Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

If God is really just, why would He allow human beings to cause so much pain and suffering to one 
another?
If the Holy One [blessed be His name] is indeed a God of moral perfection, why does He allow human 
beings to cause each other so much harm and suffering? The answer to this ancient question is based on the 
idea that the Creator is no man. 
What does it mean? It means God's behavior will always be more just, more merciful, more humble, and 
more noble than the best human being (“
Perfect is the work of the mighty God: for all his ways are 
judgment. God is true, and without wickedness: just and righteous is He
”- Deut. 32:4, 1599 Geneva Bible).
For example, when a human King issues a law (for his subjects to keep), the King can choose whether or not 
he wants to keep that Law as well; But, with the Creator, it is different. In other words, when the Lord 
commands us to keep something, He is the first one to observe what has been commanded. 
425


Consider the following: when Adonai (the Lord) commands that we renounce to our selfish will, in order to 
let His will be done, it is because He has first denied Himself, in order to let our will be done-- in other 
words, God granted us the free will that enable us to do our will (i.e., doing harm to our fellow human 
beings), instead of God’s own will (that we do only good to our fellow human beings). 
And the former might explain the reason why, whenever we write God’s sacred same ( הוהי ) in a vertical 
fashion, the latter forms the image of a man whose arm, leg, and back appear to be “broken”. 
Why? Because, by giving man a free will that will allow him to harm his fellow creatures, God became 
“broken” [as He opened up to the possibility of man disobeying Him]… In other words, by placing a limit 
upon His absolute will and power, the Creator effectively denied Himself, which is tantamount to inflicting 
pain and suffering upon His own infinite nature. 
Thus, it can be properly said that, although man experiences pain and suffering, it was God Himself the one 
who first experienced what pain and suffering is [so man does not suffer alone, as God also suffers with 
him!]. Yet, if we are brutally honest, we would have to acknowledge that suffering is God’s greatest gift to 
mankind. 
Why? Simply because God’s Law (also known as “Torah”) promises salvation only for the meek and humble
