Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

 
What is the meaning of the verse that goes on to say, "the dead know not any thing" (Ecclesiastes 9: 
5)? 
The Hebrew Scripture says: «For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing...” 
(Ecclesiastes 9: 5, King James Version). What is Scripture trying to tell us by this? Why is it presented to us 
[as if it were a great divine revelation], something that even the most foolish of sinners knows [that everyone 
488


who lives will one day have to die]? Well, it is done in order to teach us a deeper truth. You see, when the 
verse speaks of "the living", it is not referring to those whose bodies are alive, but to the righteous [those 
whose souls are alive, since they already have eternal life]. These "living" know that their bodies will die, but
they have no fear, because they know that their souls will live forever. 
On the other hand, when the verse speaks of "the dead", it is referring to the unjust [in other words, those 
who oppose God's Law]; whose bodies are alive, but whose souls are already "dead". In other words, the soul
that isn't cemented upon the Divine Law is "dead", and "knows nothing" of God's truth. And if this soul is 
dead even while it's body is still alive, how much more by far will it be dead once it's body is no longer 
alive? 
The God who publicly spoke to the Israel on top of Mt. Sinai commanded the following: “Obey me alone!
How? By refusing to lie, murder, steal, dishonor your parents, etc”. Thus, if anyone does these things, he too
will be serving the same God the Israelites served, no matter if he calls Him Jesus, Allah, Aura Mazda, or
even Khrishna. And the latter might be the why God’s original name (YHVH) was written without vowels [so
that nobody could accurately know it’s exact pronunciation]; as if to imply that, we don’t serve Israel’s God
by uttering mysterious and/or esoteric words; we do it by obeying the things He has personally commanded
