Martin: Since Jesus said that God alone is good, it follows that the Samaritan is not good.
Calvinistic dogma is right there beside Jesus.

Peter: You now don't even pretend to address any of the points I made do you?

Martin: Peter
I addressed every one. You, however, do not understand the parable, its point was to answer the question "who is my neighbour". As I pointed out, Jesus never calls the Samaritan good.

Peter: Jesus said someone who wasn't a believer could do good. He held his behaviour up as an example to believers. A non believer put into practice the command to love your neighbour. Nothing to do with his faith or his being predestined to believe or do good. You are claiming that's in line with Calvinist theology? Right.

Martin: Irrelevant. That men do 'good deeds' is no problem, they just aren't good and their motives are wrong.
