Thanks for the info however if you read the balance of the scripture i quoted the context will be clear. Remember though that it was this woman that asked him about a religious problem of that day. She said in verse 5 “Sir, I perceive you are a prophet. Our forefathers worshiped in this mountain; but you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where persons ought to worship.”—John 4:1-20.

Jesus answered with the scripture i previously quoted and continued in verse 22 with the following words "Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him. God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth.” (John 4:22-24)

How are we to understand those words?

2 The Samaritans had false religious views. They accepted as inspired only the first five books of the Holy Scriptures—and these just in their own recension, called the Samaritan Pentateuch. Whereas the Samaritans did not really know God, the Jews had been entrusted with Scriptural knowledge. (Romans 3:1,2)

How she answers sheds further light on the context.

"The woman said to him: “I know that Mes·siah is coming, who is called Christ. Whenever that one arrives, he will declare all things to us openly.” 26Jesus said to her: “I who am speaking to you am he.”


[QUOTE=SANguru]wow.. wait a minute barry.. let's not take it out of context. The scripture was referring to the woman who was pretty "worshipping" physical needs (sex, water, etc) It has NOTHING in this context to state not accepting/persecuting other religions.

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
