Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

Salvation by Law, versus Salvation by faith-- The wise man will always seek to find the healthy balance
between extreme [and opposing] perspectives 
Christianity is a great religion; a valid means to serve and worship the God of Abraham. But the core of 
Christian theology hinges upon a questionable idea; a concept initially proposed by the apostle Paul (may 
peace be upon him): That, unless he can perfectly obey it, the Israelite who lives in submission to God’s Law 
is an accursed man; as the Law can never justify, but only condemn him. As is written: 
“For all who rely on the works of the Law are under a curse, because it is written, 
everyone who does not do 
everything written in the book of the Law is cursed
”- Galatians 3:10, Christian Standard Bible. 
What’s the problem with this otherwise logical argument? Well, there’s no problem at all with it... aside form 
the fact that it is a text book case of the wise proverb that goes on to say: “
A text, out of context, is a 
pretext
”. In other words, to arbitrarily take an isolated bible verse, and pretend to turn it into a whole 
theological system is utter folly. Why? Simply because such nonsense would allow you to prove almost 
anything you might wish! 
Consider the following example: If we were to do as Paul did above, we could easily justify the opposite 
claim (that the Israelite who lives under the Law is actually a blessed man!). And, in order to prove our point 
we would be able to quote the verse where [while still living under the Law] God himself sates that Israel is a
blessed people. 
As is written: “
And God said
unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; 
thou shalt not curse the people [of 
Israel]: for they are blessed
”- Numbers 22:12, KJB. 
How do we find which one of the former extreme [and mutually excluding] interpretations is the correct one?
We do so by remembering that Scripture hints at the idea that, in all things, we must strive to find the healthy 
balance. As is written: 
“Keep worthless speech and lies far from me.
