When one church brands another a cult, the
accusation usually creates long-standing
bitterness.
The Samaritins and the Jews felt that way
about each other.
Samaritin religion closely resembled Judaism,
but on key issues its followers had gone thier
own way. They accepted only the firs five books
of the old Testament and insisted that Mount
Gerizim, not Jerusalem, was the proper place
to worshp God.
Though Jews and Samaritins usually avoided
each other, Jesus reached accross these
barriers.
I wish we could all learn something from this,
so many of us are so busy judging each other
that we forget what Jesus has taught us in his time
on earth.
May God Bless All who live by these
principles and put them to practice.
