I personally am tired of so many "believers" who take pride in their "belief" but are absolved from doing anything, on the premise that it will never be enough.
I don't know what bible you use but mine says nothing about believers and a Samaritan...I'm thinking you just want to mock those of us who say we are believers by trying to connect us with those who left the guy lying on the road...

So we believes should be more like you and this guy???
uk 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
Luk 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
Luk 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
So there...Ya get a little scripture and a little dialogue...Plenty of room for discussion...
Nothing we can do will ever be *enough*. That's why Jesus had to die.
One sin damns us and the wages of sin is death, a debt we cannot pay by our works.
If we lives an otherwise perfect life except for that one sin, without forgiveness through the death of Jesus we would still go to hell.
We cannot redeem ourselves and cannot do it by our works.
Do you understand the purpose of works in the life of the Christian, the saved person?
