This was precisely where the Samaritan people erred; they sought to worship both God and idols (2 Kings 17:28-41), and this is reaffirmed by the Lord Jesus Christ when He discourses on the subject of true worship with the Samaritan woman who came to fetch water from the well. “You Samaritans worship what you do not know” (John 4:22).
Ito mismo ang dahilan kung bakit nagkamali ang mga Samaritano; inibig nilang sambahin ng sabay ang Diyos at diyus diyusan (2 hari 17:28-41), at ito ay muling pinatunayan ng Panginoong Hesus ng magturo Siya tungkol sa paksa ng tunay na pagsamba sa isang Samaritana na dumating upang umigib ng tubig mula sa balon. Hindi ninyo nakikilala ang inyong sinasamba (Juan 4:22).
