Neighbor or neighbour either one     Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbour to him who fell among the robbers  He said He who showed mercy on him  This passage seems to suggest the Samaritan was the neighbor while the other two were not  The sentence love thy neighbor as thyself seems then to imply he the victim of robbers need only love the Samaritan and not the other  and similarly since they were not the the victims neighbor did not have to love the victim  Then we are to love only those people who are neighbors to us I dont mean physical neighbors not everyone  Although true it does not say do not love those who are not your neighbors but it doesnt say to love them either
