Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

Faith in Jesus can be a good thing, as long as you don’t assume that every word attributed to him was 
meant to be understood in a strict Literal Sense 
Faith in Jesus can definitely lead a man toward repentance, thereby bringing salvation upon him. But as for 
the claim made by the gospel concerning Jesus being “the way, the truth and, the life...”, we humbly advice 
caution. 
Why? Well, in the first place, because Bible states Moses went up to the Heavenly Father [atop Mount Sinai],
and spoke to him face to face without having any need of Jesus assistance («YHVH said to Moses, “Come up
to me on the mountain and stay there”… YHVH would speak with Moses face to face, just as a man speaks 
with his friend, then Moses would return to the camp»- Exodus 24:12, & 33:11). 
Secondly, Jesus himself never wrote anything (so later gospel writers could simply have felt tempted to quote
him uttering words he never really said). Lastly, even if Jesus did say those words, maybe he didn’t mean 
them to be taken in a strict literal sense. 
For example, only six verses after claiming to be “the way, the truth, and the Life”, Jesus proceeds to claim 
that, he who believes in Him, would do greater miracles than he (“Truly I tell you, the one who believes in 
me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the 
Father”- John 14:12). 
Should the former verse be understood in a strict literal sense? If so, then ask yourself: Do all of your 
Christian friends turn water into wine? Can they all heal the sick? Can they all bring back to life a 4 days old 
[rotten] cadaver? Can they all multiple the bread? Can they all walk upon water? Do they all come back to 
life 3 days after their physical death? Have they all be taken to heaven in the presence of 500 witnesses? 
Which one is greater? Jesus?, or Moses? 
Curiously, the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (Jesus) is just a slightly different version of the Hebrew name
“Yehoshua” (Joshua). But, why would the Holy One [blessed be He] allow this to be so? In order to hint at
360


the idea that, just as Yehoshua was inferior to Moses [the latter being a symbol of God's Law, to which we
must all be permanently subjected], so too was Yeshua inferior to Moses [and therefore subject to him]. 
And from whence do we get that Yehoshua (Joshua) was inferior to Moses? We get in from the verse that
goes on to say: “And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he
turned again into the camp: but HIS SERVANT JOSHUA, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of
the tabernacle"- Exodus 33:11, KJV. 
And also says, “And Joshua the son of Nun, THE SERVANT OF MOSES, one of his young men, answered
and said, MY LORD MOSES, forbid them”- Numbers 11:28, KJV. In fact, not only was Jesus [peace and
blessings be upon him] inferior to Moses, but he was even inferior to Elijah [as the latter seem to have gone
up to heaven without ever tasting death]. And from whence do we know that the gospel hints at this very
same idea? 
We get it from the verse where both Moses & Elijah appear to Yeshua, in order to instruct him concerning the
upcoming events of his life. As is written: “Suddenly, two men were talking with him—MOSES AND
ELIJAH. They appeared in glory AND WERE SPEAKING OF HIS DEPARTURE, WHICH HE WAS
ABOUT TO ACCOMPLISH IN JERUSALEM”- Luke 9:30, Christian Standard Bible. Who is supposed to
provide instruction and guidance? The disciple to his Master? Or is it rather the Master to his disciple?
