Reformed Samaritanism and Christmas celebration

Reformed Samaritanism and Christmas celebration

Reformed Samaritanism incorporates an ancient tradition stating that, after God had told Adam and Eve of their eventual demise, they both started to live in fear, never knowing when [or how] would such destruction come about.
Soon after their expulsion from “Gan Eden” (the Garden of Eden), they noticed that days were becoming shorter and shorter. Thus, they reckoned that this would be their predicted end, and therefore started to mourn.
But, after December solstice arrived, they notice that days were becoming longer again. So they greatly rejoiced about it, realizing it was no Divine punishment, but rather the mysterious way in which the Holy One (Blessed be He) had created His World.
Thus, in order to remember the gratitude owed to their Creator, they both decided to make such season a yearly celebration; a time for rejoicing, spanning eight days prior to the winter solstice unto eight days after the solstice. And the former is the happy [and grateful] source of all winter-related global celebrations.

Beware not to worship Jesus

Jesus (peace and blessing be with him) compared his future to that of Moses serpent (“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up”- John 3: 14). But if Jesus was indeed uttering a prophecy, then we must beware of the Christian worship of his personality.
Why? Simply because, while Moses serpent began as a divine instrument of God’s salvation (or “healing”), it finally had to be destroyed by God’s anointed king (Hezekiah), as the people started to worship it as an idol (just like Christians have started to worship Jesus! ). As is written:
«He (Hezekiah) removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, AND BRAKE IN PIECES THE BRASEN SERPENT THAT MOSES HAD MADE: FOR UNTO THOSE DAYS THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID BURN INCENSE TO IT: and he called it “Nehushtan” (meaning a dirty or unclean thing)»- 2 Kings 18: 4, KJV.
Notice that, in ancient past, all Hebrew kings were ceremonially anointed with oil (and the Hebrew word for “anointed” is “Mashiach”, meaning “Messiah”). Thus, what is intimated in the former verse is that just as Hezekiah (a Hebrew Messiah) came and put an end to the idolatrous worship of Moses serpent, so will it come a day when a future [Hebrew] Messiah will put and end to the idolatrous worship of Jesus.

God’s Law and the homosexual behavior

Reformed Samaritanism teaches that the homosexual behavior has always been around; even among ancient Israelites! As is written: “Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the [Israelite] city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him ”- Judges 19: 22.
In the former verse, the words translated as “ that we may know him ”, are to be understood as sexual intercourse, just as in the verse that goes on to say: “ And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain... ”- Genesis 4: 1.
Yet, in spite of the above, the homosexual behavior was seldom a troublesome issue among ancient Israelites. Why? Simply because, as a rule of thumb, ancient people used to have a keen sense of dignity and morality, as well as a deep sense of shame. For example, if your beard were to be improperly cut, or your attires were in sad disarray, you would hide it from public sight.
As is written: “ Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away. Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return ”- 1 Chronicles 19: 4-5.
So, as a rule of thumb, ancient homosexuals would feel shame of their sexual tendencies, and would therefore hide them from the public eye. And since God Law provided public punishments only for public offenses, no homosexual would ever be punished for his hidden lifestyle.
Unfortunately, the latter generations seem to have lost their sense of shame, dignity, and humility. Thus, hardened by the lust of their passions they’ve not only come to embrace the homosexual lifestyle but, on top of it it, have added shameless pride, thereby making it far worst. In want sense? In that their pride has come to be so great [and so brazen], that they openly celebrate gay “ Pride ” parades.
And here is where a Divine “red line” is actually crossed; when, in the lust of their unbounded pride, they go public about it. Why is a Divine red line crossed? Because God hates all sort of pride and arrogance, as the proud person makes himself immune to any positive change and improvement (as his pride prevents him from ever recognizing that he might be mistaken). Thus, only stern public punishment [the type prescribed by God’s Law] can make the proud person alter his self destructing behavior.
And from whence do we get that the Creator (blessed be He) hates all sort of pride [let alone homosexual pride parades]? We get it from the verses that go on to say:
“ But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed… I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron... The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves… An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin… For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low ”- Daniel 5: 2, Leviticus 26: 19, Isaiah 3: 9, Proverbs 21: 4, & Isaiah 2: 12.
