This letter is a look into the seven "Noahide laws" and a response to those of "Rabbinical" Judaism that actually believe non-Jews are only required to keep seven basic laws of the Torah. In particular, it is a reply to 'Chabad Lubavitch,' a so-called 'hasidic' sect; yet, according to Biblical Judaism they are an apostate sect.
The Seven Noahide Laws:
1. Prohibition of idolatry
2. Prohibition of blasphemy
3. Prohibition of murder
4. Prohibition of theft
5. Prohibition of illicit relations
6. Prohibition of eating live meat
7. Prohibition of failing to establish courts of
justice
"The Seven Noahide Laws actually encompass numerous details and applications that are not explained here (by one opinion, 66 laws exist, but could comprise hundreds of laws, each with specific applications). One should also keep in mind that these laws are only the minimal basis for a Hasidic Gentile's service to G-d, since there are many Jewish mitzvahs that non-Jews are encouraged to adopt to accomplish more."

One ordinance [shall be both] for you of the congregation, and also
for the stranger that sojourneth [with you], an ordinance for ever in
your generations: as ye [are], so shall the stranger be before Yehowah.
One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that
sojourneth with you.
Isaiah 56:6-7
The sons of the stranger, that join themselves to Yehowah, to serve Him, and to love the name of Yehowah, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of My covenant; Even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices [shall be] accepted upon Mine altar; for Mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
Deuteronomy 18:18-19
I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee [Moses], and will put My words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever will not hearken unto My words which he shall speak in My name, I will require [it] of him."
Exodus 32:31-33
And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. And Yehowah said unto Moshe [Moses], Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book.
By reading these verses and many others like them, but especially Exodus 32:31-33, it was clear to the ancient Israelites and to us today that practice Biblical Judaism [and not 'Rabbinical' Judaism] that all the peoples of the world shall be condemned by Yehowah's Torah on the day of judgment [Daniel 12:2]. Those who do not keep the torah shall not enter into the "salvation" that the prophets talked about - where the moshiach will govern over the whole earth by the theocratic laws that HaShem put in place through His holy prophets; where the holy and righteous Jewish king shall sit on David's theocratic throne and subdue and punish all those that keepeth not the laws of HaShem. By that, the righteous or the Torah observant shall finally have literal 'freedom' from all their enemies that despise, mock and hate the laws of Yehowah and His holy people. Thus, because non-Jews do not even know the Torah, let alone follow or practice it they simply cannot enter into that "salvation."
Now, if you read my words very carefully, I never said "pro-Israel," nor "pro-Jew." What I said is "pro-torah." Thus, even though Jews and Israelites have been given the Torah so long ago, if they do not keep the laws of the Torah, they actually will be treated worse when the moshiach shall judge all people, because they knew better, yet would not do what was required of them. This is why Deuteronomy 28 predicts a more harsh reality for the Israelite, than for the ignorant Gentiles.
If a person does not even know the Torah, it is impossible to keep it, thus all the peoples of the world literally constitute the negative aspect of Yehowah's words spoken to Moshe in Exodus 32, "Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book." This very cause is the sole reason why David or the Psalmist wrote what he did in Psalm 115:119 that says, "Salvation is far from the wicked, for they seek not Thy statutes."
What does Daniel 12:2 say by the way? It is this....
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt.
Thus, in regards to my question above, the answer is an overwhelming "YES," and only "Yes." If there is only one G-d, then there is just only one law from that G-d for all men to observe and that is exactly what biblical Judaism teaches, though "Rabbinical" Judaism teaches quite the opposite.
Keep in mind that only one man was made on the sixth day of creation, not many of different races. I say this because Adam was not a Jew, nor Enoch, nor Noah, Melchizedek, nor Abraham for that matter, yet all of them were very righteous and some were prophets. Yet, they all had the exact same laws that HaShem gave from the very beginning, because HaShem never changes. It was not until the Israelites were driven out from the land of Egypt and after they crossed the Sea of Reeds [the Red Sea] that many additional laws were given to humanity in order to memorialize the events that the Holy God of Heaven did for the offspring of His holy servant named Abraham and all those that were with the Israelites at that time. Simultaneously, the former laws had to be said once again because the children of Abraham had forgotten them while staying in the land of Egypt for so long. When HaShem added these additional laws, He did not "change" His character, nor did He turn into something else. He still required holy living, justice, love and the spreading of truth to all.
If fact, any reader should be able to see the existence of a pre-exodus Torah by the very words HaShem said to Isaac when talking about Abraham in Genesis 26:3-5, " ...I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws." Thus, a vast body of law existed long before Moses and the Israelites came on the scene and this law was not merely comprised of seven simple commandments.
The whole reason Jonah the prophet was sent to Nineveh wasn't to simply convert them from their evil and violent behavior and practices, to that of justice and compassion. In truth, being the great prophet he was, part of Jonah's mission was to also spread the truth concerning monotheism and the ways of the torah and not just to warn them of the pending doom awaiting them if they did not cease from their cruel ways. So, like Jonah was a 'light to the Gentiles,' the whole nation of Israel was to be the very beacon of light to all humanity in order to show the world how they were supposed to live and think; from their governmental laws to their beliefs.
Now to "go off the reservation" for a moment, "Rabbinical" Judaism teaches that the law of Yehowah only
contains 613 commands. In reality, however, there are many more. The problem is that our ancient brothers lost the actual law of Moses through Nebuchadnezzar and others, because our delight was in wickedness and idolatry and not in the Torah.
Now considering all that I just said and the quotes that I took from the Tanach I would like to ask the promoters of the Noahide laws this question:
In the judgment to come which the prophets and even Solomon talked about, do you actually think that HaShem said to the children of Abraham, "I just loved giving you many more laws to obey than the rest of the nations, because I loved you that much. So, in order to love you greater, I wanted to be rougher with you than I am with them?"
Come on!! Are you really that deceived and ignorant of the teachings of the holy prophets? Apparently so, for this is what "Rabbinical" Judaism promotes as does the "Talmud." The teachings of the Talmud are the greatest building blocks to "Rabbinical" teaching.
As I said by quoting Numbers 15, there is only one law for the Israelite and the stranger. This clearly tells you that the doctrine of the "Noahide" laws are clearly un-biblical and are rooted in man-made ordinances, which is "Rabbinical" Judaism. The faith of the prophets or Biblical Judaism condemns "Rabbinical" Judaism and judges it to be "apostate" in nature.
Not to blaspheme by any stretch, I'm just trying to merely state the truth according to Biblical Judaism - the "Talmud" is a great " 'Who's Who' of the ignorant," not the righteous. This is not to say that all the teachings therein are invalid, but an extremely great quantity of its teaching are.
![(1.) This website tells the truth about the Jewish messiah (moshiach). (2.) That holiness comes through the observance of the full torah and condemns the trinity doctrine, as well as the 'saved by grace' notion taught by Paul [ the FALSE apostle]. (3.) It PROVES that the messiah in NOT God - yet, Yehoshua, is the moshiach, the only begotten son of the only God, the God of Israel !!!](link1.gif){kind=small}
