What is Scripture’s stance on ethnic, religious, and political discrimination?




What is Scripture’s stance on ethnic, religious, and political discrimination?

If you spend enough time studying the Hebrew Scripture, you will eventually discover that, in the eyes of the Creator [blessed be He], there are no Jews, no Christians, no Muslims, and no Samaritans; there is no Black person, and no White person; there is no American, no Chinese, no Russian, and no Arab; there are no Republicans, nor are there any Democrats.
In the eyes of Moses’ God, there’s only people who fear the Creator [striving to live the life of holiness, justice, mercy, and humility enshrined by God’s commandments], and people who don’t yet fear Him, [and therefore oppose the life of holiness enshrined by God’s commandments].
Those who openly fear God, deserve or praise, our admiration, and our support [no matter if they are Arabs, or Jews; Russians, or Americans; Blacks, or Whites; Democrats, or Republicans]. But those who openly oppose God [refusing to obey God’s commandments, and encouraging others to do the same] deserve neither our praise, our admiration, nor our support [no matter if they are Arabs, or Jews; Russians, or Americans; Blacks, or Whites; Democrats, or Republicans]. As is written:
“God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death... ”- Psalm 7: 11-13, KJV. And also says in another place: “They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them”- Proverbs 28: 4, KJV.
In fact, even when the wicked prays to God, until his heart is willing to follow the path of holiness outlined by God's Law, his prayer is considered to be an abomination. As is written: “He that turneth away his ear from hearing the Law, even his prayer shall be abomination”- Proverbs 28: 3, KJV

 

Our dear Christian brothers and sisters: Please bear in mind that the aim of the information herein provided isn't to persuade you to abandon your faith in the Messianic claims of Jesus Christ (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, their sole purpose is to demonstrate the reason why Reformed Samaritans cannot embrace Christian theology, as by so doing we feel we would be embracing a subtle form of self deception (in other words, we would be “rationalizing” the rebellion implied in going against the plain and simple teaching of God's Law). Thus, although we consider Christianity to be a noble and godly religion, we believe Christian theology isn't the right path for he who believes in the Divine inspiration of God's Law, and therefore wants to live by it's precepts. Peace be upon you! ”

 

 

The problem with raising a man [i. e., Jesus] to the level of God, is that you end up lowering God to the level of man!

The Christian writings say: «What I am saying is this: One of you says, “I belong to Paul, ” or “I belong to Apollos, ” or “I belong to Cephas, ” or “I belong to Christ”»- 1 Corinthians 1: 12 (1599 Geneva Bible).
In their well intended [but totally misguided] attempt to praise Jesus, Christianity has raised him to the level of God. But this is foolish, as the gospel quotes the former stating that he has no interest in the praise of men (“I receive not the praise of men”- John 5: 41, 1599 Geneva Bible).
Not only that but, by raising Jesus to the level of God, Christianity ends up lowering God to the level of men- thereby placing the morally perfect Creator in the same list as their morally flawed creatures; men like like Paul, Apollos, and Cephas.
There’s more! Not only is God placed in the same list with morally flawed human beings, but He is even placed at the end of the list! (“I belong to Paul… I belong to Apollos… I belong to Cephas…. I belong to Jesus”).
¿ Could you imagine ancient Hebrew believers splitting themselves into “followers of Abraham”, “followers of Moses”, “followers of David”, and finally “Followers of the Lord”? Wouldn’t it be a sort of pagan blasphemy to even suggest that the Creator was just another flawed mortal human being, just as Abraham, Moses, and David?

 

 

Did Jesus [peace and blessings be upon him] perfectly fulfill the 613 commandments comprising God's Law?

Christianity is a noble and godly religion. But, though well intended, Christian theology is misleading, and incoherent. Consider the following example: Christianity claims Jesus to be sinless, and therefore suitable to be the atoning sacrifice commanded at Passover [and Yom Kippur] by Moses Law.
But, did Jesus literally fulfill the 613 commandments comprising Moses Law? In fact, given that Christianity claims him to be the perfect [and supreme] Jewish high priest, we may also ask ourselves: Did Jesus actually follow what the Law had to say concerning atoning sacrifices... Did he perfectly obey all that was commanded to the Aaronic priests? And even more importantly-- did he sacrifice himself according to what was commanded by Moses Law?
Sadly, the answer to the former questions is a resounding, “No! ”. Actually, how could he had done so, when his priesthood had in fact nothing to do with the Aaronic order prescribed [and regulated] by Moses Law, but rather with the [pagan] order of Melchizedek [for which the Law had nothing to command]?
And from whence do we know Jesus didn't follow the Aaronic priesthood prescribed by God's Law? We know it from the verse that goes on to say:
“Although he [Jesus] was the Son, he learned obedience from what he suffered... and he was declared by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek... Jesus has entered there on our behalf as a forerunner, because he has become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek... Now if perfection came through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to appear, said to be according to the order of Melchizedek and not according to the order of Aaron?... Now it is evident that our Lord [Jesus] came from Judah, and Moses said nothing about that tribe concerning priests. And this becomes clearer if another priest like Melchizedek appears, who did not become a priest based on a legal regulation about physical descent... For it has been testified: You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek”- Hebrews 5: 8-10, 6: 20, 7: 11, 7: 14-16, 7: 17, Christian Standard Bible.
Thus, it is self evident that Jesus sinned, by failing to obey the Law; In other words, by not offering his own sacrifice according to what the Law had clearly commanded Aaron (sacrifices to be made only inside the holy Temple, and only by the hand of Aaron's offspring), but rather according to the obscure and uncertain dictum of a pagan order [which apparently allowed sacrifices to be made on top of open hills, and by the hand of idol worshiping Heathens].
