Walking God’s Path Means Being Guided by Biblical Ethical Monotheism
“And you shall walk in His ways.”1
America is in a dangerous state of decline now due to its abandonment of walking God’s path that brought America great blessings in the past. America can restore its blessings from God by “walking God’s path” and by rejecting the Way of Sodom, i.e., the Democrat Party and the Woke “progressives”.
“Walking God’s Path” refers to all those persons, both Jews and non-Jews, who adhere to ancient Biblical principles of ethical monotheism and who reject Marxism, Islamism, atheism, globalism, and totalitarianism, IE the ideologies of the “Red-Green Axis”. These corrupt ideologies radically conflict with Biblical principles.
Ancient Biblical principles require that Mankind should adhere to basic principles of “ethical monotheism”. These principles require us to recognize one Creator of the Universe and adhere to the ethical laws of the Creator, including recognizing Man as a unique being created “in the image of God”.
Adhering to Biblical principles does not require that any non-Jews convert to Judaism.
This one God prohibits all idolatry, cruelty, murder, barbarism, robbery, homosexuality, adultery, etc. The one God demands that society practice charity, kindness, and honesty, and that both rich and poor may obtain legal justice for their legitimate grievances.
“Walking God’s path” requires that we recognize Man’s creation in the image of his Creator. Then, as emphasized by the Jewish prophet Micah, “Walking with God” refers to Man serving and emulating God by doing justice, doing acts of kindness, and walking humbly with God.
All those who recognize Man as being created in the image of his Creator must embrace and assert their unique and precious identity, while also rejecting the corrupt ideologies promoting the descent of Man into an animal.
Noah Walked With God
In various places in the Jewish Bible, we are taught that righteous persons (such as Noah) “walked with God”, and that Man is also urged to “walk with God”.
“He (Noah) walked in G’d’s way trying to be helpful to others, and to instruct and if necessary to rebuke them, as our sages pointed out.”2
The Biblical prophet Noah lived in an extremely corrupt and immoral generation, a generation where “God saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth”3, a generation that God decided must be destroyed in a flood.
In the ancient rabbinic Biblical commentary “Midrash Rabbah”, it explains that the sin that finally caused God to decide to destroy the world via a flood at the time of Noah was the formation of marriage contracts between two males, and between men and animals.
We see in present Western civilization similar violations of God’s will, where homosexual marriages are being legally recognized and promoted by aggressive leftist activists and their accomplices in the Western media.
Noah was perhaps criticized by some rabbinic authorities for not aggressively trying to influence his corrupt generation to turn from their evil ways. However, despite the great evil that Noah observed around him, Noah resisted participating in the evil that was prevalent in his generation. Instead, Noah maintained his righteousness and was thus chosen by God to be saved from the approaching flood.
In our generation, we may not be able to reach the level of Abraham, but we can and must at least emulate Noah and walk in God’s path, despite the wickedness we see all around us.
