198. Modern day Samaritans are not Jewish
Edited on Mon Sep-19-11 05:37 AM by oberliner
They say they are not Jewish, so they are not Jewish.

You asked me to name some differences, so I did, but I don't think that is as important as the several references I have provided where Samaritans say they are not Jewish.

I defer to them to define their own faith and religious identity.

I leave you with a passage from John (4/9)

The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.
