Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

Good and evil-- They both come from God 
Truth and Deception, Wisdom and foolishness, Good and Evil… they all come from the same source (God),
and they are all part of the drama by means of which He teaches us the reason why light is superior to
darkness; and why the Creator’s way is far better than the creature’s way. 
As is written: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as
the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your
thoughts”- Isaiah 55:8-9, KJB. 
And from whence do we know evil comes from God? From the verse that goes on to say: “… Shall evil
befall a city, and the LORD hath not done it?”- Amos 3:6, Jewish Publication Society (1917 Edition) 
The Samaritan View Of Heaven And Hell 
Many well intended people have a strong conviction of the existence of a future [literal] Judgment, as well as
in a future [physical] Hell [or Heaven] awaiting all human beings in the afterlife. But as the human soul isn't 
a physical entity, it follows that any “heaven” [or “hell”] experienced by the soul can only be a particular 
state of consciousness [like one of extreme joy, or conversely one of extreme remorse]. 
Besides, Hebrew Scripture hints at the idea that “The Supreme Power of the Universe” (the God of Abraham,
blessed be He) won't personally reward [nor punish] anybody, as His judgment seems to have been issued 
since before the beginning of time. What judgment is that? None other than letting humans judge themselves.
How? By forcing them to “reap” the same amount of “heaven” (goodness) or “hell” (evil) they have freely 
and willingly bestowed upon their needy fellow creatures (in other words, by subjecting them to the eternal 
law of “measure for measure”, “sowing and reaping”, or “action and reaction”). 
As it is has been said: “AS YOU HAVE DONE, IT WILL [ALSO] BE DONE TO YOU…“- Obadiah 1:15... 
“And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered 
their food under my table: AS I HAVE DONE, SO GOD HATH REQUITED ME”- Judges 1:7....“Also unto 
Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy, FOR THOU RENDEREST TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS 
WORK”- Psalm 62:12....“… AND SHALL NOT HE RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS 
WORKS?”-Proverbs 24:12... “… MINE ELECT SHALL LONG ENJOY THE WORK OF THEIR 
HANDS”- Isaiah 65:22. 
An the fact that man chooses his own heaven [or hell] is also confirmed by a Jewish Midrash that goes on to 
relate that, when emperor Titus was about to die, he asked his servant to cremate his body and scatter his 
ashes upon the seven seas (so that the God of the Jews wouldn’t be able to find him in order to pass judgment
upon him). They did so and several years later it happened that [with the aid of a Necromancer] his nice 
388


(Onkelos) brought up Titus spirit. When Onkelos asked Titus what his punishment (hell) in the afterlife was, 
Titus replied saying: “My punishment is what I declared for myself- every day my ashes are collected from 
the seven seas, I’m formed as a human being, judgment is passed upon me, I’m burned, and my ashes are 
scattered upon the seven seas”
