If your asking and/or inferring if the priest and the Levite were so spiritually minded they were no earthly good the answer is a resounding NO! Neither showed any hint of being spiritually minded. Steve |

Hi Brother: My feelings on the question, the way you asked it would be a resounding YES ! I have to also assume that you were talking about the Priest, and the Levite. The quote you used, I believe could be understood this way, in relation to them. They were living by the LETTER of the LAW, not by the SPIRIT of the LAW. Being devout, they were probably worried that they might get BLOOD on them, and then they would be defiled, they would then have to go through days of sepperation, followed by ritual baths, for clensing. The positions they held, would have made it impossable for them to conduct their daily buisness. Soooo, now we come to the Smaritan, as far as the blood was concerned, it didnt bother him, because according to the Jews, he was already unclean. Im sure he wasnt thinking that when he helped the person, that was beaten. He just reacted as a person that kept the LAW in his heart, thus becoming a Law unto himself, by doing unto others as he would have done unto himself. Being uneducated, in heavenly things, as the Priest, and the Levite were, he acted righteously. In conclusion, they had so much learning, on the spiritual, that they could, or would not do those things we should do as mere men. " They were so spiritually minded, they were of no earthly good " |

I would encourage you to read the passage in context and drop the many assumptions. Take a look again starting at verse 25. Using your assumptions you have attributed to them you have defeated your own argument. What you have done is painted a picture of someone who is solely concerned with themselves. So how is it then you find them to be spiritually minded? Did not their actions contradict the law? Did not their actions contradict what the Lord was pointing out in the parable? Of course they did! Even your own reasoning indicate the Priest and the Levite only had an intellectual understanding of the law and no spiritual understanding. I know your intent was not to present it as such but none the less, the text of scripture and even your reasoning show just the opposite. Steve |

HI STEVE: Yes there were some assumptions made, the way the question was asked, it was a light hearted answer, to a light hearted question, no harm, no foul. The answer was written in such a way, as to give some information, and possibly make it a little more enjoyable in trying to understand why the Priest, and the Levite didnt help in the first place. I dont believe I have contradicted myself in any way. If you cant see how they were so spiritually minded, then think about this for a moment, they were, a Priest, and a Levite. Teachers of the Law, studying all the time to find themselvs worthy. Making sure every Jot, every Tittle was in place. But they were not awair of the Love, Compassion,Charity,of God in his Law. They were only awair of the LETTER of the Law. Thats the point I made! I can take from the assumption you made, that you couldn't give any reasion why they didnt't help, you only gave a resounding NO. In your mind they weren't spiritually minded at all. They were a Priest, and a Levite, they sure should be spiritually minded, they were the ones that the people looked to for guidence. The quote that was used for the question, "They were so spiritually minded they were no earthly good " is what is called a back handed compliment. The quote itself, conceeds the spirituality of the Priest, and the Levite. |

"They were a Priest, and a Levite, they sure should be spiritually minded" Scripture gives a different picture in this account. "The quote that was used for the question, "They were so spiritually minded they were no earthly good " is what is called a back handed compliment. The quote itself, conceeds the spirituality of the Priest, and the Levite." The quote concedes a worldly view not a biblical view. In light of scripture, what do you make of the quote? Matthew 6:33 (KJV) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. "I can take from the assumption you made, that you couldn't give any reasion why they didnt't help, you only gave a resounding NO. In your mind they weren't spiritually minded at all. " Luke 10:25-37 (NASB) 10:25 And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" 10:26 And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?" 10:27 And he answered, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." 10:28 And He said to him, "You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE." 10:29 But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 10:30 Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. 10:31 "And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 10:32 "Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 10:33 "But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, 10:34 and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 10:35 "On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.' 10:36 "Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?" 10:37 And he said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same." Steve |
