There is no Divine wisdom aside from God’s Law

There is no Divine wisdom aside from God’s Law

The Reformed Samaritan faith is based upon The Law, as given by God to our master Moses at the top of Mount Sinai. And the nature of this Divine code is such that it gives it’s followers a clarity of mind that naturally makes them “head”, instead of “tail” (leaders, instead of followers). As is written:
“And THE LORD SHALL MAKE THEE THE HEAD, AND NOT THE TAIL; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them”- Deuteronomy 28: 13. Not only that, but God himself promises that even the gentile (non Hebrew believing) nations of the World would recognize their wisdom. As is written: «Keep therefore and do them; FOR THIS IS YOUR WISDOM AND YOUR UNDERSTANDING IN THE SIGHT OF THE NATIONS, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, “SURELY THIS GREAT NATION IS A WISE AND UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE! ”»- Deuteronomy 4: 6.
Thus, as soon as the Hebrew believer abandons God’s Law, he loses his intelligence, and can no longer tell apart the left path, from the right path (the animal-like behavior, from the human-like behavior). As is written: “… should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than SIXSCORE THOUSAND PERSONS THAT CANNOT DISCERN BETWEEN THEIR RIGHT HAND AND THEIR LEFT HAND...? ”- Jonah 4: 11.
In fact, the man who abandons God’s Law loses his wisdom, and can no longer tell apart good from evil; thus, he ends up praising the wicked, currying their approval. As is written: “THEY THAT FORSAKE THE LAW PRAISE THE WICKED: but such as keep the Law contend with them”- Proverbs 28: 4.
But what is the precise nature of this Divine wisdom? How does it works? Well, the answer to this question is surprisingly simple. You see, obedience to God’s commandments (do not steal, do not lie, do not murder, keep the Sabbath, honor your parents, do not commit adultery, help the needy, do not oppress the weak, let slaves go free, respect other people’s property, flee from corruption, etc) puts your mind in tune with the Divine order of the Universe; with the universal law of “measure, for measure”; “sowing, and reaping”; “cause, and effect”; “you reap, what you have sowed”; “what goes around, comes around”; “the tree, is known by it’s fruit”, etc.
Thus, the Hebrew believer cannot be easily fooled by ideological smoke screens, theological sophism, logical fallacies, nor crafty flattering techniques. Why? Because God’s Law has shaped his psyche, giving him a “results oriented” mindset. Therefore, the seemingly unsolvable issues that so often mislead the gentile mindset (Is homosexuality OK? Are men and women really equal? Is salvation achieved by faith?, Is Jesus God? Is Muhammad God’s great last prophet?, Has the Law been abolished?, etc) are non issues for the Hebrew believer.
Why? Because he instinctively knows that, no matter the name that is given to the issue, anything that push him away from the Law [or tries to seduce him to deny what the Law commands], amounts to the worship of a strange God. As is written: “Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: And A CURSE, IF YE WILL NOT OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD YOUR GOD, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, TO GO AFTER OTHER GODS, WHICH YE HAVE NOT KNOWN”- Deuteronomy 11: 26-28.

The reason why the God of Moses will never become a man of flesh and blood

There are certain things the God of Moses (blessed be He) has decided never to do: One of then is to never be evil (“He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He”- Deuteronomy 32: 4), and another one is to never allow His people to embrace the moral corruption of associating Him with the image of any man. As is written:
“Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: LEST YE CORRUPT YOURSELVES, AND MAKE YOU A GRAVEN IMAGE, THE SIMILITUDE OF ANY FIGURE, THE LIKENESS OF MALE or female" - (Deuteronomy 4: 15-16, KJV).
And the latter might be the reason why Scripture goes on to say: “GOD IS NO MAN... ” (Numbers 23: 19, KJV). And elsewhere says: “... THE STRENGTH OF ISRAEL WILL NOT LIE NOR REPENT: FOR HE IS NOT A MAN... ” (1 Samuel 15: 29, KJV). And even Jesus of Nazareth is quoted saying: “GOD IS SPIRIT... ” (John 4: 24, KJV).
But why is so morally wrong to claim God is a man? Simply because no man is free from sin (that is, free from moral corruption); as is written: “FOR THERE IS NOT A JUST MAN UPON EARTH, THAT DOETH GOOD, AND SINNETH NOT” (Ecclesiastes 7: 20, KJV); And also says, “YET THE CHILDREN OF MEN ARE VANITY, THE CHIEF MEN ARE LIARS: to lay them upon a balance THEY ARE ALTOGETHER LIGHTER THAN VANITY” (Psalm 62: 9, 1599 Geneva Bible).
Thus, claiming God is a man, is a subtle way of blaspheming the Creator; implying that, just as it happens with every man, He too is a morally corrupted being (a vain liar! ).

The God of Abraham doesn’t play, “Hide and seek”

The God of the Hebrews isn’t a tyrant, nor is He a religious dictator who plays with His people a cruel game of “hide and seek”. All He demands from those who seek Him is that they do the goodness entailed in His 10 commandments, so they can earn the right to reap a good harvest; a plentiful reward for “the good seed” they have planted for His glory.
As is written: «This commandment that I’m giving you right now is definitely not too difficult for you. It isn’t unreachable. It isn’t up in heaven somewhere so that you have to ask, “Who will go up for us to heaven and get it for us that we can hear it and do it? ”
Nor is it across the ocean somewhere so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the ocean for us and get it for us that we can hear it and do it? ” Not at all! The word is very close to you. It’s in your mouth and in your heart, waiting for you to do it. Look here! Today I’ve set before you life and what’s good versus death and what’s wrong.
If you obey the Lord your God’s commandments that I’m commanding you right now by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments, his regulations, and his case laws, then you will live and thrive, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.
But if your heart turns away and you refuse to listen, and so are misled, worshiping other gods and serving them, I’m telling you right now that you will definitely die. You will not prolong your life on the fertile land that you are crossing the Jordan River to enter and possess»- Deuteronomy 30: 11-18, Common English Bible.
And the fact that God just wants us to do good, is also attested by the prophet, when he says:
“He has told you, human one, what is good and what the Lord requires from you: to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God”- Micah 6: 8.
In fact, even Jesus of Nazareth is quoted bearing witness of this Divine truth, when he goes on to say:
“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who harass you, so that you will be acting as children of your Father who is in heaven. He makes the sun rise on both the evil and the good, and sends rain on both the righteous and the unrighteous… Therefore, you should treat people in the same way that you want people to treat you; [for] this is the Law, and the Prophets”- Matthew 5: 44-45, & 7: 12
