Christ meant what He said in John 14:6 goodsamaritan.txtthread
Jesus does show in this parable that it is the content and character of a man\'s heart that is important to God. But to say that there will be those who will go to heaven without Christ as their Savior is a misunderstanding of this parable. Jesus is showing that no matter what amount of religion a person seems to have, as in the case of the priest who passed the beggers by, that a person will not be saved by religious acts but will be judged by our heart and the actions that ultimately come forth from it. Jesus is very clear (if one really does believe in the authenticity of scripture) in John 14:6 - \"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, noone comes to the Father except through Me\" Either believe Christ or don\'t, but do not twist His words to make any unacceptable religion ok in your own eyes.
