The Noahide Laws
Seven commandments which, according to Jewish tradition, are incumbent upon all of humankind.
God speaks to Noah and his children as they exit the ark: ‘Behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you’ (Genesis 9:9).”
Although rabbinic texts preserve various traditions about the details of this covenant, the Talmud reports the following:
“The children of Noah were commanded with seven commandments: [to establish] laws, and [to prohibit] cursing God, idolatry, illicit sexuality, bloodshed, robbery, and eating flesh from a living animal (Sanhedrin 56a; cf. Tosefta Avodah Zarah 8:4 and Genesis Rabbah 34:8).”
The Details
The prohibition against idolatry refers specifically to idolatrous worship, and not to beliefs. In later generations, Jews had to determine whether the prevailing religious cultures in which they lived were idolatrous. Since Islam is strictly monotheistic, Muslims have always been considered Noahides. Since the later Middle Ages, Jews have acknowledged that the Christian doctrine of the Trinity was not the same as idolatry, and they were also recognized as Noahides.
The prohibition against theft includes kidnapping, cheating an employee or an employer, and a variety of similar acts.
The prohibition against illicit sexuality includes six particular prohibitions, derived from a single verse:
The Obligation to Create a System of Laws
According to the medieval philosopher and codifier Maimonides, the legal system which Noahides are required to set up is specifically to establish punishments for infractions of the other six Noahide laws (Laws of Kings 9:14).
Nahmanides, a medieval Bible commentator, understands the obligation more broadly:
The Noahide Laws are growing in popularity. They have even reached the U. S. Congress:“The U.S. Congress officially recognized the Noahide Laws in legislation that was passed by both houses. Congress and the President of the U. S., George Bush, indicated in Public Law 102-14, 102nd Congress, that the United States of America was founded upon the Seven Universal Laws of Noah, and that these Laws have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization. They also acknowledged that the Seven Laws of Noah are the foundation upon which civilization stands and that recent weakening of these principles threaten the fabric of civilized society, and that justified preoccupation in educating the Citizens of the U.S. of America and future generations is needed. For this purpose, this Public Law designated March 26, 1991 as Education Day.”Well…isn’t that just sneaky! And here we thought the U.S. was founded on the top Ten. Oops, guess we were wrong, huh? Sadly, this is not just for the state of Yisra’el (Israel) or even the U. S., but for the whole world:“This obligation, to teach all the peoples of the earth about the Laws of Noah, is incumbent upon every individual in every era” — (Mishnah Torah, Law of Kings 8:10).

A LAW TO ALLOW THE EXECUTION OF CHRISTIANS AND NON-JEWS IN AMERICA WAS PASSED IN 1991
On March 20,1991 Presidend Bush signed into LAW a Congressional Joint Resolution entitled, ” A Joint Resolution To Designate March 26, 1991, As Education Day,USA”, This Joint title seems so innocuous that no one would think twice about it if they just happened to see it; however, this law is very sinister in it’s implications.
It is only typical of The New World Order and it’s planners to devise innocent sounding words,phrases and titles to Mask their true intentions…
Public Law 102-14 states emphatically that ALL civilization from The Beginning has been based upon a set of Laws entitled ” The Seven Noahide Laws “, I bet you did not know this,did you ??? You probably believed that The Holy Bible was the basis upon which civilization was based.
What are “The Seven Noahide Laws” and where did they come from ???
105 STAT. 44 Public Law 102?14 ?? March 20, 1991 Joint Resolution To designate March 26, 1991, as “Education Day, U.S.A.” << One Hundred Second Congress of the United States of America AT THE FIRST SESSION Begun and held at the City of Washington on Thursday, the third day of January,one thousand nine hundred and ninety-oneJoint ResolutionTo designate March 26, 1991, as `Education Day, U.S.A.’.Whereas Congress recognizes the historical tradition of ethical values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which our great Nation was founded;Whereas these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven Noahide Laws;Whereas without these ethical values and principles the edifice of civilization stands in serious peril of returning to chaos;
Whereas Congress recognizes the historical tradition of ethical values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which our great Nation was founded;
Whereas these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven Noahide Laws;
Whereas without these ethical values and principles the edifice of civilization stands in serious peril of returning chaos;
Whereas society is profoundly concerned with the recent weakening of these principles that has resulted in crises that beleaguer and threaten the fabric of civilized society;
Whereas the justified preoccupation with these crises must not let the citizens of this Nation lose sight of their responsibility to transmit these historical ethical values from our distinguished past to the generations of the future;
Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the Lubavitch movement, is universally respected and revered and his eighty?ninth birthday falls on March 26, 1991;
Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, “the rebbe,” this, his ninetieth year will be seen as one of “education and giving,” the year in which we turn to education charity to return the world to the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven Noahide Laws; and
thank you condeez
