Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

What exactly is Reformed Samaritanism? 
In the most general sense, Reformed Samaritanism is plain old “Ethical Monotheism”; in other words, the 
belief in the existence of a Supreme “Power” [or “God”], who is morally just; rewarding those who do 
goodness, while punishing those who do evil. And, from a historical standpoint, Reformed Samaritanism is 
321


merely a particular flavor of the Hebrew faith practiced by the ancient Samaritan people (in other words, by 
the citizens of Samaria, the capital of Israel’s northern kingdom) two centuries before the exile of the 
southern kingdom of Judah (an exile that eventually gave rise to modern “Talmudic Judaism”). 
And, just as it happened with our spiritual fathers, our main focus is the pursuit of the ethical lifestyle 
(holiness, faith, truthfulness, transparency, honesty, dignity, justice, mercy, and humility) implicitly taught to 
all mankind by each and every single story [and allegory] recorded in God’s Holy Torah (God’s Law) by 
Moshe Ravenu (our master Moses); and whose aim is to teach us that, regardless of our religious [or secular] 
principles, God’s Universe has been designed to fulfill God’s perfect justice, so that [in the end] we will all 
reap the same measure of goodness [or evil] we’ve freely and willingly bestowed upon those surrounding us 
(law of “sowing and reaping”, also known as “measure for measure” or “action and reaction”). 
What does Reformed Samaritanism means when it says God is “One”? 
God's law (or "Torah") states that God is “One” ("Listen, Israel: 
The Lord our God, the Lord is one
"- 
Deuteronomy 6:4, Christian Standard Bible). But, what does it mean? In other words, why can’t I say: “Ok, 
God is One, I am Two, and the planet Saturn is three...”. 
Well, the reason we can’t properly say such a thing is that Hebrew Scripture hints at the idea that nothing “is”
[or “exists’] outside of God. In other words, God is the One and only real existence; and all other forms of 
existence are “appended” to God’s unique existence. And that’s the reason why ancient Hebrew believers 
didn't conceived their heavenly father to be just the Hebrew equivalent of the pagan Zeus [a human-like 
being, only with supernatural powers]. Rather, they view Him as the Supreme living, limitless, and infinite 
place (“Ein sof” and “Ha-makom”) where everything else resides. 
And it goes without saying that, being the absolute infinite spanning everything else, God cannot [by 
definition] be part of anything greater (or separated) from Himself, as otherwise He wouldn’t be the One 
thing containing [within itself] everything else. 
Science [and for that sake, any sort of public information] is often craftily biased by powerful external
interests. Thus, if your acceptance [or rejection] of any public information poses a risk of stumbling, make
sure that you stumble “on the safe side”; in other words, that your decision let's you fail in favor of your own
moral and personal integrity (on the side of truthfulness, dignity, honor, integrity, justice, mercy, and
humility]; and not in favor of the hidden agenda of any social, economical, political, or religious
establishment
