The Neighbor and the Good Samaritan

This article says it well. I would argue that Matt 5 and Gal 6:10 are about the covenant community, but other than that he did a good job explaining the issue. I would just add that the blindness of those commenting stems not from peer pressure or political correctness but an unquestioned assumption of Enlightenment ethics that have formed a tradition around these verses so that the contexts are never considered. http://www.affinity.org.uk/foundations-issues/issue-61-article-2---so-who-is-my-neighbour
