Jesus was also very clear that we should welcome the poor and sick into our midst, even if they’re foreign.
Also, of we’re quoting the NT there’s plenty of things pp forgot to cite. Like this one just for starters: "in Christ there is neither slave nor free" (Galatians 3:28)
I haven’t been here in a while and it’s clear knowledgeable Christians aren’t bothering with the haters and trolls. And MAGATs don’t want to see what Jesus actually said. That’s too bad, because it’s a chance to educate and clarify.
You can not believe in Jesus and still be a good person.
That's literally the point of the parable.

And you can believe in Jesus and be a bad person.
