A Question (not A Quizz) On Jews And Samaritans by Nobody: 8:44pm On May 08, 2012 |
I was meditating (on "worship in spirit and truth" ) when I came across the story of Jesus and the woman at the well; what's the cause of the hatred between Jews and Samaritans? |

The samaritans are also Israelites but their ancestors began to worship other Gods in the Old testament hence the dislike of the Jews for them. |

Docjay487: The Samaritans were a group of displaced Gentiles who lived in the area of central Palestine. They were originally idolatrous and burnt their children in the fire (2 Kings 17:31). The Samaritans who were mostly of Gentile background with a mixture of Israeli blood who had become adherents of a quasi-Jewish religion that was also part pagan. They were also Israelites who had inter-married with local pagan tribes and were seen as semi-Jews. The Jews hated them and would have no dealings with them (John 4:9). Samaritans today are what I would call the "Christians" who have married the pagan ideologies with biblical doctrines and thereby have become quasi-Christians. |
