In the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25‑37), what is the central moral principle illustrated, and how could a modern Christian apply that principle when encountering online harassment?
Answer Options
A.
The lesson is about rewarding those who give gifts. In a digital context, a modern Christian could apply it by offering monetary rewards to users who post positive comments, ignoring the issue of harassment.
Correct Answer
B.
The parable teaches the principle of showing mercy to any neighbour in need. A modern Christian can apply it by actively standing against online harassment—reporting abuse, offering encouragement to the victim, and promoting respectful interaction—thus extending the Samaritan's compassion to the virtual world.
C.
The parable emphasizes the duty to obey religious law above all else. A modern Christian could apply this by strictly following church guidelines on internet use, avoiding any engagement with online content that is not explicitly approved by clergy.
D.
The central moral is that one should judge others based on their social status. Accordingly, a modern Christian might respond to online harassment by publicly shaming the harasser to demonstrate moral superiority.
