Preparing the Way to a Noaic Religion

March 26th is Education day in the U.S.A. and I doubt that you know anything about it.

George W. H. Bush was going to make sure that the American population understood why you cannot allow different religions to exist side-by-side, and to introduce a set of laws that exist for Goyim (non-jews) to enable them to live a moral life. At least this is what he promised to do:

on March 26, 1991, U.S. President George Bush signed Public Law 102-14, a congressional resolution on the Seven Noahide Laws (H.J. Resolution 104, Public Law 102-14). “The bill was passed in the House by a voice vote on March 5, 1991 and was passed by the Senate on March 7, 1991.” The Proclamation was as follows:

“Whereas Congress recognized 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 principles have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization when they were referred to as the Seven Noahide Laws;

“Whereas without these ethical values and principles the edifice of civilization stand in serious peril of returning to 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 the Nation lose sight of their responsibility to transmit these historical ethical values from our distinguished past to the generations of the future;

“Whereas the Lubavitch movement has fostered and promoted these ethical values and principles throughout the world;

“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, ‘,’ this his ninetieth year will be seen as one of ‘education and giving,’ the year in which we turn education and charity to return the world to the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven Noahide Laws; and

“Whereas this will be reflected in an international scroll of honour signed by the President of the United States and other heads of state; Now, therefore, be it

“Resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That March 26, 1991, the start of the ninetieth year of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, leader of the worldwide Lubavitch movement, is designated as ‘EDUCATION DAY U.S.A.’ The President is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.”

We even have Roman Catholic reflections describe the growing respect for the Jewish tradition that has unfolded since the Second Vatican Council. A deepening Catholic appreciation of the eternal covenant between God and the Jewish people, together with a recognition of a divinely-given mission to Jews to witness to God’s faithful love, lead to the conclusion that campaigns that target Jews for conversion to Christianity are no longer theologically acceptable in the Catholic Church.

A gradual alignment is taking place.

Our most pressing task, to put it simply, is to launch an international Noachide revolution without delay. The process has already begun, with dozens of tiny Noachide communities having appeared throughout the United States, generally composed of former Christians who have abandoned that religion. The task of organizing the revolution can be divided into two broad stages:

In the second stage, the growing Noachide movement will seize political power—using only peaceful, lawful means—in the capitals of the Western nations. This, of course, will not take place until the Noachide society has grown to some threshold size. We do not know how large this needs to be nor which nations will join the revolution first, although the United States, as a fairly religious, conservative nation, certainly tops the list of prospects.

Patrick Grimm in his speech: ‘No More Wars for Israel’ quoted this little rhyme:

No one’s safe when freedom fails,
and good men rot in filthy jails,
and those who cried appease, appease,
are hung by those they tried to please.

—Author unknown (Patrick Grimm has no appreciation of spiritual laws.)

Let’s have a look at these so called laws:

What are the Noahide Laws

The Noahide Laws are said to be from the “Bible,” but evidently are Talmudic. The Encyclopedia Americana relates concerning the Noahide Laws:

“A Jewish Talmudic designation for seven biblical laws given to Adam and to Noah before the revelation to Moses on Mt Sinai and consequently binding all mankind. Beginning with Genesis 2:16, the Babylonian Talmud listed the first six commandments… After the flood a seventh commandment, given-to Noah, forbade the eating of flesh from living animals (Genesis 9:4). Throughout the ages scholars have viewed the Noahide Laws as a link between Judaism and Christianity, as universal norms of ethical conduct, as a basic concept of international law, or as a guarantee of fundamental human rights for all.”

“…the Noahide Laws apply only to non-Jews living under Jewish jurisdiction. Interestingly, Webster’s Dictionary, New International Edition 2nd Ed 1950, states that a Noachite is ‘one who has taken the 21st degree of the Scottish Rite (Freemasonry).’”

The order of the Laws varies from source to source; the following is the Chabad version.

The first of the Seven Noahide Laws is:

“Thou shall not engage in idol worship.”

“Idolatry” is clarified as:

“Any teaching or belief system that attempts to deify man (any man) or to humanize God is idolatry.”

Since the definition of “idolatry” is also culturally dependent, Christians, Buddhists and Hindus, among many others, would all be considered criminals. Islam, of course, takes this law to the extreme, fervently banning “idolatrous images.” However, according to this Noahide Law, Muslims who “worship” the kaaba stone at Mecca would be subject to punishment, although supposedly not death.

In other times and eras “God” was viewed as a female, such that, were such cultural biases reversed, the worship of God as a giant man in the sky, as found in Islam and Judaism, would also be considered idolatry. The Trinity of Catholicism is considered idolatrous, as are the many Hindus gods. Under this law, the precepts of Buddhism would be illegal, since Buddhism is designed to recognize and produce the “god within,” and to thus treat people and other sentient beings with dignity and respect, as godly entities. Pantheism, of course, or the recognition of the Divine in all creation, would also be illegal. People who erect “beautiful graven images,” even without intention to worship them, will also be subject to punishment. It is also forbidden to buy products from “idol-worshippers,” such as incense or health food from Hindus, if they are used in “idol-worship.” Bending down in front of an “idol” or picking up a brick and saying, “This is my god,” makes a person liable for (capital) punishment. Astrology and the “full form” of the Zodiac are forbidden, although separate images of the signs are permitted. “Complete” images of the sun and moon are also forbidden, as are various forms of jewellery and music. “Three-dimensional” forms of man (i.e., statuary) are also forbidden to be “gazed upon.” The three “chief idolatrous forms in the world” are the dragon, as a “symbol of the primordial serpent”; a “full figure of man” offering something from his extended palm (Christ as the “Pantocrator?”); and “a woman nursing an infant” (Madonna and Child). Anyone who induces someone else to bow to an idol is a “seducer” and is liable for punishment, which, again, is decapitation. Bowing down or genuflecting before a cross, of course, is considered idolatry.

The list goes on and on, with nitpicking over the smallest minutiae, including forbidden and permissible rocks, trees, water, ghosts and spirits, and how to “nullify” idolatrous images. “Witchcraft” and “divination” practised by a “Noahide,” i.e., “Child of Noah” or Gentile who follows the Laws, are debatable as to their permissibility under this Noahide Law, as one must be a “true wizard” to be liable for death by stoning. Astrology that determines a person’s character is permissible, but forecasts of the future are not.

The second of the Noahide Laws is:

“Thou shall not blaspheme God.”

It is further referenced at Leviticus 24:16:

“He who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him; the sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.”

This outrageous and inhumane law was lampooned in Monty Python’s brilliant and enlightening “Life of Brian”: “Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah!”

The concept of “God” has been culturally dependent, and those freethinkers who have questioned it have often constituted some of the most intelligent, honest and brave human beings around. This Law would catch in its deadly net not only “atheists,” who make up a tiny, highly persecuted minority, but evidently also anyone who did not agree with the Judaic interpretation of “God” as determined by the Torah, Tenach (”Old Testament”) and Talmud. In other words, the vengeful tribal god Yahweh. Blaspheming or cursing the gods of other cultures, by calling them “idols,” however, is not punishable. According to this interpretation, it is the duty of a pious Jew to “place the blasphemer under a ban of excommunication.” The belief in two powers, God and Satan, is also considered “blasphemy,” for God is “Lord and Master of all.” Ditto with the belief in Lucifer as a rebellious angel. “False” or “meaningless” oaths taken in the name of God are also forbidden (except the “prayer” said each year at Yom Kippur, wherein the pious can retract oaths made during the coming year). “One who curses G-d in the name of idolatry is subject to being attacked and killed by zealots, who are, in turn, held harmless by the law.“

Surprisingly, this Noahide Law is clarified by saying that one should refrain from insulting one’s “fellow man,” because “man was made in God’s image,” and hence one would be blaspheming. “Fellow man” evidently refers only to a pious Jew or Gentile Noahide. While asserting that God is absolutely separate, such that worshipping “him” in the creation is “idolatry,” this Noahide Law nonetheless paradoxically prescribes that one recognize the divine hand in everything and abstain as much as possible from speaking ill of any aspect of creation.

“Murder” is the subject of the third Noahide Law:

“Thou shall not shed innocent blood of an human or foetus nor ailing person who has a limited time to live.”

This Law is based on Genesis 9:6:

“Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed.”

Putting people to death for blaspheming the Name of the Omnipotent, who could not possibly be harmed by such assaults, would not constitute murder. Nor would it be “murder” to slaughter entire cultures (genocide) in that very same sacrosanct Name, as is the behavior of the “chosen people” depicted throughout the Old Testament. Such murder, as long as it is done by the group who makes up the rules, is apparently acceptable.

Under this law, doctors who perform abortions, along with their nurses and the patients themselves, could also be put to death. Someone who strikes a woman and kills her fetus receives the death penalty, provided the fetus is more than 40 days old. If under 40 days old, it is considered the same as the “destruction of the man’s seed,” which is an offence to be judged in Heaven, not on Earth. Euthanasia, or “mercy killing,” no matter how much the suffering, is punishable by death. Although some authorities claim it is permissible to save a woman’s life by aborting the fetus, others proscribe it. After much bickering, it is concluded that “spilling one’s seed” or masturbating is “strictly forbidden,” as it is equivalent to “murdering one’s own children.” In other words, masturbation is punishable by death.

The Fourth Law is against “illicit sex”:

“Thou shall not engage in bestial, incestuous, adulterous, or homosexual relations nor commit the act of rape.”

This Law also proscribes “fornication,” i.e., sex outside of marriage. However, polygamy–or more, appropriately, “polygyny,” or “many wives”–is exempt from this law, as is the possession of “concubines.”

The determination of what is considered “sexually immoral” has been a cultural artifact, not a writ from “God.” Cultures that have different sexual practices, such as the Tibetans, who for centuries practiced “polyandry,” or “many husbands,” would be considered deviant and criminal. The Tibetans had practical reasons for such practices: They lacked land and had to keep the population down. What is considered “adulterous” has likewise been culturally dependent.

Under this Law, a man could get the death penalty for having sex with his mother-in-law, for example. Like the biblical scriptures, the Noahide laws do not proscribe lesbianism; however, it is considered immoral and against natural laws, upsetting the natural order. Male homosexuality, in whatever form and whether with an adult or child, consentual or rape, private or public, is punishable by death. Under the Noahides, a man can have sex with the “Gentile wife of a Jew,” because she is not really his wife and is therefore unmarried. A Jewish wife is off limits. A man may also practice sodomy or other non-vaginal relations with a married woman, and such will not be considered adultery. The commentary on this Noahide relates:

“One who caresses a forbidden member of the opposite sex, or hugs or kisses in a manner of lust, or has close personal contact for the sake of pleasure, transgresses the commandment prohibiting forbidden relationships, but he is not punished by the courts. In all cases where the courts are not empowered to act, punishment is meted out by G-d.”

One must also not flirt with a “forbidden woman” in any way, shape or form.

More commentary:

“Relations with an animal are forbidden at any stage of the animal’s maturity, even the day of its birth.”

“Even the day of its birth” seems to imply there was doubt that it was wrong to have sex with an animal when it was newborn.

“Incest” is permissible when not siblings are not maternally related:

“The Children of Noah are considered related only through the mother. Those on the father’s side are not considered relatives. This means that a man’s half-sister of the same father but a different mother is not considered related to him, and is permissible to him.”

The fifth Law is against theft:

“Thou shall not steal.”

The term “theft” is ambiguous, as one could easily argue the case that the Federal Reserve’s business is “theft.” While the Noahide cult considers “adultery” as the “theft” of the wife, it doesn’t seem to recognize that taking sons and daughters away from their mothers and fathers, through warfare and the murder of “infidels,” could also constitute “theft.” Forcing people to conform to a belief in “God” or other intangible concept would seem to constitute “theft” of one’s intellectual freedom.

The theft of a woman during war is prohibited for Gentiles, or “Noahides” (i.e., “Children of Noah,” Gentiles who follow the Noahide Laws; Jews who follow them are called “Israelites”). Under various circumstances, such as a “Milchamot Mitzvah,” it is permissible for a Jew to steal a woman during war. The “Children of Noah” are forbidden to overcharge or engage in usury. Nothing is said of the “Children of Israel.” The justification for the death penalty for thieving is that the Noahide Courts are created to mete out justice so that the violator will not suffer punishment in the “World to Come,” i.e., the afterlife. “Because of the justice of the courts, therefore, a man can transgress and still receive a share of the World to Come as a righteous person.”

It is further believed that at , “God” decides what wealth one will acquire during the coming year, such that no one can change the outcome. Although this fact is not explicated upon in the Chabad exegesis of the Noahides, in Talmudic law there is a double standard as concerns theft, among other things. In many cases, it is permissible for an Israelite to steal from a Gentile.

The sixth Noahide Law is:

“Thou shall not be cruel to animals.”

This Law proscribes the “eating of the limb of a living animal,” and incorporates Genesis 9:4: “Only the flesh with the life thereof with the blood thereof thou shalt not eat.” It is sane and humane enough, although humans could be executed if convicted of cruelty to animals.

It appears odd that it was necessary to create a law against the “eating the limb of a living animal,” but apparently there was an epidemic of such behaviour among the biblical people. It is evidently permissible under Mosaic Law to eat an animal after it has been ritually slaughtered, while its limbs are still moving (although it is not necessarily still alive, with brain activity). The debate over which was proper, Mosaic or Noahide law, is presented in the story of Joseph and his brothers, representing one of the reasons Joseph was sold into slavery.

Unlike other ideologies, Judaism professes that animals have souls. (Latin: anima=soul) This Law surely seems the sanest of the lot, sounding very Jainist in its call for not deliberately harming animals and suggestion that those who do so are spiritually unsound, except that it apparently allows for the flaying alive of an animal and use of its hide. Animals killed humanely are available to eat. Gentiles are punishable no matter what animal they “eat of the limb of,” whereas Jews are guilty only if the animal is “spiritually clean,” i.e., “those that have split hooves and chew their cud.” The justification for this Law is that the soul of the animal must be detached from the body before humans can eat it, because, while the flesh of a human and animal may become one, their souls must never merge.

The seventh Law discusses the establishment of “courts of justice”:

“Thou shall establish laws and courts of law to administer these laws, including the death penalty for those who kill, administered only if there is one testifying witness.”

These “courts of justice” would be based on the Noahide Laws. Harsh punishments, such as the death penalty for breaking any of these Laws, would be strictly enforced. According to some sources, disciples will be the governors of these courts of justice.

According to a Chabad opinion, a boy is liable at the age of 13, and a girl at 12, such that they could be executed at these ages. Any court that does not follow the Noahides is considered to be “an instrument for driving G-d’s blessings out of the world.“ Failure to establish a Noahide court is punishable by death, as is the establishment of a court other than one based on the “Seven Universal Laws.” If a city does not institute justice according to the Noahide Laws, all inhabitants are liable. The only punishment meted out by the Noahide courts of law in criminal cases is the death penalty.” The defendant, however, must be judged “mentally competent.” Circumstantial evidence is admissible in a Noahide court. The death penalty for a murderer cannot be appealed and must be carried out swiftly. Judges in the Noahide courts are to be chosen using strict criteria, including that they possess the following:

“a. wisdom b. humility c. fear of Heaven d. fear of Sin e. contempt for money f. love of truth g. beloved by his fellow man h. a good reputation”

A woman, however, may never be a judge, nor can a “slave,” small child, “fool” or “the insane.” Deaf mutes and the blind are also forbidden.

“Whoever disgraces himself publicly is disqualified as a witness. These are people who walk and eat in a coarse, impolite fashion in public, or who go naked in public, or who are involved in any disgusting work or activity, or anyone who feels no self-embarrassment. All these people are considered on the level of a dog, and we cannot trust them to be stringent against giving false testimony.”

We have Rabbi Schneerson to thank for unleashing these un-spiritual laws on our societies’.

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902–1994), was successful in expanding the ranks of Chabad and spreading Orthodox Judaism in general. Even after his death he is revered as the leader of the Chabad movement.

Why Menachem Schneerson plays so central a role in this development is unclear, except that his followers–Hassidic Chabad-Lubavitcher Jews–at the time of Bush’s resolution believed he was the Messiah. When Schneerson, a “direct descendant of King David,” failed to rise from the dead three days after he died in June 12, 1994, it was clear he wasn’t the Messiah, although some Lubavitchers still await his resurrection.

In USA domestic politics Schneerson supported government involvement in education, welcomed the establishment of the United States Department of Education in 1980, but insisted that part of school’s educational mission was to inculcate in children the religious values inherent in the Seven Laws of Noah. He called for the introduction of a Moment of silence at the beginning of the school day, and for students to be encouraged to use this time for such improving thoughts or prayers as their parents might suggest.

Could this be a possible explanation for the draconian laws passed in California, refusing the right of parents to home-school their children. Home schooling would free the children from any such ‘education’.

Although it seems incredible that these archaic and culturally biased laws could be applicable or relevant to 21st-century America, the wheels are apparently in motion. Such legislation as that passed under George Bush snr. is indicative of what the future holds, i.e., a fascist theocracy, in which the death penalty would be wielded freely.

Armageddon is being choreographed and applauded.

If we are to make headway in peace processes it needs to be recognised that any, so called, religion which preaches ‘any’ kind of violence. Towards:

• Other religions
• Other populations who have different views
• Women
• Children
• Other sexual orientations
• Political idealisms

Needs to be avoided at all costs.

Nothing peaceful can ever come from violent acts, and using God as a shield for atrocities committed, for whatever reason, shows a complete mis-understanding of spiritual laws.
