Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

The reason why it would be morally wrong for a Jew to sponsor the concept of “Political Correctness” 
Hebrew Scripture states that Jehoshaphat (Josafat) was the greatest Jew of his day, as he was the King of 
Judah. In addition, Jehoshaphat was a godly man, who feared the God of Israel. On the other hand, Ahab was
the greatest Israelite of his time, as he was King of Israel. But, despite being an Israelite, Ahab was a 
stubborn and wicked man, who despised the words of the God of Israel. 
One day, king Jehoshaphat decided to embrace the sweet and seductive concept of “equality” (an idea 
currently known as “egalitarianism”). And, armed with such idea, Jehoshaphat decided to make common 
cause with Ahab. As it is written: «And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah: “Will you 
come with me against Ramoth Gilead?” AND HE (JOSAFAT) ANSWERED: “I AM LIKE YOU, AND MY 
PEOPLE LIKE YOUR PEOPLE; WE WILL GO WITH YOU TO WAR”- 2 Chronicles 18:3». 
Unfortunately, Jehoshaphat did not understand that Ahab's rebellion placed the latter under Divine judgment; 
and that such judgment could dangerously spill over those surrounding Ahab. And this is the reason why 
Jehoshaphat almost lost his life in battle. As it is written: «WHEN THE CAPTAINS OF THE CHARIOTS 
SAW JOSAFAT, THEY SAID, “THIS IS THE KING OF ISRAEL”. AND THEY SURROUNDED HIM TO 
FIGHT; but Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yah helped him, and God separated them from him»- 2 Chronicles 
18:31. 
What does it mean? It means that The Lord doesn’t want the pious person to stand by the side of the wicked 
individual [thereby “strengthening the hands of the latter”]. Who is wicked? He who openly rebels against 
the will of his Creator. 
By the same token, God doesn’t want the righteous Hebrew believer to lend unconditional support to he who 
[while calling himself to be “a Hebrew”] pursues a life of open rebelliousness; thinking that the mere fact of 
calling himself “a Jew” entitles him to receive “all the benefits of being part of God’s people, while none of 
the corresponding responsibilities”. 
And this is why “the seer” (prophet Jehu) is quoted rebuking King Jehoshaphat: «And Jehu the son of Hanani
the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, “SHOULDEST THOU HELP THE UNGODLY,
AND LOVE THEM THAT HATE THE LORD? THEREFORE IS WRATH UPON THEE FROM BEFORE 
THE LORD”»-2 Chronicles 19:2, King James Bible. 
Scripture teaches that Jehoshaphat learned his lesson, as he eventually exhorted the leaders of Judah to 
proceed with integrity, admonishing both Jews and Israelites to do justice, so that they would not sin against 
Yah [thus preventing God's wrath from coming upon them]. As it is written: “And what cause soever shall 
come to you of your brethren that dwell in your cities, between blood and blood, between law and 
100


commandment, statutes and judgments, YE SHALL EVEN WARN THEM THAT THEY TRESPASS NOT 
AGAINST THE LORD, AND SO WRATH COME UPON YOU, AND UPON YOUR BRETHREN: this do, 
and ye shall not trespass [by omission]”- 2 Chronicles 19:10, King James Version. 
The fact is that, the observant Hebrew believer cannot fall into the trap of “political correctness”, an ideology
that prevents him from saying [or doing] anything that might offend other people. Instead, the correct attitude
must be one where he is free to admonish anyone who, calling himself a Jew, lives a life in open rebellion 
against the Divine Law. As it is written: “Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: THOU SHALT 
SURELY REBUKE THY NEIGHBOR, AND NOT BEAR SIN BECAUSE OF HIM”- Leviticus 19:17, 
American Standard Version. 
And it also says: “WHEN I SAY UNTO THE WICKED, THOU SHALT SURELY DIE; AND THOU 
GIVEST HIM NOT WARNING, NOR SPEAKEST TO WARN THE WICKED FROM HIS WICKED WAY, 
TO SAVE HIS LIFE; THE SAME WICKED MAN SHALL DIE IN HIS INIQUITY; BUT HIS BLOOD 
WILL I REQUIRE AT THINE HAND”-Ezekiel 3:18, King James Version. 
Thus, the reason why it would be morally wrong for a Jew to sponsor the concept of “Political Correctness” 
is that the God of Israel doesn’t condone the open rebellion of any man, whether he be a Jew or a Gentile. 
Hebrew Bible hints at the idea that repentance itself is the true redeeming Messiah; so that, as soon as
someone turns you away from wickedness, his redeemer has arrived. As is written: “And the Redeemer shall
come to Zion [to whom will the Redeemer come?]… unto them that turn [in sincere repentance] from
transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord”- Isaiah 59:20 (King James version). In other words, the moment
either Moses, Jesus, Muhammad or any other person [or thing] successfully turns you away from
wickedness, in that moment such person [or thing] becomes your personal Messiah
