Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

Is Christian theology false? And, if so, does it mean the Holy One [blessed be He] has no use for it? 
When it comes to the religion each of us will eventually follow, there seems to be at play some sort of 
“natural selection process”; one where we do not seek absolute truth (as too much truth seem to be 
intimidating!) but rather the truth that will suit our personal needs and/or limitations. In the case of the noble 
Christian faith, the Jesus described in the gospels is portrayed as been extremely demanding: he demands that
we repent; he demands that we obey the ten sayings (or commandments); he demands that we obey the 
scribes and the pharisees; he demands that we abandon everything, in order to follow him; he demands that 
we give our treasures to the poor; he demands that we become servants of our fellow human beings; he 
demands that we love him so strongly that [in comparison] the love owed to our parents look like hatred; he 
demands that we pray without stopping; he demands that we dine only with the poor and the lame; he 
demands that we carry our own cross [in order to follow him], etc. Of course, in the eyes of the healthy, 
passionate, rich, and powerful Romans, such demands were simply intolerable. But, after Jesus death, it was 
the apostle Paul who took upon himself the task of spreading Christianity. So, instead of preaching the stern 
demands made by Jesus, Paul craftily chose to “photo-shop” Jesus original message, telling to his Greek [and
Roman] audience the exact opposite: that acquiring the treasure of everlasting life required no effort from 
their part, as it was a free gift from God. And since no one refuses a deal were he gets huge benefits with 
absolutely no responsibilities, Christianity suddenly started to sell like crazy. Please bear in mind that Jesus 
had promised his disciples that they would become “fishers of men”; so, Paul just took Jesus words “at face 
value”, and simply started to use his own convenient “bait” (salvation by faith!). Of course, we know the 
former is plain deception, as Scripture (Deuteronomy chapter 28) clearly states that blessings are reserved 
only for those who obey the commandments, while curses and suffering await those who turn away from 
them [and this might be the reason why, unlike the many instances were God delivered Israel from it’s 
national enemies, Christianity was never miraculously delivered from it’s national enemies]. Yet, in spite of 
it’s deceptive nature, Christian theology does seem to have a special place in God’s plan for non Hebrew 
nations. And such plan is portrayed in the Gibeonites- the Canaanite gentiles who used deception, in order to 
199


trick Israel into making peace with them. In the end, although their deceptive ways were publicly exposed, 
the Gibeonites were granted the supreme honor of becoming part of the daily Temple service (bringing the 
required water and wood). Why was the Gibeonite deception rewarded? Because Joshua recognized that, 
going thru with such an elaborate ruse, meant that the Gibeonites placed a high value on the life of their 
brothers and sisters- an idea that is at the heart of God’s service (the Hebrew sages acknowledged that the 
Law could be broken, if it meant saving a human life!). Curiously, Hebrew tradition (Sanhedrin 97a) 
acknowledges the paramount role to be played by the Christian religion: «Rabbi Isaac said: “The son of 
David will not come until the whole world is converted to the belief of the [Judeo-Christian] heretics”. Raba 
said: “What verse [proves this]?- ‘it is all turned white: he is clean’ (Lev. XIII, 13. This refers to leprosy: a 
white swelling is a symptom of uncleanliness; nevertheless, if the whole skin is so affected, it is declared 
clean. So here too; when all are heretics, it is a sign that the world is about to be purified by the advent of 
Messiah)”».
