Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

How to know if the religion we follow pleases the Creator or not?
In what sense are most modern versions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam “pagan”? Well, in that “they 
strain out the mosquito, but swallow the camel”. As it is written: “Woe to you…because you tithe mint and 
dill and cumin, and leave the most important…. justice, mercy and faith... Blind guides, who strain out the 
gnat and swallow the camel!”- Matthew 23:23-24.
In other words, my religion is pagan if it’s emphasis is not on what matters most to the Creator (that we live 
the ethical and moral lifestyle that pleases Him), but on what the latter considers to be of secondary 
importance (to have “the right theology”, although this doesn’t translate into a life of love and holiness).
And why does God want us to live an ethical and moral lifestyle [of justice and mercy]? Well, because if 
there’s something the Eternal wants us to glory upon, it isn’t knowing what the identity of the Messiah is, nor
in knowing which religious organization has the most precise theology; it is instead to understand that the 
Most High wants men to live a life of justice, mercy, and humility.
As it is written: “But let him who should praise himself praise himself in this: in understanding me and 
knowing me, that I am הוהי (Adonai), who do mercy, judgment and justice on earth; because these things I 
want [men to do], says הוהי ”- Jeremiah 9:24.
And as it is also said in another place: “O man, He has declared to you what is good, and what does הוהי ask 
of you? Only to do justice, and to love [to do] mercy, and to humble yourself before your God”- Micah 6:8.
And finally says, “He judged [with mercy and justice] the cause of the afflicted and needy, and then he was 
well. Isn't this knowing me? says הוהי”- Jeremiah 22:16.
And that the purpose of God’s Law is that we live the ethical and moral lifestyle that arises from our love of 
God and our neighbor, is also taught in the Christian writings, when they go on to say: «... What is the great 
commandment in the Law? Jesus told him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with 
all your soul, and with all your mind”. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is similar: 
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself”. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the 
prophets”- Matthew 22:36-40….
… “And if I had prophecy, and understood all [theological] mysteries…and I have no love, I am nothing”- 1 
Corinthians 13:2…
… “For: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false 
witness, you shall not covet, and any other commandment, in this sentence is summed up: ‘You shall love 
your neighbor as yourself’. Love does not harm the neighbor; therefore, the fulfillment of the Law is love”- 
Romans 13:9-10…
… “If you know that He is righteous, know also that everyone who does justice is born of Him”- 1 John 
2:29… “In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifested: everyone who does not do 
justice, and who does not love his brother, is not of God... We know that we have passed from death to life, in
that we love the brothers. He who does not love his brother remains in death”- 1 John 3:10 & 14.
