JUDGE SCHMUDE IS RIGHT
I concur with
Judge Schmude, as we put politics aside for a moment, Phillip Paul Bryant, and his brother Prince Bryant are indeed worthy of recognition for the good deed they've just performed. And to this end, I consider both these guys, along with all the fine folks who made this event a success
“GOOD SAMARITANS”. And, I would also like to take this moment to implore every warm-blooded American to come to the realization that there are good, honorable, God-fearing people on both sides of the aisle.
WHAT IS A GOOD SAMARITAN?
Are you wondering what it means to be a good Samaritan? If so, here's the best definition I could find. In case you're wondering, I found
"The Parable of the Good Samaritan" in the book of Luke, Chapter 10, in verses 25 through 37 in the New International Version of the Bible.
LUKE 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?”
LUKE 26:
“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
LUKE 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’[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”
LUKE 28:
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
LUKE 29:
But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
LUKE 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 denarii[c] and 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.’
LUKE 36:
“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
LUKE 37:
The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
