Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

Standing with the homosexuals killed at Orlando’s Gay Club? 
Does Scripture show Abraham weeping over the death of Gomorrah’s dwellers? Do we find Lot mourning 
the holocaust suffered by his deceased Sodomite neighbors? Yes, it is true that [from the Scripture’s 
standpoint] human life is sacred; but the fact of the matter is that, showing solidarity with those who pride 
themselves in their open immorality will [sooner or later] lead us into showing solidarity with their rebellious

lifestyle. 
And the latter is equivalent to praising such debased behavior, as man sympathizes only with that which he 
admires and praises. But the latter is the natural result of abandoning God’s Law, as Scripture teaches that he 
who turns away from God's Law will end up praising the wicked. As it is written: “THOSE WHO TURN 
AWAY FROM THE LAW, PRAISE THE WICKED; [but] those who keep it are against him»- Prov. 28:4, 
God Speaks Today Bible Version. 
Steer away from the foolishness of being excessively kind [pretending to be more merciful than the Creator]. 
Why? Because whoever does so will end up being destroyed. As it is written: “DO NOT BE TOO JUST, nor 
be too wise; WHY SHOULD YOU DESTROY YOURSELF?”- Ecclesiastes 7:16. 
In short, the true man of God is he who gladly opposes every form of evil and/or open immorality; while he 
who sympathizes with the latter is instead “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” (in other words, “a shameless 
impostor”). As it has been said: “YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED EVIL; 
THEREFORE GOD, your God, HAS ANOINTED YOU WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS… THE JUST 
LORD IS IN THE MIDST THEREOF; HE WILL NOT DO INIQUITY… BUT THE UNJUST KNOWETH 
NO SHAME” - Psalm 45:7 & Zephaniah 3:5 (King James Version) 
Which one is right? God's Law?, Or the Gospel? 
If God's Law asks that we do (or believe) in anything (that we should rest on the seventh day; that God 
rewards those who obey His commandments, and punishes those who disobey them; that God is morally 
400


perfect; that God is no man; that the Supreme Being is a single entity, and not a plurality of beings; that no 
man can die for the sins of someone else, etc), and then comes the Gospel asking us to believe instead the 
opposite, what is the believer supposed to do? 
Well, the answer is quite simple. You see, until the gospel appeared two thousand years ago, Hebrew 
believers never had a reason to question the veracity of God’s Law, as [unlike the Gospel] the Law was the 
result of a National revelation where God spoke publicly not only to Moses, but also to the whole Nation of 
Israel. In addition, the Law never claimed to be the fulfillment of any future book; instead, it claimed to be 
self standing righteousness and truth. As is written: “Thy Righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And 
thy Law is Truth”- Psalm 119:142 (American Standard Version). 
On the other hand, the Gospel actually claimed to be the fulfillment of God’s Law; so that, unlike the Law 
[whose veracity doesn’t depend upon the veracity of the Gospel], the veracity of the Gospel ultimately 
depends upon the veracity of the Law. As is written: “Think not that I came to destroy the Law or the 
Prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfill”- Matthew 5:17, American Standard Version. 
Thus, whenever the Gospel departs from what has been said [or done] in the Law, we have no option but to 
side with the former, as it is the Gospel that ought to comply with the Law, and not the other way around. In 
other words, it would be absurd to claim that the Gospel is true, if the latter doesn’t comply with the Law [as 
it is this compliance what validates the Gospel’s alleged truthfulness]
