I recently moved to the Baltimore, MD area. There is a very large Jewish community here in Baltimore and today's observance of the beginning of Passover, got me curious about Passover and it's traditions.

While looking through this one website, I found this article about "The Seven Noahide Laws". I had never heard of these before and read with great interest. When I was finished, I thought that I should share them here. We should seek truth wherever we can find it and this is most certainly truth. Heck, they're basically a condensation of the 10 Commandments. I was particularly impressed with Law number Four, the one regarding the sanctimony of Marriage.

As is said in my faith: "If there is anything hvirtuous, ilovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." This article meets those standards and then some.

5 Respect the rights and property of others. Be honest in all your business dealings. By relying on G-d rather than on our own conniving, we express our trust in Him as the Provider of Life.

That's so deep. Unfortunately, a lot of people & politicians are missing out on the principles & benefits involved.

Why is “-” preferable to “o”?

I don’t read anything about Talmudic laws taking precedence over the Christian New Covenant. Its not in the New Testament.

What is this, some sort of gimmick to have Christians render preeminence to Judaism? Sorry, I see Jesus Christ as superior to both the Mosaic Old Covenant and the Talmud.

The first so-called commandment listed here for us Gentiles forbids idolatry. Well, good. As a Christian I am against pagan idolatry too. But I am made to wonder whether or not they include the Christian worship of Jesus as idolatry.

I first learned about the Noahide Laws on Free Republic and kinda looked into them. They could be very,very harmful to many and should be carefully studied while praying for the Holy Spirit to guide all reflections on them.

Dear Fellow Noahides and Our Jewish Friends,

For many years we Noahides have found ourselves alone in our pursuit of the truth of HaShem. We all have made great sacrifices along the way. Many have lost family, friends, co-workers and more as a result of making the decision to keep the Noahide Laws. We have continued to study and meet other Noahides via the Internet and some have been fortunate enough to be able to start small Noahide groups. We are living in extraordinary times. Our world is plagued with violence, moral decay and diminishing human dignity. Yet, we find ourselves blessed with an unprecedented outpouring of knowledge that is both timeless and technological. It is a kind of flood that is both spiritual and material. We are poised on the brink of destruction or greatness. It is our hope and belief, here at Noahide Nations, that mankind is approaching the latter, fueled by innovative discoveries and a growing awareness in the deep riches of the Torah knowledge. The melding of these resources coupled with a heightened sense of the need for community is the underlying theme of our most ambitious project to date.

We invite you to be a part of “Noahides Future is NOW” at the World Conference of the Noahide Nations, June 26th through the 29th of 2008. The site for this event will be the Ft. Lauderdale Airport Hilton. We have chosen this location so that the large Jewish community in nearby Hollywood, Florida, will be able to fully participate in this rare 4-day gathering of Noahide and Jewish leaders who represent the best and the brightest in fields of Torah study, Science, History and Government. You’ll hear…

Rabbi Tovia Singer – Israel National Radio – Confirmed
Rabbi Michael Katz – Noahide Torah Instructor – Confirmed
Rabbi Lazer Brody – Director Emuna Outreach – Tentative
Rabbi Zvi Aviner – Noahide Nations Torah Instructor – Confirmed
Rabbi Moshe Ben Chaim – Founder Mesora.org – Confirmed
Rabbi Benjamin Blech – Professor Yeshiva University, Author – Tentative
Rabbi Joel David Bakst – Teacher of Kabbalah, Noahide Nations Instructor – Confirmed
Rabbi Chaim Richman – International Director Temple Institute – Confirmed
Rabbi Reuvan Mann – Director – Yeshiva B’nei Torah – Confirmed
Rabbi Yeshayahu HaKohen Hollander – Member Sanhedrin - Confirmed
Moshe Otero – Way of Israel TV Show – Confirmed
Harold Gans – Torah Codes – Confirmed
Dr. Andrew Goldfinger – Author of Thinking About Creation – Confirmed
James D. Long – Author and Producer of Riddle of the Exodus – Confirmed
Jack Saunders – Noahide Nations Instructor, Noahide Community Leader- Confirmed
Professor Vendyl Jones – Excavated Temple Anointing Oil & Incense - Confirmed
Roger Grattan – North American Emissary of the Sanhedrin - Confirmed

The conference will offer exciting brainstorming sessions, thought-provoking lectures and valuable networking. There will even be an opportunity for both married couples and those wishing to be married to renew their wedding vows or take their marriage vows as Noahides, under a Chuppa by a Rabbi.

There will be important meetings and workshops on such topics as the International Noahide Homeschool Alliance, International Noahide Torah Fellowship, Noahide Community Building, Training and Ordination of New Noahide Leadership, Noahide Networking and much more...
