God Requires Kindness, Charity and Justice

Genesis 18:19 explains why God chose the Biblical patriarch Abraham — because Abraham would command his children to keep the Way of God, i.e., to perform charity and justice.

In utter contrast to the Way of God is the Way of Sodom, i.e., a society based on cruelty and injustice and lacking in charity and justice.

“The cry of Sodom is so great, and their sin is so very grave.”1

The Talmud describes how the depraved Sodomites tortured a young girl to death for having given bread to a stranger, something illegal in Sodom.

America at this time is in desperate need of obtaining God’s mercy. By promoting and doing acts of kindness in society, America can merit kindness from God so that He will deliver her from her present travails.

Man has free will to serve God by imitating His path of doing good in the world. God’s ways and traits, that Man should emulate, are kindness, justice, and righteousness, as stated by the Biblical prophet Jeremiah.

“But only in this should one glory: In his earnest devotion to Me. For I am the LORD who acts with kindness, justice, and righteousness in the world; For in these things I delight —declares the LORD.”2

The prophet Micah has also emphasized the proper path for Man to follow in the world:

הִגִּ֥יד לְךָ֛ אָדָ֖ם מַה־טּ֑וֹב וּמָֽה־יְהוָ֞ה דּוֹרֵ֣שׁ מִמְּךָ֗ כִּ֣י אִם־עֲשׂ֤וֹת מִשְׁפָּט֙ וְאַ֣הֲבַת חֶ֔סֶד וְהַצְנֵ֥עַ לֶ֖כֶת עִם־אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃

“He has told you, O man, what is good, And what the LORD requires of you: Only to do justice and to love acts of kindness, and to walk modestly with your God.”3

There are many places in the Bible where we are urged to take care of the poor and do acts of kindness.

“Happy is he who considers the poor, on the day of disaster God will deliver him.”4

There are many ways that we can do acts of kindness in society. Here are just a few acts of kindness that I can suggest:

1. Donate money, clothes or food to needy people: This can be done for people on the street, or one can give charity and/or food and clothes to reliable non-profit charity organizations who will distribute it to the needy.

2. Help an unemployed person find employment: Provide him/her information about job openings, or advise him/her on how to obtain employment in a field you are familiar with, or else hire an unemployed person if you are able to do so.

3. Help an unemployed person to become self-employed: Offer them sound advice on how to start a business, or loan them some funds to go into business.

4. Offer support to a person experiencing a difficult or stressful situation (such as divorce, death in the family, etc.): Call or visit the person experiencing a difficult situation and let them know you care about them and you are available to help them.

5. Offer assistance to a person experiencing illness, or an elderly disabled person: Call or visit an ill or elderly person, and let them know you care about them and you are available to help them.

6. Invite guests for a meal or to stay overnight if they need a place to stay.

7. Assist strangers experiencing difficulties (when safe to do so): Offer help to motorists with disabled cars, or offer directions to people who cannot find their destination.

Walking God’s Path

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.
