The Reformed Samaritan faith is based upon The Law, as given by God to our master Moses at the top of
Mount Sinai. And the nature of this Divine code is such that it gives it’s followers a clarity of mind that
naturally makes them “head”, instead of “tail” (leaders, instead of followers). As is written:
“And THE LORD SHALL MAKE THEE THE HEAD, AND NOT THE TAIL; and thou shalt be above only,
and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I
command thee this day, to observe and to do them”- Deuteronomy 28:13. Not only that, but God himself
promises that even the gentile (non Hebrew believing) nations of the World would recognize their wisdom.
As is written: «Keep therefore and do them; FOR THIS IS YOUR WISDOM AND YOUR
UNDERSTANDING IN THE SIGHT OF THE NATIONS, which shall hear all these statutes, and say,
“SURELY THIS GREAT NATION IS A WISE AND UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE!”»- Deuteronomy 4:6.
Thus, as soon as the Hebrew believer abandons God’s Law, he loses his intelligence, and can no longer tell
apart the left path, from the right path (the animal-like behavior, from the human-like behavior). As is
written: “… should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than SIXSCORE THOUSAND
PERSONS THAT CANNOT DISCERN BETWEEN THEIR RIGHT HAND AND THEIR LEFT
HAND...?”- Jonah 4:11.
In fact, the man who abandons God’s Law loses his wisdom, and can no longer tell apart good from evil;
thus, he ends up praising the wicked, currying their approval. As is written: “THEY THAT FORSAKE THE
LAW PRAISE THE WICKED: but such as keep the Law contend with them”- Proverbs 28:4.
But what is the precise nature of this Divine wisdom? How does it works? Well, the answer to this question is
surprisingly simple. You see, obedience to God’s commandments (do not steal, do not lie, do not murder,
keep the Sabbath, honor your parents, do not commit adultery, help the needy, do not oppress the weak, let
slaves go free, respect other people’s property, flee from corruption, etc) puts your mind in tune with the
Divine order of the Universe; with the universal law of “measure, for measure”; “sowing, and reaping”;
“cause, and effect”; “you reap, what you have sowed”; “what goes around, comes around”; “the tree, is
known by it’s fruit”, etc.
Thus, the Hebrew believer cannot be easily fooled by ideological smoke screens, theological sophism, logical
fallacies, nor crafty flattering techniques. Why? Because God’s Law has shaped his psyche, giving him a
“results oriented” mindset. Therefore, the seemingly unsolvable issues that so often mislead the gentile
mindset (Is homosexuality OK? Are men and women really equal? Is salvation achieved by faith?, Is Jesus
God? Is Muhammad God’s great last prophet?, Has the Law been abolished?, etc) are non issues for the
Hebrew believer.
Why? Because he instinctively knows that, no matter the name that is given to the issue, anything that push
him away from the Law [or tries to seduce him to deny what the Law commands], amounts to the worship of
a strange God. As is written: “Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey
the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: And A CURSE, IF YE WILL
NOT OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD YOUR GOD, but turn aside out of the way which I
command you this day, TO GO AFTER OTHER GODS, WHICH YE HAVE NOT KNOWN”- Deuteronomy
11:26-28.
