Govt. a minister of God regarding Christians being Non Violent

A Neighbour in Scriptures is not someone who lives next door to you.
A Neighbour is someone who attends a church, they are not a member, but a neighbour to those who belong to the church.

Thanks FoC, but I think you forgot to quote the scripture that states neighbors are restricted to those who attend your church.

Also, I suggest you look up the Greek word plesíos as well as the Hebrew rey'akha, since plesíos was the word chosen by the Spirit to translate Jesus' meaning of the word "neighbor".

You may also want to look up the Targum Onkelos (Aramaic version of the Pentateuch) which does not render rey'akha as neighbor but as ḥavrakh or "friend."

Does this mean the Jews understood Leviticus 19:18 to only mean "friend"?

No, because the Aramaic havrakh and the Hebrew haver can also mean "fellow man".

Those who are members of the church are brother's and sisters.
The neighbour is a person who attends the church, but is not a brother or sister, when the neighbour becomes a member of the church, then they become a brother and sister of the church.

Again, I would need to see the scripture your are deriving this from.

The Samaritans worship the same God as did Israel and kept the things that were of God. The Samaritans were not of Israel, But the Samaritans were the good Neighbour to Israel.

The Samaritans are Jews and considered to be a branch of Judaism:

Shulamit Sela, The Head of the Rabbanite, Karaite and Samaritan Jews: On the History of a Title, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, Vol. 57, No. 2 (1994), pp. 255–267

You cannot separate Israel from the Jews.

I have people who live next to me, They don't believe in God as I do, Therefore they are not my Neighbour. My Neighbour is those who believe in the God as I do.

Did Jesus imply it was the Jew who believed as the traveler did that was the neighbor, or did he imply it was the person that helped him most on the road?

Jesus did not claim it was only those who believe in God as we do that are our "neighbors". I'm not understanding how you could possibly read that into the account. The whole point of the parable was to show that common brand of Rabbinic thinking was not the case!

Say like a person who attends a Baptist Church and a person who attends the church of Christ, they are Neighbour's to each other.

The Baptist church and church of Christ do not believe the same as you do, otherwise they would not be separate churches. By the definition you just gave me above, they are not your neighbors.

Remember, you stated a neighbor "is someone who attends a church, they are not a member, but a neighbour to those who belong to the church."

If the Baptist are "church members" then they can't be neighbors according to your definition. Ditto for "Church of Christ".

You need to understand what a Neighbour is according to the bible, scriptures. And not just someone who lives next door to you. Your Neighbour is a person who believes in God like you do.

I'm not aware of any major Christian church that claims this is the true meaning of the parable and certainly none from Messianic Jews.

Jesus was chastising the meaning the Rabbis had placed into the word "neighbor". He showed, by the parable, it was not those who went to the same church or temple (like the Priest and Levite) who were your neighbor, but it could also be the one you thought your enemy, like the Samaritan.

This is why Jesus said during his Sermon on the Mount:

“You have heard it said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy,’ but I say to you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you.”

In any event, I think we are venturing off thread theme.

The purpose of the Old and the New Testaments are designed to lead us to Christ but I would agree that there are distinct differences in approach. The Old is foundational and the New builds on that foundation. For instance, the Old Testament shows us God's wrath against sin with glimpses of His grace and mercy, whilst the New Testament shows us God's grace and mercy with glimpses of His wrath against sin.

I agree with you and this is the purpose of the OT, it's foundational to Christians and leads us to Christ. The OT helps to explain Jesus and the NT.
