"I don't recall Him saying to the Samaritan woman "continue to live with the mam who is not your husband.  it's Okay..."  Jesus did SEND her as an apostle to the people of her town.  She did speak to them, and got them to come out to hear Jesus. Of course she was a heroine.  Jesus came for people like her.  She may have become a great disciple of Christianity, perhaps along with her  fifthth husband---maybe even the other four.


Apparently you have forgotten the many times that Jesus referred to Samaritans in a positive manner.  What about the parable of the Good Samaritan?
