So how do you account for the fact that when Jesus was asked: 'Who is my neighbour?' He replied with the parable of the good Samaritan?
Now that i have your attention, lets get to the underlying "philosophy" of this parable to drive the point Jesus was making home.
The entire line of conversation started off as a test (trap) by a legalist for the sole purpose of exposing some weakness of Jesus or His talk.
Jesus knew this and responded in kind.
The trap started with "who" is this "fellow' ( as in fellowship, friend, insert whatever term for a close relationship you feel like)
Jesus used his own example against him
Jesus made a "generic person" but pointed out a common route indicating a local (countryman by citizenship of the area which would make him a "Jew" by the definition of the day)- He then points out his garments gone (could not discern his nationality or status)
The "priest" ( one who should care) avoids him. The Levite (direct tie to the Kingdom of Judea) ignored him as well.
Yet they were literally "blood kin" but just didn't know it
The Samaritan ( also of Israel but of the remaining tribes and also didn't know this guy was a blood kin) comes by and didn't look at the person but the condition and gave both of his time,effort and money. ( mercy et al)
Jesus made the example you cannot outwardly judge who "is" your neighbor ( defined by blood or citizenship or other close relationship) and when the situation arises its a true character check.
Notice Jesus' carefully chosen words "who was his true NEIGHBOR" ( Jesus didnt focus on the "love' or mercy" because that wasn't the trap)
It was then Jesus said "do likewise"
So we are to treat all people as we would like to be treated (sound familiar?)
Jesus clearly shot down the entire elitist "superior mindset" with those who avoided their "kin" ( a deliberate but subtle insult)
None of that says or means to go out and just "love" everyone like a 60's hippy camp.
Read scripture for what it says and in context with the theme the message is written in- not what you would like it to say to fit a personal viewpoint.
