Can Gentiles (Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Chinese, Arabs, etc) choose to practice the Hebrew (Reformed Samaritan) religion?
Can Gentiles (Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Chinese, Arabs, etc) choose to practice the Hebrew religion? Of course they can! And from whence do we know it? We know it from the fact that Adonai (the Lord God) has personally said so.
As it is written: “And the foreigners who join themselves to Adonai to serve him, to love the name of Adonai, and to be his workers, all who keep Shabbat and do not profane it, and hold fast to my covenant, I will bring them to my Holy mountain and make them joyful in my House of prayer; their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my House will be called a House of prayer for all peoples”- Isaiah 56: 6-7, Complete Jewish Bible.
And the same truth is attested by the wisest of all kings (king Solomon) when he foresaw that the gentile nations would hear about Adonai, and come to worship them at the Holy temple.
As it is written: “Also the foreigner who does not belong to your people Isra’el — when he comes from a distant country because of your reputation (for they will hear of your great reputation, your mighty hand and your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house; then hear in heaven where you live, and act in accordance with everything about which the foreigner is calling to you; so that all the [Gentile] peoples of the Earth will know your name and fear you, as does your people Isra’el... ”- 1 Kings 8: 41-43, Complete Jewish Bible
Al igual que El Creador (bendito sea), el Hombre tambié n es “un lugar”
Desde un punto de vista puramente té cnico, el hombre no es sino un pequeñ o lugar...
*** Un lugar donde converge una pequeñ a porció n de todos los tipos de materia del universo
*** Un lugar donde converge una pequeñ a porció n de todas las formas de energí a del universo
*** Un lugar donde converge una pequeñ a porció n de todas las formas de espacio del Universo
*** Un lugar donde converge una pequeñ a porció n de todos los tiempos del Universo
*** Un lugar donde converge una pequeñ a porció n de todas las historias del universo
*** Un lugar donde converge una pequeñ a porció n de todas las probabilidades del universo
*** Un lugar donde converge una pequeñ a porció n de todas las leyes quí micas, fí sicas, y bioló gicas del universo
*** Un lugar donde converge una pequeñ a porció n de todas las relaciones de causa y efecto del Universo
*** Un lugar donde converge una pequeñ a porció n de toda la voluntad del Universo
*** Un lugar donde converge una pequeñ a porció n de todos los estados de conciencia del Universo
Y es bajo esta perspectiva que la fe Samaritana postula que, ya que la Escritura afirma que el hombre fue creado a imagen y semejanza de su Hacedor (bendito sea), este ú ltimo tambien tiene por fuerza que ser un lugar (y la palabra que la tradició n Hebrea utiliza para esta descripció n de la Deidad es “Ha Makon”). Pero Dios no solamente es “un lugar”, sino que es en cambio “El Gran Lugar”. Es decir, El Grande y Maravilloso Lugar de donde surgen todos los “pequeñ os lugares”; aquel Sagrado e Infinito Lugar donde moran la totalidad de todas las cosas: de todos los paradigmas; de todas las posibilidades; de todas las preguntas; de todas las respuestas; de toda la duda, de toda la certidumbre; de todas las existencias; de todas las inexistencias; de todas las leyes; de todas las formas de tiempo, de espacio, de materia, y de energí a; de toda la sabidurí a; de toda la justicia, de toda la misericordia, de toda la humildad; de toda la fe; de todo el amor; de toda la voluntad; y de toda la conciencia del universo.
The implicit message of ancient Hebrew faith
The implicit message of Moses Law isn't the nation of Israel. Neither is it the gentile nations of the World. Torah's implicit message isn't the land of Israel, the city of Jerusalem, nor is it the Sacred temple. In fact it is neither the figure of Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, nor any other prophet (peace and blessing be upon them all).
Torah's implicit message, is the logical [but revolutionary] idea that, the Law of “measure by measure” (also known as the law of “sowing and reaping”, “cause and effect”, or “action and reaction”), isn't limited to agrarian and/or physical objects; rather, it's scope includes non physical things [like morality, consciousness, soul, and faith].
This Law of “measure for measure” states that we ought to stop doing evil, in order to start doing what is good. Why? Because the universe in which we exist is in itself subservient to the Divine law of “measure for measure”. Thus, sooner or later the universe will have no other option but to force us to “reap” the same goodness [or evil] we have “sowed”. And this will in turn be the manifestation of God's perfect judgment upon our lives- to give us the same blessings (or curses) we have freely chosen to sow upon our fellow human beings.
And the Torah confirms the claim that Divine justice will force us to “reap” the same [moral] fruit that, thru our “works” [or “actions”], we have “sowed. When? When it goes on to say: “Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of wisdom, GOD FORBID THAT WICKEDNESS SHOULD BE IN GOD, and iniquity in the Almighty. FOR HE WILL RENDER UNTO MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORK, AND CAUSE EVERYONE TO FIND ACCORDING TO HIS WAY. And certainly God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment”- Job 34: 10-12 (Geneva Bible, 1599).
And it also says in another place: “... FOR THOU [OH LORD] REWARDEST EVERYONE ACCORDING TO HIS WORK”- Psalm 62: 12 (Geneva Bible, 1599); And further on: “If you [profess ignorance and] say, Behold, we did not know this, does not He Who weighs and ponders the heart perceive and consider it? And He Who guards your life, does not He know it? And SHALL NOT HE RENDER TO [YOU AND] EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS? - Proverbs 24: 12 (Amplified Bible, Classic edition).
And the prophet also agrees with the former, when he goes on to say: “... MY CHOSEN WILL ENJOY THE WORK OF HIS HANDS' (Isaiah 65: 22). Finally, it says the following: “For many nations, and great kings shall even serve themselves of them: THUS WILL I RECOMPENSE THEM ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS, AND ACCORDING TO THE WORKS OF THEIR OWN HANDS”- Jeremiah 25: 14 (Geneva Bible, 1599).
Thus, it makes plain sense to think that, the well-being of each man rests upon his [or her] willingness to repent of his wickedness, thereby turning away from his evil behavior, in order to start doing the good works that please the Creator [in other words, obeying the Ten commandments of the Divine Law]. As it is written, “DEPART FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD; AND YOU WILL DWELL FOREVER [SECURELY]”- Psalm 37: 27 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition).
Or as it says elsewhere: «All has been heard; THE END OF THE MATTER IS: “FEAR GOD [REVERE AND WORSHIP HIM, KNOWING THAT HE IS] AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE OF MAN [THE FULL, ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF HIS CREATION, THE OBJECT OF GOD’S PROVIDENCE, THE ROOT OF CHARACTER, THE FOUNDATION OF ALL HAPPINESS, THE ADJUSTMENT TO ALL INHARMONIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES AND CONDITIONS UNDER THE SUN] AND THE WHOLE [DUTY] FOR EVERY MAN.
FOR GOD SHALL BRING EVERY WORK INTO JUDGMENT, with every secret thing, whether it is good or evil”»- Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition).
And even the Christian writings attest to the fact that God's righteous judgment consists in rewarding each person according to the good [or evil] he [or she] has performed. As it is written: “And the sea gave up her dead, which were in her, and death and hell delivered up the dead, which were in them: AND THEY WERE JUDGED EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS”- Revelation 20: 13 (Geneva Bible, 1599).
And the New Testament also says in another place: “BUT THOU, AFTER THINE HARDNESS, AND HEART THAT CANNOT REPENT, HEAPEST UP AS A TREASURE UNTO THYSELF WRATH AGAINST THE DAY OF WRATH, AND OF THE DECLARATION OF THE JUST JUDGMENT OF GOD, WHO WILL REWARD EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS: THAT IS, TO THEM WHICH THROUGH PATIENCE IN WELL DOING, SEEK GLORY, AND HONOR, AND IMMORTALITY, EVERLASTING LIFE... TRIBULATION AND ANGUISH SHALL BE UPON THE SOUL OF EVERY MAN THAT DOETH EVIL: OF THE JEW FIRST, AND ALSO OF THE GRECIAN. BUT TO EVERY MAN THAT DOETH GOOD, SHALL BE GLORY, AND HONOR, AND PEACE: TO THE JEW FIRST, AND ALSO TO THE GRECIAN”- Romans 2: 5-7, & 9-10 (Geneva Bible, 1599).
Thus, when any person [or any thing], stirs our hearts, so that our reply is to turn away from our rebellious obstinacy [in order to start obeying God's commandments], such person [or such thing] has immediately become the promised Redeemer (or Messiah)- He who has come to save us.
As it has been promised in the verse that goes on to says: “And THE REDEEMER SHALL COME UNTO ZION (UNTO WHOM SHALL THE REDEEMER COME? ).... UNTO THEM THAT TURN [AWAY] FROM INIQUITY IN JACOB, saith the Lord” - Isaiah 59: 20 (Geneva Bible, 1599).
Again, the fact that the road to everlasting Life is to be found in the performance of the good ordained by God upon the two stone tablets, is such a paramount and undeniable truth, that both the Holy Gospel, as well as the Noble Qur'an, confirms it. As it is written:
“And he [Jesus] said unto him, Why called thou me good? there is none good but one, even God: BUT IF THOU WILT ENTER INTO [EVERLASTING] LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS.... THOU SHALT NOT KILL: THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY: THOU SHALT NOT STEAL: THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS. HONOR THY FATHER, AND MOTHER: AND, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF”- Matthew 19: 17-19 (Geneva Bible, 1599);
And also says in another Scripture: “Allah (GOD) HAS PROMISED THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND WORK RIGHTEOUSNESS: THEY WILL HAVE FORGIVENESS AND A GREAT REWARD [IN THE WORLD TO COME]''- Qur'an, Surah 5: 9.
