Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

Why was the gospel once called “avon-gilion” (the gospel of iniquity)? 
Ancient Hebrew faith was quite different from it’s modern counterpart. Why? Simply because, unlike 
modern Judaism, which places it’s focus on the ritual aspect of the faith, the aim of the former was the moral 
perfection of the believer. For example, ancient Hebrew faith taught that the Creator hates liars. In fact, God 
expects the Hebrew believer to be truthful, to be transparent, and to stand by his word. And the former is 
attested by the following Scriptures: 
1) “Thou shalt not bear false witness…”- Exodus 20:16; 
2) “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord”- Proverbs 12:22; 
3) “These are the things that ye shall do: Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor…”- Zechariah 8:16; 
4) “Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in Thy holy hill?… he that taketh an oath to 
his own hurt, and changeth not”- Psalm 15:1&4 
5) «But all the princes said unto all the congregation, “We have sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel 
[that we won’t harm them]. Now therefore we may not touch them”»- Joshua 9:19 
And this ancient commitment with truthfulness and integrity forces the real Hebrew believer to automatically
reject any uncertain, shady, or convoluted theology; as the latter might unintentionally lead him to bear a 
false witness [thereby making him lose God’s favor]. 
A good example of the former is the Christian gospels. You see, the gospel narrative is confusing, as it 
includes self contradictory statements that, in theory, could be used to justify almost anything you want 
(including lies, fraud, and deception!). 
In fact, the following Jewish tradition describes a case were a Christian judge used the Gospel narrative to 
justify his dishonest behavior: 
In the vecinity of Imma Shalom [Rabbi Eliezer’s wife, who was Rabban Gamaliel’s Sister], there lived a 
Heretical [Judeo-Christian] judge who had a reputation for not accepting bribes. In an attempt to expose him,
Imma Shalom brought him a golden lamp. She then appeared before him [in court], where she said, “I desire 
that a share be given me in my deceased father’s estate”. He ordered, “Divide the estate!”. But Rabban 
Gamaliel spoke up saying, «In our Scripture, it is written,“Where there is a son, a daughter does not 
inherit”». 
The heretical judge replied, «Ever since the day you were exiled from your Land, the Torah of Moses has 
been suspended, and another Torah [the law of the Evangelium] given. In that Torah, it is written, “A son and 
a daughter inherit equally (Galatians 3:28)”». The next day, after Rabban Gamaliel had brought him a [fine] 
Lybian ass, the judge said to them, «I have read further to the end of the Book, where it is written, “I came 
not to destroy the Torah of Moses (Matthew 5:17), but only to add to the Torah of Moses”; and, as you said, 
in that Torah it is written, “A daughter does not inherit where there is a son”». 
At this, Imma Shalom said to the Judge, “May your light shine forth like a lamp!”; But Rabbam Gamaliel 
added, “An ass has come and knocked down the lamp!” (Babylonian Talmud, Shab. 116, a-b). And this 
lending itself equally for good and evil might have been the reason why a Jewish Rabbi named "Meir" would
call the heretics book, “aven-gilion” (the gospel of falsehood); while Rabbi Yohanan used to call it, “avon-
gilion” (the gospel of iniquity).
