Jesus does state explicitly but people continue to be offended by his message and insist there are multiple paths deapite what he told us.

No one is offended by Jesus...

Some of his followers certainly...

Hard to understand that all paths lead to God and His judgement... Really?

Jesus praised the Samaritan for his actions, not his faith, right?

We can and are to judge what is sin and what is not.

The parable is not so superficial. It has a much deeper meaning. It is significant that it was a lawyer questioning Jesus - a legalist who was not really sincere with his question. One of the lessons is you can’t save yourself by following the law - performing the action. That we all fall short and need a Savior.

There’s much more to it than that. But the point is its not a simple tale about being kind to a stranger.

Many are offended by Jesus. He is “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense” for many. They don’t want to accept all of his message. Just the comfortable parts.

Everyone is judged but there is only one path to salvation. Not many. That is one message that offends most people.

We have very different ideas about Jesus...

Although I agree concerning only wanting to accept the comfortable parts... Few people want to truly dive into the Bible and face its t***hs...

No... We are not to judge sin...

Only recognize it...

Judgement is for God alone...

You are wrong and I will leave it to you to find out why. And without judgement one can’t know what is sin. We can judge sin but not condemn.

24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” John 7 (just one example)

Like John 1, “many are called, few are chosen” and , “I am the way, and the t***h, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.“ Just a few examples.

Perhaps. I see it to mean be righteous, not religious. What does it take to be righteous? Love, not law. That is the complete and full message. Christ is nothing more than the spirit and breath and hands of love.

That's wrong. Viola!
1 John 2:29 ESV / 247 helpful v**es
If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

1 John 3:7 ESV / 244 helpful v**es
Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous.
Romans 5:1-5 ESV / 229 helpful v**es
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Psalm 106:3 ESV / 204 helpful v**es
Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!

This to name a few of over forty passages about being righteous.

Absolutely...
I view this as discernment...
Not judgement...

The point is no one is righteous without Jesus.
