7) Therefore, are all men our neighbors?

( )Yes. ( )No.

Like the word “neighbor,” we also need to know who are our “brethren.” All through the New Testament we are told to “love the brethren.” Likewise, “they” use a misunderstanding of the words brethren and broth er to promote false doctrine. (8) America is being flooded with an invasion of aliens. They tell us that we should welcome these people because they are our poor brethren. Are they our brethren? Who does the Bible call brethren? According to Matthew 12:46-50, in the church; our brethren are

“Whosoever __________________________________________________________________________________

(9) Deuteronomy 17 may be quoted to offer proof that all men are not brothers because verse 15 says some

men are __ __ __ our brothers.
