Ethical Monotheism: God’s own religion!

“Resolve to do good unto the needy, no matter if they be Jews, or Gentiles; But strive to oppose all sort of brazen deception, pride, injustice, cruelty, and open immorality, no matter if the latter is being promoted by the Jews, or by the Gentiles”

You cannot build a Holy Land for the Israeli children on the mass graves of the Palestinian children!

“Behold, I will press you in your place, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves. And flight shall perish from the swift; and the strong shall not strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself; neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself… and he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith יהוה (Adonay Yah)”- Amos 2:13-16

The strange way in which God encourages anti-semitism, in order to bring correction upon the Jewish people

Jewish tradition states that, for eighteen years a divine voice kept reverberating in Nebuchadnezzar’s palace, saying, “Go up and destroy the House of your Master, whose children [Israel] do not listen to Him”.
Nebuchadnezzar was initially afraid, fearing such anti-semitism would bring him a curse. Yet, in the end, he decided to comply, and went on to do God’s bidding. Thus, he sent his general (Nebuzaradan), in order to destroy Jerusalem.
Concerning the latter, Rava said: Nebuchadnezzar sent to Nebuzaradan three hundred mules laden with iron axes that cut iron. All of them were incapacitated in the attempt to breach one gate of Jerusalem, as it is stated: “And now they pound its carved work together with hatchet and with hammers” (Psalm 74:6).
Nebuzaradan sought to return to Babylonia and said: I am afraid. I want to ensure that they will not do to me just as they did to Sennacherib, whose downfall was in Jerusalem.
A Divine Voice emerged and said: Leaper, son of a leaper; Nebuzaradan, take the leap, as the time has arrived for the Temple to be destroyed and the Sanctuary to burn. One ax remained for him to use. He went and struck the gate with the dull end of the ax and it opened, as it is stated:
“He became known as the wielder of axes upward in a thicket of trees” (Psalms 74:5). At the appropriate time the gate was breached as though the ax were cutting trees.
He was proceeding and killing until he reached the Sanctuary. When he reached the Sanctuary, he ignited a fire in it. The Sanctuary rose, seeking to enter Heaven so that it would not burn. 
They trod upon it from Heaven, and returned it to its place, as it is stated: “The Lord has trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress” (Lamentations 1:15).
Nebuzaradan became haughty, taking pride in his conquest. A Divine Voice emerged and said to him: Your haughtiness is unwarranted, as you killed a nation that was already dead, you burned a Sanctuary that was already burned, and you ground flour that was already ground, as it is stated with regard to Babylonia: “Take millstones and grind flour; uncover your locks, tuck up the train, uncover the leg, pass over rivers” (Isaiah 47:2). 
It was not stated: Grind wheat, but “grind flour”, indicating that all the destruction had already been wrought by God himself [and the role played by the anti-Semites was insignificant].

How are our sins forgiven?

Whence we get that sincere repentance is the way to have our sins removed? We get it from the verse that goes on to say: «As far as the mizrach (east) is from the ma’arav (west), so far hath He removed peysha’einu (our transgressions) from us»- Psalm 103:12. But, where are the east and the west? And (more importantly), how far is the one from the other? The answer is that “east” and “west”, are no particular places, but rather two opposite directions which we can choose to follow. We could be heading East, but in the moment we stop, and make a 180 degree turn (in order to start traveling in the opposite direction), we would have bridged the gap (covering the distance) between East and West.
And that’s exactly how the Almighty removes (pardons) our sins, as soon as we recognize that we are heading in the wrong direction (away from God, with our constant transgression of His commandments) and decide to make a 180 degree turn, starting to walk in the opposite direction. The name we give to the latter is “sincere repentance”– and it means to have a contrite heart; to abandon evil, and start doing goodness.
This is God’s true sacrifice; not that of a human Messiah, nor that of an animal beast, but rather the sacrifice of our selfish ego (our “Yetzer ha-ra”, or “evil inclination”). And this is why Scripture says:
«For you don’t want sacrifices, or I would give them; you don’t take pleasure in burnt offerings. My sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God, you won’t spurn a broken, chastened heart»- Psalm 51:16-17; And also says, «Hashem is near unto them whose lev (heart) is broken; and saveth such whose ruach (spirit) is contrite»-Psalm34:18;
And still in another place: «With what can I come before Adonai to bow down before God on high? Should I come before him with burnt offerings? with calves in their first year? Would Adonai take delight in thousands of rams with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Could I give my firstborn to pay for my crimes, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?” Human being, you have already been told what is good, what Adonai (God) demands of you – no more than to act justly (with your fellow human being), love grace (doing mercy) and walk in purity (humility) with your God»- Micah 6:8.
Thus, mankind redemption doesn’t come from any human Mashiach, but rather from sincere repentance. In fact, that spirit of repentance is in itself God’s true Mashiach, as the Scripture confirms by saying: «And the Go’el (Redeemer, Mashiach) shall come to Tziyon, and unto them that make teshuva (sincere repentance) and turn from peysha (rebellion) in Ya’akov, saith Hashem»- Isaiah 59:20.
Notice that the verse doesn’t say that Mashiach will come unto those who believe in him, but rather unto those who make Teshuva (repent). Why? Because the fact is that “Teshuva” is actually “Mashiach”! The latter being confirmed by a Midrash (Sanh. 98a) that promises the Mashiach will come TODAY… “if we hear His voice, and Harden not our hearts… (in other words, if we proceed to sincere repentance)”- Psalm 95:7-8.

He who shows mercy to the poor and needy will be counted as having fulfilled God’s Law [all of it!]

Hebrew Scripture states that he who shows mercy to the poor and the needy [thereby delivering the latter from pain and suffering] will himself be granted mercy [so that he too experiences deliverance from pain and suffering].
As is written: “Happy is he that considereth the poor; the Lord will deliver him in the day of evil [the day of Judgment!]”- Psalm 41:2 (Jewish Publication Society, 1917 Edition).
Thus, it can be properly said that, in the eyes of the Almighty, he who shows mercy to the poor and needy is counted as innocent [in other words, as having fulfilled all of the Law!].
Whence do we know it? We know it from the passage where God instructs the man bringing his tithes to the needy (the widows, the orphans, the strangers, and the priest) to proclaim that he has thereby obeyed ALL of God’s commandments. As is written:
«When thou hast made an end of tithing… and hast given it unto the Levite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow… then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God: “I have put away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow… I have not transgressed any of Thy commandments [not just this one concerning the tithe, but none of them!], neither have I forgotten them… I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God, I have done according to all that Thou hast commanded me [in your holy Law]”»- Deut. 26:12-14 (JPS, 1917 Edition).
Curiously, the Christian writings seem to support the former interpretation, when they go on to quote Jesus (may peace and blessings be upon him) saying the following:
«Then shall the King say unto those on his right hand, “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry, and ye gave me food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in» (Matthew 25:34-35, Jubilee Bible 2000).

«In general terms, the philosophy of Ethical Monotheism (also know as Reformed Samaritanism”) can be described as follows: “Push away [with your left hand] any Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or secular tenet [or practice] that denies, contradicts, or undermines the Law of ‘sowing and reaping’ (the common sense idea that man is bound to ‘reap’ the same moral ‘fruit’ he has voluntarily ‘planted’ during his earthly life); But bring closer to you [with your right hand] any Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or secular tenet [or practice] that recognizes, establishes, or encourages the Law of Sowing and reaping [also known as ‘Measure for measure’, ‘Cause and effect’, ‘Action and reaction’, ‘What goes around comes around’, etc]”»

What do we Believe?

We believe the following:

–That the God of Israel is only One [yet all encompassing] Supreme Being; that He is morally perfect;

–That He has no bias in favor [or against] any nation, any race, nor any creed;

— That He never fails to fulfill what He has already promised;

–That He judges man with perfect justice [letting everyone “reap” the same amount of goodness (or evil) he has willingly and voluntarily “planted” upon his fellow creature];

–That the ultimate purpose of God’s Law isn’t for us to acquire “the right theology” [nor to perfectly fulfill each one of it’s commandments], but rather that we embrace Godly moral values [yielding “the good fruit” of justice, mercy, and humility that pleases the Holy One]– Thus, no matter if a man is a Jew, a Muslim, a Christian, or a Samaritan, as long as his lifestyle incorporates what was commanded upon the two stone tablets, Adonay [the lord Almighty] considers him to be part of His holy people (God’s mystical Israel);

–That God doesn’t need the [literal] help of any other being;

–That although God has used many prophets and messengers (Noah, Job, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad, etc) in order to call humanity back to the path of righteousness, our master Moses is God’s supreme messenger;

–That God’s Law (the five books of Torah) is like the heavens [bound to last until the end of time];

–That God offers free forgiveness to all who would proceed to sincere repentance [starting to do goodness, and departing from moral corruption];

–That the tales, rites, ordinances, and statutes listed in the Torah are in fact allegorical representations of far greater [moral and spiritual] realities;

–That God doesn’t actually suffer from physical [or character] limitations (like lusting for our praise, our love, and our recognition– or having hands, feet, eyes, tiredness, anger, regret, doubts, vengeance, etc);

–That our souls were created [in the heavenly realm] far before we were sent into our physical World;

–That, just as it is intimated by the story of Joseph, right before coming into our physical World [which is a sort of “Spiritual Egypt”], our souls dreamed with “ascending” unto a far greater [and exalted] spiritual position– one that would enable us to better glorify the Almighty. Thus, we willingly chose to come into a world of suffering, once we had chosen what kind of temptations, trials and physical limitations we would like to endure [and thereby conquer];

–That once we get out of this physical world, our soul will go back into it’s Heavenly realm, in order to evaluate it’s journey, and [with the assistance of our spiritual parents] finally decide whether it has achieve the desired moral stature, or whether it needs to come back again, in order to “purge” [as if by fire] any lingering love for evil and/or moral corruption.
–Finally, our confession of faith is the following:
«Oh יהוה (Adonai Yah), Lord God of Abraham, I bear witness that there’s no other God, King nor Savior greater than you; I bear witness that there’s no prophet greater than our master Moses; nor any Law greater than Your Ten Commandments (or Sayings); I bear witness that there’s no other Scripture greater that Moses Five Books of Torah (the Pentateuch); nor is there other people greater than the one allegorically portrayed by the ancient Hebrew People. And I bear witness that no theology is greater, more truthful, more meaningful, more fair, nor more just than “the Law of Measure for Measure” (“Sowing and Reaping”)– to reward each person with the same measure of goodness he has [freely and voluntarily] bestowed upon his needy fellow creature; and to punish him with the same measure of evil he has bestowed upon his fellow creatures [without ever repenting from it]. I thank you heavenly Father, for you have seen my broken heart, and have heard my prayer, thereby forgiving all of my sins. And I also thank you for making me as of today part of your chosen People; the Holy people allegorically portrayed by the ancient Nation of Israel. Amen

«In general terms, the philosophy of Ethical Monotheism (also know as Reformed Samaritanism”) can be described as follows: “Push away [with your left hand] any Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or secular tenet [or practice] that denies, contradicts, or undermines the Law of ‘sowing and reaping’ (the common sense idea that man is bound to ‘reap’ the same moral ‘fruit’ he has voluntarily ‘planted’ during his earthly life); But bring closer to you [with your right hand] any Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or secular tenet [or practice] that recognizes, establishes, or encourages the Law of Sowing and reaping [also known as ‘Measure for measure’, ‘Cause and effect’, ‘Action and reaction’, ‘What goes around comes around’, etc]”»

There’s more than just one path to serve the Almighty!

Though displaying widely different heights, all mountains will bring us closer to heaven. And the former might be the reason why the world’s greatest religions are always associated with mountains (mount Sinai, mount Calvary, mount Hirah, etc).
Thus, “the mountain” we choose to climb is of secondary importance… what really matters, is that we make it to it’s summit. And the former explains why our master Moses hinted at the fact that God doesn’t seem to ask, “How much is five plus five?” Why? Because He knows the latter would convey the false idea that, when it comes to answering God’s call to righteousness, there’s just one valid answer.
Instead, The Holy One asks, “How can you reach a total of Ten? (number ten being understood as God’s Ten commandments– therefore, a symbol of our obedience to God’s will). Why is God portrayed asking the latter question? Because it conveys the idea of multiple [and equally valid] answers. In other words, “Ten” can be achieved by adding seven plus three; eight plus two; nine plus one; fifteen minus five; etc.

«In essentials, unity; In non-essentials, tolerance; In all things, the Divine love that embraces both justice, mercy, and humility»

Hebrew Scripture’s message has little to do with religious affiliation

Ethical Monotheism teaches that Hebrew Scripture’s ultimate message has little to do with religious affiliation. Rather, it’s message is all about “Sowing and reaping”; “Cause and effect”; “Action and reaction”; “What goes around, comes around”– That if you resolve to make peace with the Creator, the Creator will resolve to make peace with you.
And from whence do we know it? We know it from the verse that goes on to say: “Therefore tell the people: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Return to me,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will return to you,’ says the Lord Almighty”- Zechariah 1:3-4, New International version Bible.
And elsewhere, “For the day of the Lord (the day of His judgment) is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head”- Obadiah 1:15, English Standard Version.
And even the Gospel quotes Jesus preaching the same message of “Sowing and Reaping”, when it goes on to say: “But if you do not forgive people their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins”- Matthew 6:15, Evangelical Heritage Version.
In fact, even the apostle Paul couldn’t resist the urge to proclaim the Supremacy of “Sowing and Reaping”, when he went on to say: “Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows he will also reap”- Galatians 6:7, Christian Standard Bible.
And also in another place: “He (God) will repay each one according to his works…There will be [evil] affliction and distress for every human being who does evil… but [good] glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does what is good…”- Romans 2:6-10, Christian Standard Bible

Those who follow Torah’s moral imperative are enjoined to find the balanced (mid-way) position

Torah (God’s Law) hints at the idea that, in all things, man ought to aim at finding the wise and healthy balance (the mid way position). Thus, the prudent person avoids all sort of extreme (fundamentalist) positions, no matter if they have to do with political, economical, scientific, religious, or even secular fundamentalism. And that’s why the Tanakh portrays King David as asking the Almighty not to give him too much, nor too little, but rather a balanced amount. As it has been said:
“… Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with mine allotted bread; Lest I be full, and deny, and say: ‘Who is the LORD?’, Or lest I be poor, and steal, and profane the name of my God”- Proverbs 30:8-9 (Jewish Publication Society, 1917 Edition).
Thus, when it comes to the Divine commandments, we ought to seek a healthy balance: neither exaggerate our obedience to them [pretending to fulfill the impossible task of obeying all of the 613 laws], nor to totally disregard them. Rather, we must keep a healthy [and practical] balance, where we obey as many as we can, while giving priority to what the Almighty himself has given priority– the Ten Supreme principles printed by the Holy One upon the two stone tablets given to our master Moses. Why? because what is written upon stone, is meant to last forever.
And the same goes with whether we should do good, or whether we shouldn’t do good– we must try to abstain from all radical extremes (“Be not righteous overmuch; neither make thyself overwise; why shouldest thou destroy thyself? Be not overmuch wicked, neither be thou foolish; why shouldest thou die before thy time?”- Ecclesiastes 7:16-17, J.P.S. 1917 edition); Seek instead the balance! Do good (i.e., honor your parents) AND abstain from doing evil (i.e., from cheating your brothers and sisters).
And the fact that Adonay Yah wants the Hebrew believer to experience a balanced life, was always intimated by His Holy Law, as the latter would allow you to eat meat, yet it won’t allow you to eat ALL kind of meat (i.e., Pork)…
… It would allow you to marry, But it won’t allow you to marry ALL types of people (i.e. your sister)…
… It would allow you to work, but it won’t allow you to work ALL days of the week (i.e, Sabbath)…
… It would allow you to offer animal sacrifices, but it won’t allow you to sacrifice ALL type of animals (i.e., predators)…
… It would allow you to engage on business, but it won’t allow you to engage on ALL sort of businesses (i.e., Usury)
… It would allow you to plant your field (so you can grow food), but it won’t allow you to keep ALL of the food (as you are commanded to let the poor eat from what grows in the corners of your field)…
… It would allow you to buy property, but it won’t allow you to keep all of your property (as after 50 years you are commanded to returned the purchased property to it’s original owner).
In short, God’s Law enjoined the believer to live a balanced life, avoiding radical extremes, as well as thinking in terms of “All, or Nothing”.
May peace be upon you!

“God seeketh that which is pursued [the morally upright person who is unjustly oppressed]” (Eccles. 3:15)

The Holy One always demands satisfaction from pursuers for the blood of the pursued. You can see that this is so, for Abel was pursued by Cain, and the Holy One chose Abel, as may be inferred from, “The Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering” (Gen. 4:4).
Noah was pursued by his generation, and the Holy One chose none but Noah, as He Himself said, “For thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation” (Gen. 7:1).
Abraham was pursued by Nimrod, and the Holy One chose Abraham, as Scripture says, “Thou art the Lord, the God who didst choose Abraham” (Neh. 9:7).
Isaac was pursued by the Philistines, and the Holy One chose Isaac, as inferred from the Philistines’ saying, “We saw plainly that the Lord was with thee” (Gen. 26:28). Jacob was pursued by Esau, and the Holy One chose Jacob, as Scripture says, “For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto Himself” (Psalm 135:4).
Joseph was pursued by his brothers, and the Holy One chose Joseph, as inferred from, “He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony”- Psalm 81:6 (NOTE: In the Hebrew, the exceptional spelling “Yehoseph” is taken to mean that God inserted the letter he, one of the letters of His name, to show that He had chosen Joseph [Yosef]).
Moses was pursued by Pharaoh, and the Holy One chose Moses, as the verse indicates, “Had not Moses His chosen stood before Him” (Psalm 106:23).
Saul was pursued by the Philistines, and the Holy One chose Saul, as is said, “See ye him whom the Lord has chosen” (1 Sam. 10:24).
David was pursued by Saul, and the Holy One chose David, as the verse indicates, “He chose David also His servant” (Psalm 78:70).

Who is a true and complete believer?

No one is a complete [and fulfilled] Hebrew believer, until he can “bow down” before יהוה (the God of Abraham, blessed be He), leaving his selfish and self-centered ego at the feet of the Almighty–
He won’t be the Almighty’s faithful servant, until he [or she] can open-up his heart, and sincerely ask the Holy One:
“Master of the Universe, please forgive my former rebellious lifestyle. I no longer wish to live for the sake of pleasing my own ego [satisfying each and everyone of my whims and desires]…
… Instead, I want to be your humble servant, letting you be my Lord, King, and Redeemer. Please help me, for though I am weak and flawed, I sincerely wish that your will [and not mine] be done in my life…
… Help me obey your commandments, so that, thru my obedience to them, I may praise your name until the day when you finally let me reach your Heavenly Canaan. Amen”.

 

Has the Nation of Israel abandoned the Hebrew faith? Have the Jews become “Children of Haman”, instead of “Children of Israel”?

Hebrew Scripture narrates the story of a Pagan prince who, after being offended by a commoner, not only wanted to punish the latter, but also wanted to eradicate his children, his grandchildren, as well as his whole people. Who was this prince? Haman… Who was the offending commoner? Mordecai… And what people did Haman want to destroy? The Jewish people.
Yet, being the pagan offspring of a pagan king (1 Samuel 15:8, & Esther 3:1), Haman didn’t know God’s Law forbade such “collective punishment”, as the Almighty had commanded Hebrew people to abide by the principle of “sowing and reaping” (a.k.a., “an eye for an eye”). As it is said: “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe”- Exodus 21:25 (KJV).
Thus, if a Canaanite (or “Philistine”) were to knock-out the tooth of an innocent Israelite (or “Jew”), only the tooth of such Philistine (Palestinian) could be knocked out, while the teeth of his relatives would have to be respected.
In addition, God’s Law prevented Hebrew people from holding the children of their enemies accountable for the sins of their parents (“The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin”- Deuteronomy 24:16).
Thus, although Mordecai dared to transgress against Haman, that wasn’t an automatic justification to murder Mordecai’s extended family (as God despises such pagan and immoral behavior).
Thus, when ancient Jews had a chance to avenge themselves, they didn’t dare to go beyond the bounds prescribed by God’s Law (dispossessing the innocent relatives of their slain enemies).
As it has been said: “For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand. But the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey”- Esther 9:15-16 (KJV).
And it is also written elsewhere: «And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father. But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the Law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin”- 2 Kings 14:5-6 (KJV).
Thus, whenever modern Israel implements a policy where, for each killed Israelite, 10 Palestinians are annihilated [by the Israeli army], we witness an Israel that no longer follows the basic tenets of the ancient Hebrew faith. Likewise, when Israel bulldozes the houses of suspected terrorists [thereby destroying their children’s inheritance], and engages in collective punishment, we witness an Israel that has embraced Haman’s [pagan] morality.
In fact, Israel’s abandonment of Hebrew religion is so thorough, that the sate of Israel formally demands that all of it’s citizens (females and transsexuals included) serve in the army– something completely forbidden by God’s Law, as well as by ancient Hebrew religion.
Whence we get the idea that neither females nor transsexuals are to serve in the army? We get it from the verse that goes on to say: “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God”- Deuteronomy 22:5.
And since male and female clothing were so similar [back in Moses time], Jewish sages interpreted the former as meaning that a woman was not to “wear a warriors attire” (serving in the army); neither was to do so he who was effeminated (or, “weakhearted”).
As it has been said– “…What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren’s heart faint as well as his heart”- Deuteronomy 20:8).
And the former is confirmed by Jewish Talmud, when it goes on to say: «Rabbi Eliezer ben Ya’akov says: From where is it derived that a woman may not go out with weapons to war? The verse states: “A woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, and a man shall not put on a woman’s garment”, (Deuteronomy 22:5) which indicates that a man may not adorn himself with the cosmetics and ornaments of a woman, and similarly a woman may not go out with weapons to war, as those are for the use of males»– Babylonian Talmud, Nazir 59a.

The man who, after witnessing the moral depravity of his fellow Hebrew believer, decides to remain silent, will be held responsible for the blood of the latter

When it comes to the issue of rebuking public sexual depravity, Hebrew Scripture is crystal clear, when it goes on to say the following: «And if a man lie with mankind (same sex intercourse), as with womankind, BOTH OF THEM HAVE COMMITTED ABOMINATION: THEY SHALL SURELY BE PUT TO DEATH; their blood shall be upon them… WHEN I SAY UNTO THE WICKED: “O WICKED MAN, THOU SHALT SURELY DIE”, AND THOU DOST NOT SPEAK TO WARN THE WICKED FROM HIS WAY; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT THY HAND. Nevertheless, IF THOU WARN THE WICKED OF HIS WAY TO TURN FROM IT, and he turn not from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but THOU HAST DELIVERED THY SOUL»- Leviticus 20:13, & Ezekiel 33:8-9 (Jewish Publication Society, 1917 Edition)»

«We don’t see things as they truly [and rightfully] are. Instead, we perceive them thru the faulty [and tainted] “mirror” of our exaggerated pride, our own sense of superiority, our bias against races and ideologies different from ours, our self-serving moral relativism, and our selfish [and often deranged] personal whims»

Bible’s Israel was just a paradigm!

Many people wrongly believe that the Hebrews mentioned in the Bible are a particular ethnic group arbitrarily elected by God in order to become His chosen people [having special privileges as well as special responsibilities]. How do we now that Bible’s Israel was instead a paradigm for God’s true people [those who are humble and merciful]? We know it from the verse that goes on to say: “God is indeed good to Israel, to the pure in heart”- Psalm 73:1. Whom does the verse identify as being Israel? The pure in heart [those who are humble and merciful]!
How else do we know that Israel is composed of anyone willing to serve the God of Abraham [having mercy of their suffering fellow human beings], regardless of his race? We know if from the verse that goes on to say: “No Ammonite or Moabite may enter the Lord’s assembly; none of their descendants, even to the tenth generation, may ever enter the Lord’s assembly”- Deut. 23:3. Why were Moabites prevented from entering Israel’s assembly? It was due to their lack of mercy, as is written: “This is because they did not meet you with food and water on the journey after you came out of Egypt”- Deut. 23:4.
But the fact is that we later find a Moabite (Ruth) not only entering Israel’s assembly, but even becoming the ancestor of Israel greatest king (David). How do we explain that a forbidden Moabite is allowed to enter Israel’s Congregation, thereby becoming an Israelite? We explain it by remembering that the Moabite was just a symbol for a person lacking mercy and humility, while the Israelite represented the person having a pure heart filled with mercy and humility.
Thus, the very moment Ruth decided to show mercy to her foreign [and recently] widowed mother in law [remaing by her side, in order to provide for her well being and safety], she stopped representing a Moabite, and started to become a living representation of God’s true Israel (“Everything you have done for your mother-in-law since your husband’s death has been fully reported to me: how you left your father and mother and your native land, and how you came to a people you didn’t previously know. May the Lord reward you for what you have done, and may you receive a full reward from the Lord God of Israel…”- Ruth 2:11-12).

Why do so many people (including Jews!) hate the Jews?

The reason why so many modern people hate the Jews is the very same reason why ancient Jews used to hate other Jews. You see, religious and non-religious Jews have always existed, and these two groups have always struggled [and hated] one another. Thus, ancient Jewish people were divided into two different [and opposing] camps– The pious [southern] kingdom of Judah, and the wicked [northern] kingdom of Israel.
And southern Jews lived in an constant state of war against the northern Jews. Why? Because the northern kingdom had abandoned God’s Law [thereby turning away from godly morality], while the southern kingdom would hold fast to it.
Likewise, By by the start of the Christian era, we find that the observant Jewish leaders would display a high degree of animosity towards non-observant Jews. In fact, the Jewish Talmud refers to the latter using such pejoratives like “Am Ha Aretz”, and “Apikoros”.
What is “Am ha Aretz”? Well, it is a Hebrew expression that literally means “the people of the Land”. In other words, the uncouth, vulgar, ignorant, and boorish person whose life isn’t ruled by the moral principles depicted by God’s Law.
And what is “Apikoros”? It is a Greek term denoting he who, by his abominable conduct, denies the fundamental principle of religion (the existence of A Judge and a Judgment in the universe).
Therefore, whenever a self-proclaimed Jew denies the existence of God, embracing the immoral lifestyle that characterizes those who deny the existence of a Judge and a Judgment in the universe, such Jew makes himself liable to the hate [and scorn] of both Jews and gentiles alike.
In fact, even God himself despises such a Jew. As it has been stated:
As for the wicked [among the Jews], God says– “How dare you recite my statutes or speak about my covenant with your lips! You hate instruction and toss my words behind you. When you see a thief, you befriend him, and you keep company with adulterers. You give your mouth free reign for evil, and your tongue devises deceit. You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother’s son. These things you did, and I kept silent, because you assumed that I was like you. But now I am going to rebuke you, and I will set forth my case before your very own eyes. Consider this, you who have forgotten God— Otherwise, I will tear you in pieces and there will be no deliverer”- Psalm 50:16-22 (International Standard Version).
But, why should we focus upon the Jews? Isn’t it true that similar people exist among the Christianity and Muslim ranks? Of course they do… But neither Christians nor Muslims claim to be God’s [only] chosen people, nor to be so exceptionally great that Heaven and Earth were actually created for their sake.
As it has been said– «The verse, “But now thus said the Lord: Jacob created thee, Israel formed thee” (Isa. 43:1) means, so said Rabbi Phinehas in the name of Rabbi Reuven, that the Holy One said to His world: My World, My world, who created you? Who formed you? Jacob created you, Israel formed you. Rabbi Berekhia [hastened to explained]: Heaven and Earth were created only for the sake of Israel, for it is aid, “On account of the beginning God created” (Gen. 1:1), here by “the beginning” is meant Israel, of which Scripture says, “Israel is the Lord’s hallowed portion, the beginning of His harvest” (Jer. 2:3)»– Lev. R. 36:3; Yalkut, Isa., §452

Is Modern Judaism a valid path to the God of ancient Israel?

The Jewish faith is a perfectly valid way to serve the Almighty. Yet, aside from very rare exceptions, it isn’t far fetched to say that modern Jewish Religious establishment is to ancient Bible faith what a modern Reality show is to Reality– A textbook case of identity theft, wherein a shameless, hedonistic, lying, narcissistic, evil inclined, and psychopatic group of European peoples have craftily hijacked [by means of cultural appropriation] what used to be a holy [and respectable] religious identity.
Why would they do that? In order to use it as a convenient “shield” (or “lightning rod”), capable of protecting them from any criticism and/or rightful demand for moral accountability (In other words, by conveniently exploding the Bible verse that goes on to say, “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee”- Genesis 12:3).
Thus, White (Ashkenazi) Jews will expect Gentile people to remain silent, whenever a Jew blasphemes the Almighty with his open promotion of usury, self-deception, and sexual degeneracy; Yet they will immediately claim “fowl play!” (anti-semitism!) whenever a gentile demands Ashkenazi Jews to live up to their claim of being the true representatives of God’s Holy people; As the latter demands that they abide by the Scriptures that go on to say: “Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious”… “But let him who should praise himself praise himself in this: ‘in understanding me and knowing me, that I am יהוה (Adonai), who do mercy, judgment and justice on earth; because these things I want [men to do], says יהוה ‘ ”- Amos 5:14-15, Jeremiah 9:24

No oprimas al debil, al pobre, al desvalido, ni a la persona que es mas justa, misericordiosa, o humilde que tu

“Cuando naciere el becerro, el cordero, o la cabra…” – Lev. 22:27. El Santo de Israel dijo: “El becerro es perseguido por el león, la cabra por el leopardo, y la oveja por el lobo- no me ofrezcan a mi ninguno de los perseguidores, solo de los perseguidos”- (Lev. R. 27:5). Dijo el Rabino Abbahu: “el hombre debe siempre esforzarse por ser de los perseguidos, y no de los perseguidores, pues aunque entre las aves ninguna es mas perseguida que la tórtola y la paloma, solo estas fueron declaradas adecuadas para el altar”

«No estamos en este mundo para cumplir las expectativas de otras personas; ni las otras personas están para cumplir nuestras expectativas. Nuestra misión en este mundo, es hacer lo bueno; sea esto o no la expectativa de quienes nos rodean»

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 it 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

God’s Law teaches that a cruel Jew is a false Jew (a “Jew in name only”, or a “JINO”)

The foundational idea behind God’s Law (Torah) is that the Holy One wants all mankind to be engaged in “sowing goodness”. How? By showing kindness [and generosity] toward our needy fellow creatures.
Thus, a true believer is not only prevented from practicing usury; but he is also enjoined to let hungry people (the foreigner, the widow, the orphan, etc) feed from the produce growing in the corners of his fields; he is enjoined to let slaves go free (after six years of service); he is enjoined to pardon all outstanding debts; he is commanded to returned any purchased property after 50 years of use; he is enjoined to let his fields lie fallow every seven years, etc.
Therefore, no real [or sincere] Hebrew believer can hoard land, produce, resources, slaves, money, properties, or power, as the latter is not only a direct rebellion against the very spirit of God’s Law, but also a veiled form of idolatry.
And the former is attested by an ancient Jewish traditions that goes on to say– «Our masters taught: “As for those who hoard produce, lend money on interest, diminish measures, and raise prices, Scripture quotes such people as saying: ‘When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may set forth corn? Making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances of deceit’ ” (Amos 8:5).
And what follows directly? “The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob: ‘Surely I will never forget any of their works’ ” (Amos 8:7)» (Babylonian Talmud, Bava Batra 90b). And it is also stated elsewhere– We have been taught the Rabbi Joshua Ben Korhah said:
«He who shuts his eye to an appeal for alms is deemed to be the same as a worshiper of idols. For in one place it is written, “Beware that there be not a base thought in your heart… so that you are mean to your needy kinsman and give him nothing” (Deuteronomy 15:9); and elsewhere, “Certain base fellows are gone out from the midst of thee and have subverted the inhabitants of their town, saying, ‘Come, let us worship other gods’ ” (Deuteronomy 13:14). Even as the sin in the second instance is idolatry, so the sin in the first instance is idolatry» (Babylonian Talmud, Bava Batra 10a).

Who is great in the eyes of God?

Our dear brothers and sisters, Ethical Monotheism Reformed postulates that what makes a man “great” is God’s presence in his life; Conversely, what makes him “small” is God’s absence of it. And with whom does the Divine presence abide? With the Jews? With the Christians? With the Muslims? With the Samaritans? With those who believe in the Messiah? With those who keep the Sabbath?
No!…. The Creator dwells with those who are humble and broken-hearted, regardless of their race or creed. As it is written: «For thus saith the High and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit…”- Isaiah 57:15 (KJV).
And who are the ones destined to inherit the heavenly Canaan? The Jews? the Christians? the Muslims? No! It is reserved instead for the meek, and the humble (no matter their race or creed). As it is written: “But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace”- Psalm 37:11 (KJV).
And the former might explain the reason why God is presented as providing deliverance to the humble men of old (Enoch, Noah, Job, etc) even though we are nowhere told that they followed Judaism, Samaritanism, Christianity or Islam. May peace be upon you!

«Science [and for that sake, any sort of public information] is often craftily biased by powerful external interests. Thus, if your acceptance [or rejection] of any public information poses a risk of stumbling, make sure that you stumble “on the safe side”; in other words, that your decision let’s you fail in favor of your own moral and personal integrity [on the side of truthfulness, dignity, honor, integrity, justice, mercy, and humility]; and not in favor of the hidden agenda of any social, economical, political, or religious establishment»

Ethical Monotheists version of, “He who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted”

The story goes that, for three consecutive years, there was a dispute between the Jewish school of Shammai and the Jewish school of Hillel. The one said, “The Law is according to our interpretation”, while the other said, “No!, the Law is according to our interpretation”.
Then a Divine voice came forth, and it was heard proclaiming: “The edicts of both schools are the word of the living God, but the Law is according to the school of Hillel”.
But, if the edicts of both schools were the word of the living God, what merit did Hillel’s school have, in order for the Law to be established according to their interpretations? The answer is that, in addition to have good theology, Hillel’s disciples were kind and humble (in other words, their truth didn’t make them arrogant).
Thus, Hillel taught not only his own interpretations, but also those of Shammai. In fact, whenever instructing his disciples, Hillel would first teach them Shammai’s interpretations, and only after it would he proceed to teach them his own views concerning the subject. Not only that, but Hillel would let his followers intermarry Shammai’s disciples, even though he knew that would diminish his own numbers.
And the former goes to prove that, the man who makes himself small (not exalting himself above others) will be made great by the Creator; But, the one who magnifies himself, will be diminished by the Creator. How do we imitate the aptitude of the Hillel school? Easy! If you are a Hebrew believer, make a habit of [from time to time] pointing out how nice and uplifting are some of the songs composed by our Christian brothers. Likewise, point out how united and humble can Muslim believers often be. If you are instead a Christian believer, you might commend the chaste attire of the female Muslim believers, or how wise and deep are some of the old Jewish legends. Conversely, if you are Muslim you could mention how similar to yours is Hebrew monotheism, or how similar to yours was the commitment of the early Christians, who were willing to die for their faith. By doing the former, you will earn merit and please your Creator; not only by speaking truth, but better yet by become a living example of the meekness and humility such truth is supposed to forge into our lives.

Who is really powerful?

The most powerful of all, is he who [with his kindness], can turn into friends those whom, until that moment, had been his enemies. Who is an example of this? The prophet Elisha, who turned into friends the enemy soldiers (Syrians) who had gone out to entrap him (2nd Kings 6:8-23)

What is God’s Law (Torah) ultimate purpose?

Torah’s ultimate aim isn’t that we become proud and arrogant, boasting about how awesome our Hebrew theology is, or how weak [and poor] it’s non-Hebrew counterpart might seem to be. Rather, Torah’s goal is for mankind to understand that, what God really wants from us, is that we commit ourselves with a life of goodness– with the pursuit of mercy, fair judgment, righteousness, and humility. Why? Because these are the things that please the Almighty, therefore bringing blessings upon our lives. As it has been said,
“And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD; that it may be well with thee… Thus saith the LORD: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches; But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth, and knoweth Me, that I am the LORD who exercise mercy, justice, and righteousness, in the earth; for in these things I delight, saith the LORD…
… It hath been told thee, O man, what is good, and what the LORD doth require of thee: only to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God…
… Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him, and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy healing shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee, the glory of the LORD shall be thy rearward. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD will answer; thou shalt cry, and He will say: ‘Here I am’. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedness; And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in darkness, and thy gloom be as the noon-day; And the LORD will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make strong thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not…
… Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before Mine eyes, cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land”- Deuteronomy 6:18, Jeremiah 9:22-23, Micah 6:8, Isaiah 58:7-11, Isaiah 1:16-19 (Jewish Publication Society, 1917 Edition).

«Whether he be a Jew, or a Gentile, no man can consider himself to be wise until he learns to appreciate the worth of constructive criticism. As it has been said: “Don’t correct the impudent, or they will hate you; CORRECT THE WISE, AND THEY WILL LOVE YOU”- Proverbs 9:8 (Common English Bible)»

Goodness saves from death

On one occasion, a Hebrew sage and a Persian astrologer were together, sitting in the same place. Then, they saw that some people were going out to the meadow (to look for firewood). At that moment, the Persian astrologer pointed his finger at one of them, and said: “That man leaves here, but he will not return, for he will be bitten by a snake, and he will die”.
Hearing this, the Hebrew sage replied: “If he is a man of virtue, he will go out and come back”. While they were still sitting there, the man who had left returned. Then the Persian astrologer, getting up, removed the bundle of wood that the man was carrying, and there he discovered a snake, which had been cut into two pieces.
The Hebrew sage then asked the man: “What goodness have you done?” (which has allowed you to “cut” the evil decree issued by the stars against you). The man replied: “Those of us who go for firewood usually contribute a portion of the bread that we collectively eat. But today, one of ours had no bread to contribute. Thus (so that he wouldn’t feel ashamed) I decided to collect each one’s bread; and, when I got to this man, I threw into the basket a piece of bread that I pretended to take from his hands ”.
After hearing his words, the Hebrew sage said to the man: “You have done a thing worthy of a good Samaritan!”. From that day forward, the Hebrew sage began to explain the verse that says: “…justice (mercy) delivers from death” (Prov. 10:2) as meaning that works of mercy not only deliver from unnatural death, but from any form of death (even supernatural ones!)

What is your baseline for reality?

Each man is free to decide what will he [or she] use as his personal baseline for reality; Religion, science, politics, economical forces, social movements, gender classifications, racial identity, emotions, out of body experiences, etc.
But as for those who have chosen to follow the religious philosophy known as “Reformed Samaritanism”, their baseline for reality is to be found in the Divine natural order– In the common sense idea that, in the final analysis, nothing [and nobody] escapes from the Law of “Cause, and effect”; “Action, and reaction; “Sowing, and reaping”; “What goes around, comes around”, etc.
And the logical implication of the former tenet is that, the things we would not like to “reap” into our own lives (to be abused, to be unjustly treated, to be hated, cheated, victimized by opportunists, etc) are the same things we must try to never “sow” into the life of our fellow creatures. Likewise, the things we would like to “reap” into our lives (love, encouragement, humble respect, consideration, fair and just treatment, honesty, good and wise advise, etc), are the very things we should strive to “sow” into our fellow creatures.

«Jerusalem was destroyed because men of integrity were no longer found there, as is said: “Roam the streets of Jerusalem, search it’s squares, look about and take note: You will not find a man –not a one– who acts justly, who seeks integrity, that I may pardon her”- Jeremiah 5:1 (Babylonian Talmud, Shab. 119b)… Jerusalem was destroyed because it’s inhabitants did not reprove one another, as is said: “Her princes are become like harts that find no pasture”- Lamentations 1:6. Like harts, each of whose head is beside the tail of the one before it, so did Israel of that generation keep their faces looking toward the ground and not reprove one another (Ibid)»

"Mere knowledge causes people to become puffed up and vain (in other words, to bear themselves loftily, and be proud); but love and humility (affection, goodwill, and benevolence) edifies and builds up [encouraging us to outgrow our selfish and self-centered mindset, thereby becoming real human beings]"

The Hebrew Bible is true, but not the way you’ve been told!

The Hebrew Bible is a book of prophecy, as well as moral paradigms intended to cleanse the human soul. But these paradigms are cleverly summarized as simplified statements and narratives. For example, Scripture tells us that the mouth of those who speak lies, will be shut (“… for the mouths of liars will be shut”- Psalm 63:11).
How can we accept this statement as fact, when each of us certainly knows more than one liar whose mouth no man [nor god] seems to be able to shut? Again, the former verse wasn’t intended to be taken in a literal sense; it’s intention was to convey a moral lesson- that, when a person gets used to repeating a lie concerning any particular issue, that lie holds such a strong grip upon him that, if in the future someone else tries to show him the truth, the former won’t be able to “swallow it” [just a if his mouth had been shut!].
Another example could be the fact that, according to Genesis 3:1, the serpent was the shrewdest of all creatures [so shrewd that he outsmarted Adam and Eve!]. Does this means that the Bible teaches animals can actually talk? Not at all! It just means that intelligence alone doesn’t amount to kindness; it means that knowledge has little to do with humanity; that a person can have plenty of secular, scientific, or even religious knowledge, and still be no more than [the moral equivalent of] “a talking animal”.
Actually, notice how the serpent’s claim was correct (Adam and Eve wouldn’t die if they were to eat from the forbidden fruit). But what Adam and Eve failed to grasp was that their happiness wasn’t the result of knowing the cold facts of life; it was the product of having a personal relationship with God; one in which they honor Him as their Creator, and obey Him as their father. In fact, cold facts alone would [in the end] leave them both feeling “naked” and “shamed”.
As a last example, Scripture says that Israel couldn’t defeat it’s pagan enemies, as they had “iron chariots” (“And the Lord was with Judah; and he drove out the inhabitants of the mountain, BUT COULD NOT DRIVE OUT THE INHABITANTS OF THE VALLEY, BECAUSE THEY HAD CHARIOTS OF IRON”- Judges 1:19). Does the former verse implies that Israel’s God was powerless against the advanced pagan weaponry? Not at all! It simply means that there were still some righteous men dwelling among those pagan nations [and these men would prove to be a better security against God’s impending judgment than any iron chariots could ever be!].
And from whence do we know that righteous men are compared to mighty chariots? We know it from the verse that goes on to say: «… Behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. AND ELISHA SAW IT, AND HE CRIED, “MY FATHER [ELIJAH], MY FATHER [ELIJAH], [YOU ARE LIKE] THE CHARIOT OF ISRAEL, AND THE HORSEMEN THEREOF”»- 2 Kings 2:11-12.
And from whence do we know that God will delay a nations judgment until their righteous men are gone from their midst? We know it from the verse that goes on to say: “Haste thee [oh Lot], ESCAPE THITHER; FOR I CANNOT DO ANYTHING [CONCERNING SODOM’S DESTRUCTION] TILL THOU BE COME THITHER [TO ZOAR]… The sun was risen upon the earth WHEN LOT ENTERED INTO ZOAR. THEN THE LORD RAINED UPON SODOM AND UPON GOMORRAH BRIMSTONE AND FIRE…”- Genesis 19:22-24.
Finally, Torah tells us that Israel murmured against both God and Moses (“AND THE PEOPLE SPOKE AGAINST GOD AND AGAINST MOSES…”- Numbers 21:5). And the punishment for their murmuring was that poisonous snakes started to bite them (“THEN THE LORD SENT POISONOUS SNAKES AMONG THE PEOPLE, AND THEY BIT THEM…”- Numbers 21:6).
Is this story intended to be understood in a literal sense? What does murmuring against other persons has to do with snakes? The answer to these questions is that the former narrative aims at teaching us how inescapable the law of “measure for measure” (also known as “sowing and reaping”, or “eye for an eye”) is. In other words, it tries to remind us that God will force us to “reap” the same “goodness” [or evil] we have sowed. In our case, just as the Israelites had injured Moses with “the venom” [or “gossip”] coming out of their mouths, they too eventually found themselves being injured by the venom coming out of someone else mouth (that is, the serpent’s mouth).

“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you”- Exodus 20:12

If you cannot come to terms with the cold facts dictate by your genetics, and the objective [and immutable] reality imposed upon you by your biological sex, then there’s no fault in you getting professional advise and/or psychological help. But, for your own sake, please stop putting your parents to public shame with your open homosexual behavior


Is the Creator pleased with modern day Jewish Religion?

Just as it happens with all other monotheistic religions, the Jewish faith is a perfectly valid path to seek the God of Abraham. Yet the latter doesn’t mean the Holy One is automatically pleased with most [let alone all] Jewish people. Why? Because God’s own religion is “results oriented” (“for them that honor me, I will honor, and they that despise me, shall be despised”- 1 Samuel 2:30, 1599 Geneva Bible). In fact, Jewish Scripture tells us that [in the past] God has been so angry with the Jewish people, that has repeatedly exiled them out of the Land, and into the slaughterhouse.
Why? Because, being “chosen” by the Almighty doesn’t automatically erase their stiff-neck [rebellious] nature. As it has been said: “I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people” (Deuteronomy 9:13, 1599 Geneva Bible).
Consider the following example: Hebrew Scripture tells that, as soon as prophet Jeremiah warned the Jews concerning God’s punishment for their immoral behavior, they tried to kill him («Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that THE PRIESTS AND THE PROPHETS AND ALL THE PEOPLE LAID HOLD ON HIM, SAYING: “THOU SHALT SURELY DIE…”»- Jeremiah 26:8-9, Jewish Publication society, 1917 Edition).
Why would the Jews try to kill God’s prophet? There are no less than two possible reasons:

(1) They still were stiff-necked people
(2) They had the collective mindset of a spoiled brat

And the latter option can be understood in light of the fact that Jews were constantly called “the CHILDREN of Israel” (“And THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years- Judges 6:1, Jewish Publication society, 1917 Edition).

Why were they called “CHILDREN”? Because, just like “Children” (spoiled little brats), they lacked the wisdom [and maturity] to handle any form of constructive criticism (shutting it instead with foolish and childish claims of incipient “Antisemitism”). And whence we know that they were a crooked and perverse generation (spoiled brats)? We know it from the Jewish Scripture that goes on to say: “[God is] The Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice; a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is He. IS CORRUPTION HIS? NO; HIS CHILDREN’S IS THE BLEMISH; A GENERATION CROOKED AND PERVERSE”- Deuteronomy 32:4-5, Jewish Publication Society, 1917 Edition.
In short, Judaism is a perfectly valid religion. And, in the hands of a pious crowd, Judaism can become a city of spiritual refuge (an awesome path that can offer a world of Divine wisdom, peace of spirit, and fortitude of mind). But, in the hands of a leadership with no scruples left, normative Judaism can be turned into a city of criminal, rebellious, and degenerated people. As it has been said: “How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers”- Isaiah 1:21 (King James Bible).
May the Almighty have mercy of all Jewish people!

 

Who is a Son of The World to Come?

No person will be granted a permanent share in the World to come, unless such person sincerely strives to be honest, meek, and humble– showing shame and remorse for the pride and brazen deception implied in a life of open rebelliousness (a lifestyle of self-exaltation, injustice, and immorality)

Do you feel harassed by Secular Jews and their godless Marxist ideology? If so, don't curse the darkness; Rather, turn on a light!

If you consider yourself a God fearing person, beware not to fall into the trap of enlarging Jewish mischief to the point of making secular Jews seem like evil and invincible gods (as the latter would not only works to their advantage, but would amount to superstitious idolatry).
Besides, it will make you look fearful, weak, and hopeless [things unbecoming to anyone claiming to stand on the side of truth and justice; or claiming to know there’s a supreme God, who will eventually punish the wicked, and reward the righteous]. Thus, if you want to defeat evil, do it with goodness.
In other words, if you want to defeat the Gay agenda, don’t promote any business owned by openly gay people (Facebook, Apple, L’Oreal, etc); If you want to defeat banker’s usury, do not take loans from any bank; if you want to defeat public school indoctrination, choose to home school your children;
if you want to defeat the Jewish media brainwashing, don’t buy the newspaper, and put your TV in the trash can; If you want to defeat atheism, make a routine of praying at home with your family, and always go out wearing a religious symbol (a cross, a crescent moon, a menorah, etc);
If you want to defeat tyranny, make sure you get a rifle (or a shotgun) with which you can protect your family (as well as yourself); If you want to defeat Monsanto GMO meat poisoning, buy only non GMO products, raise your own chickens, fast one or two days a week, or become a vegetarian.
Above all, strive to obey God’s ten commandments, as this will give you such a moral uplift, such peace of mind, and such an interior strength, that Jewish evil [or for that sake, any other sort of evil] will seem like amounting to little more than nothing

Ethical Monotheism viewpoint concerning the salvation of Mankind

Hebrew Scripture states that God’s Law was initially revealed to Moses in the Hebrew tongue.
But Anyone with even a minimal knowledge of the Hebrew language knows that ancient Hebrew was a very imprecise language, as it contained no vowels, no accents, no periods, no commas, no exclamation signs, no upper case, no question marks, etc. How could Bible’s message ever be accurately preserved by means of such an imprecise language?
Can a good sword be made out of bad iron? The answer to this question is that Bible’s true message (a life of holiness, where we sow the good we wish to eventually reap) is so simple and so self evident that not even a fool can err from it [so no precise language was ever needed!].
As is written: «… and it shall be called “The way of holiness”; the unclean shall not pass over it… THE WAYFARING MEN, THOUGH FOOLS, SHALL NOT ERR THEREIN»- Isaiah 35:8.
And also in another place: “Turn from evil, and do good [to your innocent fellow human beings]; so you may live forever”- Psalm 37:27, Tree Of Life Version.
In fact, Hebrew scripture states that, as soon as God created Adam, He placed him in a garden, so he could till the land. As is written: “The Lord God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden to work it …”- Genesis 2:15 (Christian standard Bible). But, why did Adam have to work any land? Didn’t he already have the world’s food supply at his disposal?
The reason was that, the first thing God wanted Adam to learn was that mankind’s well being would depend upon it’s recognition of the fact that, the World we humans have been introduced to, works upon the principle of “sowing and reaping” (cause and effect, action and reaction, what goes around, comes around).
As is written; “… Mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands”- Isaiah 65:22; “As you have done, it will be done to you…“- Obadiah 1:15; And also, “… As I have done, so God has repaid me”- Judges 1:7. And finally says, “… The Lord rewards each of us according to what we do”- Psalm 62:12 (C.E.V.).
The truth is that ancient men of God (Enoch, Noah, Job, Abraham, Joseph, etc) had no [Sacred] written scripture available, yet they perfectly knew God’s will for their lives, thereby earning God’s approval.
In other words, God’s will for Abraham was self evident to him (“For I know him [Abraham], that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment …”- Gen. 18:19).

 

And this will was none but to to fear God, living a life of righteousness in which we sow upon our fellow human beings the goodness we wish to reap for ourselves.
It was only after mankind had lost it’s capability to understand God’s wisdom imprinted in the divine book of Nature (the law of “sowing and reaping”) that the Creator had to start giving mankind an endless amount of written scriptures (Torah, prophets, Psalms, Proverbs, Gospel, Talmud, Quran, Sunnah, etc).
In short, God’s creation (nature) is His supreme revelation; God’s own unchangeable Word, eternally written in the Heavens. As it has been said: “Lord, YOUR WORD IS FOREVER; IT IS FIRMLY FIXED IN HEAVEN”- Psalm 119:89;
and, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and THE EXPANSE PROCLAIMS THE WORK OF HIS HANDS”- Psalm 19:1; and finally says, “When I observe your Heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you set in place, what is a human being that you remember him, a son of man that you look after him?”- Psalm 8:3-4.
This Divine revelation is freely available to anyone who would wish to consider it. And any written scripture [or doctrine] that confirm the Divine revelation imprinted in Nature (the law of “sowing and reaping”) comes from God; while any scripture [or doctrine] that denies it does not come from God.
But what about the Jewish redeeming Messiah? Don’t we all have to believe in the true messiah, in order to be saved?? Well, the answer is “Yes, and No”. You see, Hebrew Bible hints at the idea that repentance itself is the true redeeming Messiah; so that, as soon as someone turns you away from wickedness, your redeemer has arrived.
As is written: “And the Redeemer shall come to Zion [to whom will the Redeemer come?]… unto them that turn [away] from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord”- Isaiah 59:20 (King James version).
In other words, the moment either Moses, Jesus, Muhammad or any other person [or thing] successfully turns you away from wickedness, in that moment such a person [or thing] becomes your personal Messiah
And how do we know that Sincere repentance is in itself the Redeeming Messiah? We know it because, without repentance, there is no salvation from death; as Jesus himself confirmed, when he went on to say: “I tell you, No! But unless you repent, you too will all perish”- Luke 13:3

 

True religion has little to do with theology. Why? Because God has different plans for different peoples. In other words, if you study God’s Law, you will find that the Creator never asked Hebrew people to make converts; nor is there any record of Moses ever asking the Israelites to go overseas and try to turn other peoples into Hebrew believers. Why? Maybe because the religion God wants for each particular man, is the one that will make such man  [and not someone else] feel the freedom of mind, the Hope, the Peace of heart, and the clear conscience that he so desperately needs. For some people, such religion will be Judaism; For others, it will be Christianity, Islam, Samaritanism, etc. Truth be told, the name, size, location, or age of the creed we finally choose to follow doesn’t really matter. What really matters is that we feel secured that it represents God’s particular way of providing for our intellectual, emotional, and spiritual needs, so we can serve Him with a glad, pure, and sincere heart– without the burden of any ethnic, cultural or linguistic hindrance

 

Non-judgment Inclusiveness? Do not be so utterly deceived! Evil companionship (communion, association, & conversation with it) will always end up corrupting [and depraving] good manners, as well as morals and character

“A shameless, insolent, godless, and mediocre society is just one step behind barbarism, and only two away from genocide, and criminal totalitarianism”

Hebrew Scripture foretold that God's judgment upon secular Israel (symbol of modern Western world), would come at the hands of “Teman” (Modern Yemen, symbol of the Islamic World)

Jewish-controlled Western media constantly bombards us with the idea that there’s no God. And, by taking God out of the picture, they try to frame us into believing that “good and evil” are relative; that morality is a social construct we must adjust, in order to include [and even exalt] lifestyles that would otherwise be considered aberrant behavior (fraud, adultery, drug addiction, prostitution, homosexuality, cross dressing, incest, pedophilia, zoophilia, etc).
But the fact is that, in the long run, this constant push towards evil only serves to exacerbate the Muslim ire [and hatred] against the Western world. And, as most media outlets are in the hands of secular Ashkenazi Jews, it’s almost sure that not only will Islam conquer the West, but will also bring about another holocaust.
And why would God allow this new holocaust to happen? He’ll do it in order to fulfill the verse that goes on to say: “The Lord will enter into judgment with the elders of His people, and the princes thereof …”- Isaiah 3:14. Granted that the princes (the rich and powerful Ashkenazi seculars) sinned; but why would the elders (the religious Ashkenazi) be also judged (or punished)? Because they saw the public sin of the princess, and decided to remain silent.
And why would God allow Islam to prevail upon the West? Because the Holy One promised to come [in judgment] from a territory associated with Ishmael [the common ancestor of Arab Muslims]. As it is written: “GOD CAME FROM TEMAN, and the Holy One from mount Paran”- Habakkuk 3:3. Whence we get that “God’s coming” implies judgment? We know it from the verse that goes on to say: “… FOR HE [THE LORD] IS COMING TO JUDGE THE EARTH. HE WILL JUDGE THE WORLD RIGHTEOUSLY AND THE PEOPLES FAIRLY”- Psalm 98:8-9.
And whence we know that God is coming from among the Ishmaelites (Islam)? We know it from the verse that associates Ishmael with mount Paran. As it is written: “And he (Ishmael) dwelt in the wilderness of Paran…”- Genesis 21:2. In fact, the place prophet Habakkuk names as “Teman”, corresponds to modern day Yemen [a completely Muslim nation!].
Finally, Hebrew Scripture states that the ancient Sodomite confederacy was defeated by an inferior enemy, when the armies of the former fell into a place full of tar pits (“There were many holes filled with tar in the Valley of Siddim. When the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah and their armies ran away, some of the soldiers fell into these holes, but the others ran away to the mountains”- Genesis 14:10, Easy To Read Version).
And the latter is just a veiled prophecy: one foretelling that a day would come when a far greater confederacy of “Sodomite-friendly kings” (the collective West) would be defeated at a place filled with “tar pits”– the Middle east, which is a place filled with “tar” (or, “oil”) pits.

 

All Mountains point towards the Heavens!

God looks at the intentions of our hearts

God’s Law intimates that the Creator is sort of like “A Quantum Mirror”. In other words, although the Mirror itself never changes,  the image it will display will be different for everybody (as everyone will see a reflection of his own character).

In other words, if a warrior were to look into the mirror, he would see “a warrior God” (a “God of Host”, so to speak); if a Peace maker looks into it, he will see a “God of Peace”; If a loving Father looks into it, he’ll see a God who is “Our Father, who is in Heaven”; If a Merciful man looks into it, He will see a Merciful God; but if a Stern man looks into it, he will see a Stern God. 

As it is written: “With the merciful, thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man, thou wilt shew thyself upright; with the pure, thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward, thou wilt shew thyself froward”- Psalm 18:25-26, King James Bible. And the former could easily explain the reason why, when talking to Moses, God describes Himself as follows: “I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob…”- Exodus 3:6, King James Bible. Why did God has to say “the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob”? Why couldn’t He just say, “the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob”? Again, because each patriarch perceived God in a different fashion, just as if they were serving three different Gods. 

But the truth of the matter is that, although each of them viewed God differently [just as it happens with Islam, Judaism, and Christianity], they all served the same God; And, although different, each view was correct, as it was a faithful reflection of their individual personalities. 

So God goes beyond our individual religions, and judges the intentions of our hearts. As is written: “For יהוה does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but יהוה looks at the heart”- 1 Samuel 16:7. 

Thus, Divine truth is as diverse as mankind. And the latter is the reason why Hebrew Scripture provides various examples of different [yet valid] ways to answer God’s call to mankind. For example, he who righteously judge the cause of the weak and the needy, is thereby providing a correct answer to God’s call. 

As it is written: “He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the Lord”- Jeremiah 22:16. And the same happens with he who is meek and humble. As it has been said: “For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word”- Isaiah 66:2. 

Likewise, the man who turns away from wickedness is thereby providing a proper answer to God’s call unto his soul. As it has been written: “Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore [in everlasting life]”- Psalm 37:27. And so too does he who considers the poor (“Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble”- Psalm 41:1).  

In fact, he who loves the stranger, also provides a correct answer to God’s call to mankind (“He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt”- Deuteronomy 10:18-19). 

Finally, he who honors his father also provides a valid answer to the question of obedience to the Almighty. As is it written: «Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; “Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you: Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever”- Jeremiah 35:18-19. 

In short, our grave mistake in understanding God, is the false idea that there’s just one way to the serve Him; and only one true [and valid] response to His call for righteousness.

Social Justice? Gender ideology? Feminism? Gay Rights? Woke culture?… Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it might be time to pause and reflect. Why? Because Ideological autonomy is the Hallmark of distinctiveness, freedom, and power. And maybe that’s why [being ideologically unique] the ancient Israeli nation was not to be “counted” among the nations (having, in a manner of speaking, a completely different mindset). As it has been said: “… Yes, a people that will dwell alone, and not think itself one of the nations”– Numbers 23:9 (Complete Jewish Bible)

The following short video contains the audio of a typical Ethical Monotheists worship service. While the audio plays, the video displays short sentences summarizing the practical wisdom of our faith (Service audio starts at 4 minutes and 9 seconds)

Our Core (common sense) Beliefs
  • (1) Though seemingly infinite, the Universe is rational and coherent [obeying purely logical mathematical laws]. Therefore, it must be [at least] the indirect manifestation of an infinitely Superior mind (often described as “the Creator”, “the Supreme Power”, “the Supreme Judge”, or “the Supreme God”)

  • (2) All great truth undergoes no less than three stages of development: First, it is ridiculed; Second, it is violently opposed; Third, it is accepted as being self-evident

  • (3) The Supreme Judge [The Powerful mind that holds together the existing order and balance of the Universe] is free from all prejudices, and is perfectly honest, fair, merciful, and humble [not keeping to Himself the reward owed to anybody, but rather paying each man with the same amount of goodness, or evil, he has freely and voluntarily “planted” during his earthly lifetime]

  • (4) It is good to be good, as it’ll bring you a good life; a life of respect, honor, dignity, wisdom, peace, and satisfaction [the sort of life most people secretly admire and look up to!]

  • (5) Be intellectually honest! If you need to compare your religion with that of your competitors, be fair and honest about it– Don’t play the deceptive mind game of comparing your religious best with their religious worst; rather, compare your best with their best, and your worst with their worst. And, in case your competitor excels you in any practice [or belief], be humble enough to admit it, trying to make it part of your own experience [As Moses did with the advise given to him by his father in Law]  

  • (6) Life isn’t “All, or Nothing” [as, “too much West, turns out to be East!”]; therefore, simply try to do your best and most sincere effort to depart from evil, being instead fair, truthful, kind, honest, and humble [avoiding all radical extremes, and constantly striving to find the healthy balanced (or “midway”) position].

  • (7) Things don’t have to be perfect, in order for them to be functional

  • (8) Your biological parents could have aborted you, but instead decided to let you be born. Therefore, show them respect & appreciation [choosing a worthy and noble lifestyle] so that they never repent of having brought you into the World.

  • (9) Life’s fundamental Law is “sowing and reaping”, “cause and effect”, “action and reaction”, “what goes around, comes around”.

  • (10) A good Tree, can be known by it’s good Fruits. Likewise, a good man can be known by his good words, his good thoughts, his good actions, and his good aptitudes

  • (11) Show us what you brag about, and we will show you what you lack

  • (12) Like a golden earring on the snout of a pig, is the man who boasts of his merits [in other words, of his noble ethnic, social, educational, political, scientific, or religious background], while brazenly wallowing in the mud of deception, vulgarity, insolence, and immorality

  • (13) The immutable order displayed by Nature is the best [and most divinely inspired] book of wisdom, morality, and proper behavior.

  • (14) Don’t blindly trust the words of any desk expert. Rather, trust the facts that you can personally see, experience, and corroborate

  • (15) A wise and sound-minded man tries to adjust his theories to the facts, and not the facts to his theories

  • (16) Do not try to repair that which isn’t damaged!

  • (17) Do not “sell the Sun”, in order to purchase a light bulb [do not sell your treasured principles and family values, in order to get petty social, political, or religious approval]

  • (18) Avoid being the victim of childish illusions. The neighbor’s grass will always look greener than ours [just as other races, cultures, economies, religions, political systems, moral values, and socio-economic ideologies will always seem to be better than ours]

  • (19) Pay little attention to the fancy words, claims, and/or narratives uttered by famous and important people; focus instead on people’s actions and performance

  • (20) A truth will remain true, even if no one believes it; and a lie will remain a lie, even if everyone believes it

  • (21) If you don’t live to help the World [the neighbor who is in real need of your assistance], then your life is of no help to the World

  • (22) All great Mountains point toward the Heavens; just as all great religious traditions will point toward lofty (Divinely inspired) moral values

  • (23) In the end, the cruel, haughty, and self-centered man is abandoned by everybody

  • (24) People don’t care how much we know, until they know how much we care.

  • (25) Starting to believe your own lies, is the surest way to sell your soul to Evil. Why? Because once you’ve reach such stage, there’s no sort of wickedness [nor moral aberration], that you cannot easily rationalize [and thereby justify]

  • (26) Don’t blindly trust any person who practices self-praise

  • (27) Trust him who seeks truth [with a humble heart]; but question the man who arrogantly brags about finding it [claiming to be truth’s sole possessor]

  • (28) Beware of whose words [and ideas] you choose to embrace, for he who can compels you to believe absurdities, can also compels you to commit atrocities

  • (29) We don’t see things as they are; we see them as we are. In other words, unless you can afford to be brutally honest [and absolutely objective], the way you perceive any issue will be a direct reflection of who you truly are.

  • (30) The Universe teaches us that “the tree can be known by it’s fruit”. In other words, The true nature of any idea (or concept) can be ascertained by it’s resulting yield. Thus, if my religious ideas turn me into an unjust, cruel, arrogant, shameless, and immoral liar, then my religious ideas are worthless. By the same token, if my atheistic ideas turn me into an unjust, cruel, arrogant, shameless, and immoral liar, then my atheistic ideas are equally worthless

  • (31) God created “darkness”, so that it could be conquered by “light”; He created “disorder”, so that it could be conquered by “order”; He created “a disordered mixture of things”, so they could be conquered by “an ordered division of things”; He created “Evil”, so that it could be conquered by “Goodness”; He created “Death”, so it could be conquered by “Life”; He created “Transgression and Disobedience”, so that they could be conquered by “Repentance and Obedience”; He created physical [and moral] “Nakedness”, so that it could be conquered by [the proper] moral [and physical] “Attires”; He created “Failure”, so it could be conquered by “Triumph”; He created “Ignorance”, so it could be conquered by “Wisdom”; He created “Division”, so it could be conquered by “Unity”; He created “Hate”, so it could be conquered by “Love”; He created “Injustice”, in order for it to be conquered by “Justice”; He created “Wicked immorality”, in order for it to be conquered by “Godly moral values”; He created a sad, painful, imperfect, and limited existence (our current physical World), in order to replace it with a glorious, joyful, perfect, and infinite non-physical existence [the World to Come]

  • (32) Intellectual suicide is the prelude of Physical suicide

  • (33) The Creator wants our honesty and sincerity; not our lip service, nor flattering words

  • (34) If you speak to God, God will speak to you; and if you pardon the faults and transgressions [committed against you by other people], your own faults and transgressions will also be pardoned

  • (35) Be at war with your vices, but at peace with your neighbors

  • (36) No pain? No gain!

  • (37) If there is a will, there is a way

  • (38) Birds of the same feather, fly together

  • (39) Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks

  • (40) You can’t keep the birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from nesting in your hair

  • (41) The fool doesn’t know what he says, but the Wise doesn’t say what he knows 

  • (42) Children are born with very good religion, as they are humble, and honest

  • (43) There is no peace for the stubborn pervert, as his conscience won’t let him rest until he lets go of the moral degeneracy currently robbing his humanity    

  • (44) We are not expected to be morally perfect; but neither are we allowed to desist from striving for moral perfection

  • (45) Why should we do good? Because the Creator is sort of like a Mirror. In what sense? In that “the image” He will choose to show us will be a reflection of our own moral and spiritual image (“With the merciful Thou [God] wilt shew yourself merciful; with an upright man Thous wilt shew yourself upright; with the pure thou wilt shew yourself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew yourself froward”- Psalm 18:25-26, KJB)

  • (46) If you practice repentance and obedience, peace of mind you’ll soon experience

  • (47) The kingdom of God can be found wherever God is obeyed and glorified by a lifestyle of justice, mercy and humility

  • (48) Too much physical, intellectual, political, or economical power can corrupt even the best of all individuals [making him feel to be above the Law]; Thus, no man can ever be permitted to achieve absolute power, as it will surely bring absolute corruption

  • (49) It is wrong to pretend to have enough moral standing to criticize the speck clouding our neighbor’s eye, while conveniently ignoring the plank clouding our own

  • (50) No human being is God (who not only is free limitations, and errors in judgment, but also perfectly just, merciful and humble). Thus, we must all be mature enough recognize our flaws and limitations. How? Accepting constructive criticism, and learning to use phrases like: “I was wrong”, “I’m sorry”, and “Please forgive me”

  • (51) Beware of flatterers, for a shrewd pervert won’t get you by force, but rather by flattery and seduction. Therefore, hate he who constantly flatters you, but love he who rebukes you [in order to keep you from going astray]

  • (52) The Devil is in the details! Therefore, beware of sweeping [yet shallow] generalizations, and don’t be “anti” any group (White/Blacks, Democrats/Communists, Believers/Unbelievers, Jews/Palestinians, etc). Rather, stand by the side of the righteous people from among each group, while opposing the wicked people from among each group. As it has been said: “Lord.. Who may live on your Holy mountain? The one… who does what is righteous.. who despises a vile person [regardless of his race or creed], but honors those who fear the Lord”– Psalm 15:1-4, New International Version Bible

  • (53) Beware of your conflicting interests, as a man should not act as a judge in a case involving someone he loves (Moses, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad, Joseph Smith, Martin Luther, Vladimir Putin, etc.) or someone he hates (Adolf Hitler, Joe Biden, Bibi Netanyahu, Volodymyr Zelensky, etc), for he is not likely to find fault with someone he loves, nor find merit in someone he hates

  • (54) Not many millionaires in the heavens you will hear, for the glory they’ve already enjoyed over here

  • (55) Wicked people flee [feeling persecuted] when no one is chasing them; But the godly people are bold as lions– In other words, Wickedness will render you fearful [and therefore weak], whereas integrity will make you feel confident [and therefore strong]

  • (56) Not all that shines is gold

  • (57) Trust in the Creator, and do not rely upon your own insight [or limited understanding]. Remember that, when Jesus was tempted by Satan, he didn’t reason with the latter– instead, he replied by quoting God’s word concerning each particular issue

  • (58) Shall we indeed accept only good from God, and not also accept adversity and disaster? God is in control of all things! So, do what has been commanded to you (obey God’s Ten Supreme Laws) and let the rest in the wise and merciful hands of the Almighty

  • (59) Hope for the best, but get ready for the worst

  • (60) Better safe than sorry!

  • (61) Common sense is the least common of all senses

  • (62) Do not try to “perfume” the scum [of moral depravity]; rather, clean it up using “the Soap” of righteousness. As it has been said: “How can a young man keep his behavior pure? By guarding it in accordance with your Word. I have sought you with all of my heart; do not let me drift away from your [Ten] Commands”- Psalm 119:9-10, International Standard Version

  • (63) Cast out the gossiper and scorner. Thus, the strife will end, And the quarrel and the insult will cease

  • (64) Cease to hear any teaching [or ideology] that could deviate you from the Divine moral imperative [in order to please the vain ego of secular ruling powers]

  • (65) Even a callous and arrogant fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; When he closes his lips, he is regarded as sensible (prudent, discreet) and a man of understanding

  • (66) When a growing tree starts to get crooked, nothing like a rod to make it strait again (“A child’s heart has a tendency to do wrong, but the rod of discipline removes it far away from him”- Proverbs 22:15, International Standard Version)

  • (67) When “the head” is sick, the whole body aches

  • (68) “Ladders” are properly cleaned, only when the cleaning starts by the Top

  • (69) There is no softer pillow than a clear conscience (as integrity is one of the essential character traits that make humans more than just “talking animals”)

  • (70) The arrogant man will end up becoming enslaved by his pride (as he will prefer to suffer the consequence of his bad ideas and decisions, rather than to admit his failures in judgment) 

  • (71) Only a  fool dares to say there’s no God. Why? Because, The man who, after observing nature’s rigorous compliance with precise mathematical laws, proceeds to say, “This nature is no proof that there’s a Supreme intelligence (or God) behind it!”, disconnects so much from reality that, in the end, he’ll come to observe his own genitalia and proceed to say, “These male genitals are no proof that there’s a man behind them!

  • (72) Misery loves companionship. So, beware whose advise you choose to follow [in other words, make sure to find out who benefits the most out of such advise]

  • (73) No person, no society, and no nation can endure for long without upright moral values. Whence we know it? We know it from the fact that even criminal cartels expect their distributors be faithful [and honest] with the drug money entrusted to them

  • (74) Too much “fire” in the heart, will fill the head with “smoke”

  • (75) If the young ones say to you: “Let’s rebuild the Temple!” (the “temple” of globalization, egalitarianism, women’s rights, gender equality, moral relativism, etc)’, don’t listen to them. But if the elders say to you, “Let’s Destroy the Temple”, then pay heed to them. Why? Because [being inexperienced] “the building” of the young ones often leads to destruction, while “the Destruction” of the elders often leads to a better construction

  • (76) Using social (political) activism in order to “improve” a sick society? The fever isn’t in the blanket, but rather in the patient! (You can’t make a good sword out of bad iron!)

  • (77) Play it safe! Never embrace any moral [or ethical] principle that dares to deny, undermine, or contradict the Divine natural order [or isn’t directly or indirectly taught by Moses five books of the Law]

  • (78) By means of Creation, the Supreme Power of The Universe provided humanity with clear wisdom and guidance. Thus, we find that the fundamental truths of nature always boil down to simple axioms (Sowing, and reaping; Cause, and effect; Action, and reaction; What goes around, comes around; The tree is known by it’s fruit; All mountains point toward the heavens; To much West, is East; A little bit of water can be refreshing, while too much of it can be harmful, etc). Yet, the goal of atheists, tyrants, opportunistic people, moral relativists, and other anti-nature egalitarians is to over complicate what is clear and simple, in hopes of gaslight you out of objective reality

  • (79) Self praise? Sure foolishness! Why? Because no one can expect to be considered an unbiased judge of himself. Besides, when someone praises himself excessively, people perceive him as attempting to gain their attention (in order to manipulate them and/or impose his opinions)

  • (80) The skunk doesn’t feel his own stench

  • (81) The pig always gravitate towards the mud

  • (82) Don’t waste your time wrestling (struggling) with a pig. You’ll get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.

  • (83) Just because some people are fueled by drama, doesn’t mean we have to attend their performance

  • (84) If your actions don’t live up to your words, you have nothing to say

  • (85) In the land of the mad, the fool becomes a celebrated king

  • (86) You cannot wear a crown [of leadership], unless your head is in the right place [don’t be like an ostrich, and get your head out of the hole!]

  • (87) Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind

  • (88) Modern Hebrew religion features great ideas (theology); Modern Christian religion features great words (songs of praise); Modern Muslim religion features great actions (fasting, chastity, humility, and endurance in the face of extreme suffering)

  • (89) Social Justice? Gender ideology? Feminism? Gay Rights? Woke culture?… Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it might be time to pause and reflect. Why? Because Ideological autonomy is the Hallmark of distinctiveness, freedom, and power. And maybe that’s why [being ideologically unique] ancient Israel was not to be “counted” among the nations (having, in a manner of speaking, a different mindset). As it has been said: “… Yes, a people that will dwell alone, and not think itself one of the nations”– Numbers 23:9 (Complete Jewish Bible)

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”- Isaiah 5:20, American Standard Version

A nation with no regard for God’s moral Law (in other words, for God’s Ten Commandments) will have no solid baseline for morality. And, in the end, such nation will get so lost in it’s flawed human reasoning that will no longer be able to tell apart right from wrong; up from down, nor wisdom from foolishness. In fact, it might go as far as having it’s intelligent people banned from speaking, so as not to offend it’s retarded population. Likewise, it might prevent open moral behavior, so as not to offend it’s immoral citizens

The testimony of a true NDE (Near Death Experience)

My near death/OOBE experience happened around 2011. I was at home, experiencing a particularly severe asthma attack— one that refused to respond to any of the medications I happened to have at hand [Afrim, Albuterol, Vicks vaporub, etc]. Not wanting to scare my wife, I decided to go to bed, and try to “bite the bullet” alone.

Yet the lack of air became so bad that it got to a point where I simply said to myself: “Lord, I cant’ take this anymore… I’m tired of struggling with these symptoms… I’ll just stop fighting them, and let your will be done, whatever it might be (‘Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is’- Jeremiah 17:7)”. Then, my body spontaneously exhaled the little amount of air still left inside my lungs [in a sort of long and agonizing last breath]. Right after this, I saw myself coming out of my physical body, into what felt to be a sort of parallel universe, or dimension (‘For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind’- Isaiah 65:17).

Curiously, though I could see things just as if I were still inside my bedroom, I felt like if I were existing outside space/time; something similar to when you watch what is been aired from inside a flat screen (two dimensional) TV set— although you perceive things as clearly as if you were “inside” the TV, the fact is that you are not even inside the same dimension!

Another thing I experienced is that I no longer felt any human feelings nor limitation– no pain, no sickness, no fear, no thirst, no hunger, no weakness, no despair, no power struggles, no doubts, etc (‘And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away’- Revelation 21:4).

In fact, the only “feeling” I could still experience was one of peace; but not a peace like the one we experience here on Earth. Rather, the peace I felt was so absolute, that it seemed to be the size of the universe (‘Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee’- Isaiah 26:3). 

In addition, I felt like I had the energy of a trillion stars (‘And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever’- Daniel 12:3). 

Another thing I noticed is that, though I had what seemed to be a physical (limited) shape, I actually felt as if I was existing in a state that could only be describe as “a living thought”, or “pure consciousness” (‘As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness’- Psalm 17:15). 

And the former might explain the reason why, whenever I wanted to communicate with any of the beings I encountered over there, my “mind” would merge with their minds; so that, in an instant, I would know absolutely everything they had ever felt, thought, or experienced [there are no secrets in that realm!]. 

Likewise, whenever I wanted to know anything, I would simply wish to know it, and the information would come to me as easy [and as clearly] as if my mind were directly connected to the source of all knowledge in the Universe (‘For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad’- Luke 8:17). 

Another thing I experienced is that, whenever I wanted to cross into our present 3 dimensional realm, I would simply wish it to be so, and a sort of “energy portal” (or “threshold”) resembling a doorway would open-up, so I could step into it.

My near-death/out-of-body experience (NDE/OOBE) was quite long, and involved learning things so radical, that they shook my religious preconceptions to their very core. So, in order not to offend anybody, I will not include them here.

Curiously, though I consider myself to be a religious-minded individual, I must say that my NDE did not include anything you would come to expect from a person supposedly influenced by years of religious instruction.

In other words, I did not see any deceased relatives; I did not see Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, no Rabbi, no pastor, no Imam… no religious figure whatsoever… I did not hear anybody quoting [nor even mentioning] any religious text (Torah, Gospel, Qur’an, etc)… I saw no winged beings, no angels, no cherubim, no horned demons, no lake of fire, no awesome light, no tunnel, no garden of Eden, no flying thru the stars, no final judgment… Heck! I didn’t  even remotely see [or heard] God! 

And the former made me understand that I was experiencing one of the lowest possible “paradises”– one of the many heavens awaiting the common believer. Who is a common believer? It is he [or she] who fears God and sincerely wants to do His will, yet is lacking in faith and/or commitment, so that he has never done anything worthy of making him stand side-by-side with the great men of God [let alone with the holy angels!].

Still, the heaven I experienced was so incredibly amazing, that it surpassed (by many orders of magnitude) my wildest expectations. 

As a result of the former, I concluded that each near death experience is unique, as the Supreme Power of the Universe speaks to each of us in the language [and the terms] that our particular souls feel comfortable with.

For example, since the life of most males is a constant struggle (or “battle”) to provide for their households, it makes sense that most males NDE’s will include an awesome sense of Peace, as well as the vision of some sort of magnificent structure (or “building”). 

By the same token, since most women aspire to be loving and fruitful, their NDE’s will often include an incredible sense of Love, and will display some sort of incredibly beautiful garden and/or landscape. 

In short, good and noble souls will experience a good and noble afterlife– a sort of “personalized heaven”; while hateful and oppressive souls will experience a hateful and oppressive afterlife– a sort of “personalized hell” (“What the wicked dread will come on them, but what the righteous desire will be given to them”- Proverbs 10:24, Common English Bible). 

Again, not that heaven is either a literal building, or a literal garden– just the way the Almighty communicates with us– hinting at the idea that the afterlife is so infinite, that there’s enough “room” for each of us to have the personal world [or even universe!] we have always dreamed about.

As for how could I “see” other beings [having no physical body], the experience was strange, and quite difficult to explain. Why? Because it is like trying to explain the “phantom limb syndrome”– where you literally feel a severe pain in one of your extremities– something that is not supposed to happen. Why? Simply because such extremity isn’t even there! [as it has been amputated]. 

Likewise, during my NDE/OOBE I could “feel” and “see” other spirits, which looked to me just like regular people existing in physical bodies– something that was not supposed to happen. Why? Because, as we were no longer alive, I was fully aware that our physical bodies had been “amputated” [so that there were no physical bodies to sense or view!].

Curiously (and as a side note), I somehow see a parallelism of the former phenomenon. When? Whenever I hear of a person claiming to be “trapped” inside a body belonging to the opposite sex (as if there is actually one physical body being trapped inside a second body– something that should not be possible, as there’s only one body to speak about). 

Finally, I was made to understand that most of what I had seen [and experienced] was only metaphorical– shadows and symbols of far greater realities; realities so profound that it has taken me years to start to comprehend. For example, part of what I saw included the following metaphor: Since I had seen no angels, no cherubim, no prophets, etc, I expressed my desire to see “the heavenly city”. Then I was asked to wait, and in a short while what seemed to be a small bus stopped by. 

I hopped into it, and we started the journey riding up thru a mountain, following an extremely long, steep, narrow and difficult road. Eventually, we reached a very high plateau, were we kept travel for ages along what seemed to be a straight and ample road (a highway to heaven?).

Next, we reached a place where the highway was crowded by billion of human beings– so many that they resembled a living ocean of people; a crowd so large that it seemed to span the whole horizon [from east to west!]. As the bus would not reduce it’s velocity, I manifested my concerns to the bus driver, who calmly asked me to just wait and see what was about to happen.

Suddenly, the bust “hit” the crowd; but instead of hurting anyone, a sort of non-physical “portal” (or “threshold”) opened up, so that the bus found itself on the other side of it, floating over the area of a huge and majestic city.

As soon as I saw the splendor of this city, I felt compelled to praise the Almighty, saying: “Great and wonderful are your works, oh King of the Universe!”. Curiously, all other bus riders uttered the same praise, at exactly the same moment. 

Then, I looked outside the bus window, and focused upon one of the buildings, which resembled a pink hued gigantic sea shell– I could notice that they were many other beings dwelling on each one of the building levels; but, to my surprise, the building was so tall, and contained so many millions of inhabitants, that the building top seemed to disappear in the sky [as if the building kept going up forever!].

What does it all mean? In my humble opinion, it means that, though harsh and difficult, human life is an never ending process of “growth” [or, “evolution”]; First, in the physical realm, and then in the non-physical realms; that each soul is free to choose when [and how much] it wants to evolve– how much moral perfection and refinement it wants to attain. 

In addition, it means that there are an infinite number of heavens— that, if I saw no angel (nor great prophet), it was only because, though incredibly amazing, the “heaven” I was experiencing was just “the bottom of the mountain” [in other words, the heaven of average people like myself]– the footstep to an infinite number of ever increasing realms.

Thus, I have come to believe that heaven isn’t a specific place, but rather a stop we make along an infinite journey in the “upward” direction. Of course, if we want it to be so, we can stop, and abide in a “physical heaven” (experiencing a sea of human lives) for as long as we wish. But we can optionally transcend any form of human existence, in order to exist as part of “a place” (a “city” that seems to exist even beyond the non-physical realms!).

Curiously one of the many names Hebrew tradition gives to the Almighty is “Ha-Makom”, a phrase that literally means “The Place”. What Place? The infinite place which, though not existing anywhere, contains within itself all that is, was, or will ever be. 

In short, in my humble opinion, heaven is an infinite journey. A journey where? A journey toward “The Place”– toward the Infinite Being who contains inside itself all other things. Therefore, in the very moment we are courageous enough to stop, in order to objectively examine our lives, and go on to say: “Oh my God! What I did wasn’t right– If I could start it all over again, this time I would try to do it much better”, in that very moment our soul starts it’s infinite journey to heaven. 

A Worm Jew??

Rebuking the Jewish community of ancient times, Hebrew Scripture states the following: “Do not fear, YOU WORM JACOB, YOU MEN OF ISRAEL…”– Isaiah 41:14 (Amplified Bible). Why were rebellious Jews compared to WORMS? Because, as soon as they turned away from God, they would immediately start to feed upon [moral] corruption, [social] decay, and all other sort of filth and degeneracy [just as you would expect from any worm!]

Where does the concept of Hell (the Hebrew “Gehinnom”) come from?

In ancient times, there was a valley near Jerusalem whose Hebrew name was “Gey ben Hinnom”, or “The valley (or hollow) of the sons of Hinnom”. This place is mentioned for the first time in the book of Joshua, when the limits of the tribe of Judah are described (Joshua 15:8). According to 2nd Kings 23:10, and Jeremiah 7:31, those who did not know the God of Israel practiced in this valley one of the deepest forms of immorality. Why? Because they would burn their own children in fire, as a sacrifice to the idol god named “Molech”. 

And the latter was the reason why, in the ancient Hebrew mindset, “Gey ben Hinnom” (abbreviated as, “Gehinnom”) came to be considered an accursed place, and therefore a symbol of the abode of those who are under the Divine curse. 

The fact that Gehinnom was a valley (or “pit”) of death, came to symbolize the grave; and, the fire and the curse of Gehinnom, symbolized the punishment that [after descending to the grave] awaits those who are deserving of God’s wrath. 

Who are understood to be deserving of God’s wrath? Those who sell themselves to kill, to steal, to lie, to defame the innocent, to commit adultery, to fornicate, to embrace immorality, to dishonor their parents, to covet what doesn’t belong to them, to oppress their neighbor, to demand usury, to exalt themselves, to be cruel, haughty, or proud; in short, any man who refuses to keep the Divine moral code porteayed by God’s (ten) commandments. 

As it has been said: “Cursed is he who does not confirm the words of this Law, to fulfill them. And all the people say: “Amen” »-Deut. 27:26. But someone might ask, “don’t we all go down to the grave (Gehinnom)?”; Aren’t we all heading to the same place? In fact, if sacrificing their children condemns the wicked to Gehinnom, should not Avraham (peace be upon him) go down to Gehinnom as well [for having tried to sacrifice his son Isaac]? The answer is “yes”; Avraham (as well as al of his spiritual children) will also be in Gehinnom. 

But, just as being addicted to heroin, isn’t the same as being addicted to our wives and children, In the same way being a resident of Gehinnom [while being “a son of Avraham”] isn’t the same as being a resident of Gehinnom [while being a “son of Korah”]. 

Why? Because the former will abide in joy and peace, resting in the bosom of their father Avraham; while the latter will be in the company of Korah, suffering torment and agony. Thus, though all will “descend” to the valley of Hinnom (the tomb), some will go down to the torment [which they freely chose in life, by following the path of the wicked]; while others will go down to the blessing [which they freely and voluntarily chose by following the path of those who fear God and keep his commandments]. 

This has always been the position of Avraham’s Hebrew faith, as well as of all who (in the past) have preached it. When Samuel told Saul (whom God had already abandoned) that he would “be with him” the next day (1 Samuel 28:19), what he meant was that Saul would also go to Gehinnom, where he would see Samuel resting in the bosom of Avraham; but Saul would observe all this, from the side of the unjust who are in torment. Let us remember that, just as the sinners voluntarily sacrificed his children in the accursed valley of Gehinnom, in the same way, Saul would sacrifice his children; taking them to a place (a battle) that had been cursed by Adonai [the battle that would take place the next day against the Philistines]; a place where he knew there would only be death and destruction. Following this same line of thought, the Scripture says that Adonai burned the inhabitants of Sodom with fire; as intimating that, just as in this life the Sodomites were punished with fire, in the same way they will also be punished after descending to Gehinnom (the grave). Why will they be punished? Well, because, just as the idolaters killed their children in the valley of the children of Hinnom (“Gey ben Hinnom”), in order to satisfy the perverse god Moloch; In the same way the Sodomites had descended into the valley of immorality that is the “Gay” lifestyle, in order to sacrifice their children to the wicked god of lust. Which children? Well, the children they would have fathered had they not chosen the gay lifestyle. As the Hebrew Scripture says: “…what have you done? The voice of THE BLOODS of your brother cries out to me from the earth»- Genesis 4:10. What BLOODS does the Creator refer to? Well, to the souls that could no longer come into the world, through the descendants of Abel! As would any teacher of Ethical Monotheism, Jesus of Nazareth (peace be upon him) taught this very thing. It is that, in his account of the poor and sick Lazarus (Luke 16: 19-31), Jesus mentions that the merciless rich man opened his eyes in Gehinnom, to find himself in torment. Instead, poor pious Lazarus opened them to find himself in Avraham’s peace and rest. They both ended up in Gehinnom; and both were so close to each other, that they could see and talk to one another.

Hebrew Scripture states that there's a time for everything and everyone [including the Jews!]-- a time to love them, and a time to hate them; a time to be at peace with them, and a time to be at war with them

Hebrew Scripture states that everything has it’s own time. As it has been said: “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven… A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace”- Ecclesiastes 3:1,&8 (King James Version).
Thus, Scripture teaches that there is a time to love the Jews (“YEA, I HAVE LOVED THEE with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee”- Jeremiah 31:3, King James Version), and a time to hate them (“When GOD HEARD THIS, he was wroth, AND GREATLY ABHORRED ISRAEL”- Psalm 78:59, King James Version).
Likewise, there’s a time to be at peace with the Jews (“… we [the Jews] have sought the Lord our God. WE HAVE SOUGHT HIM, AND HE HAS GIVEN US PEACE ON EVERY SIDE…”- 2 Chronicles 14:7, English Standard Version), and there’s a time to be at war with them (“But THEY [THE JEWS] REBELLED and grieved His Holy Spirit; THEREFORE HE [GOD] TURNED TO BE THEIR ENEMY, AND HIMSELF FOUGHT AGAINST THEM”- Isaiah 63:10, English Standard Version)

How can we know if the religion we currently follow pleases the Creator?

In what sense are most modern versions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam “pagan”? Well, in that “they strain out the mosquito, but swallow the camel”. As it is written: “Woe to you…because you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and leave the most important…. justice, mercy and faith… Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel!”- Matthew 23:23-24. 

In other words, my religion is pagan if it’s emphasis is not upon what matters most to the Creator (that we live the ethical and moral lifestyle that pleases Him), but rather upon what He considers to be of secondary importance (to have “the right theology”, although this doesn’t translate into a life of love and holiness). 

And why does God want us to live an ethical and moral lifestyle [a life of justice and mercy]? Well, because if there’s something the Eternal wants us to glory upon, it isn’t knowing what the identity of the Messiah is, nor in knowing which religious organization has the most precise theology; it is instead to understand that the Most High wants us to embrace a life of justice, mercy, and humility. 

As it is written: “But let him who should praise himself praise himself in this: in understanding me and knowing me, that I am יהוה (Adonai), who do mercy, judgment and justice on earth; because these things I want [men to do], says יהוה ”- Jeremiah 9:24. 

And as it is also said in another place: “O man, He has declared to you what is good, and what does יהוה ask of you? Only to do justice, and to love [to do] mercy, and to humble yourself before your God”- Micah 6:8. 

And finally says, “He judged [with mercy and justice] the cause of the afflicted and needy, and then he was well. Isn’t this knowing me? says יהוה”- Jeremiah 22:16. 

And that the purpose of God’s Law is that we live the ethical and moral lifestyle that arises from our love of God and our neighbor, is also taught in the Christian writings, when they go on to say: «… What is the great commandment in the Law? Jesus told him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind”. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is similar: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the prophets”- Matthew 22:36-40…. 

… “And if I had prophecy, and understood all [theological] mysteries…and I have no love, I am nothing”- 1 Corinthians 13:2… 

… “For: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not covet, and any other commandment, in this sentence is summed up: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’. Love does not harm the neighbor; therefore, the fulfillment of the Law is love”- Romans 13:9-10… 

… “If you know that He is righteous, know also that everyone who does justice is born of Him”- 1 John 2:29… “In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifested: everyone who does not do justice, and who does not love his brother, is not of God… We know that we have passed from death to life, in that we love the brothers. He who does not love his brother remains in death”- 1 John 3:10 & 14.

The reason why, when it comes to Jewish people, anti-semitism is their greatest blessing!

“Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and I will send unto NEBUCHADREZZAR the king of Babylon, MY SERVANT, and will bring them against this land …”- Jeremiah 25:9 (Jewish Publication Society, 1917 Edition)

King Nebuchadrezzar was the greatest anti-Semite of all times [as he killed and enslaved millions of Jews], yet Jewish Scripture calls him “God’s Servant”.
Why? Because God’s dealings with Israel are different from that of any other nation. As it has been said: “… Lo, it is A PEOPLE THAT SHALL DWELL ALONE, and SHALL NOT BE RECKONED AMONG THE NATIONS”- Numbers 23:9, JPS). And the latter means that, though Gentile nations are easily persuaded to repent, it isn’t so with Israel.
Why? Because Jews are stiffnecked people. As it is written: «And the Lord said unto Moses: “I HAVE SEEN THIS PEOPLE, AND, BEHOLD, IT IS A STIFFNECKED PEOPLE»- Exodus 32:9, JPS). Therefore, though persecution and discrimination are bad for the Gentile nations of the World, they are good for Israel.
Why? Because suffering, persecution, and punishment are God’s way of bringing Jews back to sincere repentance [thereby achieving everlasting life!].
In fact, the former is such an undeniable truth that Jewish tradition foretells that Israel receives it’s greatest blessings only after experiencing suffering, punishment, and chastisement.
As it is been written,
«It is taught that Rabbi Simeon Ben Yohai said: TheHoly One Gave Israel three precious gifts, each of them thru sufferings: 1) Torah, 2) the Land of Israel, and 3) The world to Come.
The proof for Torah?… “Happy is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, for thus thou teachest him thy Torah “ (Psalm 94:12)…
The proof for the Land of Israel?… “As a man chastenesth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee” (Deuteronomy 8:5), followed by: “The Lord thy God bringeth thee into the good Land [the Land of Israel]” (Deut. 8:7) …
And the proof for the World to come?… “The commandment is a lamp, and the teaching is light, and reproofs of Suffering are the way to Life [-to-come]” (Proverbs 6:23)»
– Babylonian Talmud (Berakhot 5a) & En Yaakov
In short, it can be properly said that when a Gentile [rightfully] discriminates against a [morally degenerated] Jew, the former becomes a little version of Nebuchadrezzar– a Servant of God [for the redemption of Jewish people].
