the Bible is SO outdated!


Read Luke 10: 25-37, in which Jesus tells of three men. Two of them had the job of guiding, teaching, and taking care of others. And yet, when they had the chance to help someone who was in trouble, they turned their backs on that person (probably because of possible personal risk). The third man was the cultural enemy of the one who needed help...and yet, this third man put himself out, put himself at risk, in order to help the hurt man.

Jesus made the point that we each have the responsibility of doing everything we can to help others, especially those who need mercy.

Even today, after thousands of years of Truth staring us in the face, we humans still have a problem showing each other compassion.

And people say the Bible is outdated, doesn't apply to today's world.

Have they read it?
