Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

All things holy come from God 
Hebrew Scripture states two things that, at first glance, seem to be at odds with one another: “… 
neither 
have [you] done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you
”- Ezekiel 5:7; “… 
but [you] 
have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you
”- Ezekiel 11:12 (JPS, Bible, 1917 
Edition). 
What does it mean? It means the Holy One (blessed be He) expected Israel to be wise enough to understand 
that all things holy come from Him: A noble Zoroastrian principle, A wise Jewish Midrash, a morally deep 
Samaritan interpretation, an inspiring Christian song, a modest and decent Muslim attire… if it makes you 
kinder, holier, more just, more merciful, and more humble, you can be assured it springs from the God of 
Israel. 
Thus, Israel should have learned the noble ordinances pertaining to their non Hebrew neighbors. Yet, as they 
learned instead the bad ones, God had to rebuke His people’s stubbornness. 
We don’t see God as He is; we see Him as we are 
The inner spirit of God’s Law (“sowing and reaping”) is of such a peculiar nature, that your portrait of the 
Creator will always be a reflection of your own virtues and/or vices. Thus, if you happen to be a wise and 
noble person, you will see the image of a wise and noble God. But if you are instead uncouth, vulgar, and 
immoral, you will perceive the Creator as an uncouth, vulgar and immoral being. As is written: “
With the 
merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; With the 
203


pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward
”- Psalm 18:25-26 
(King James Bible) 
«Beware of desk experts! Why? Because life will eventually teach you that, in theory, there’s no difference
between theory and practice; but, in practice, there is indeed a great difference»
