WHAT ARE THE SEVEN LAWS OF NOAH?
The rabbis say that the non Jews do not need to
fulfill to all the commandments of the Law of God (Torah), but only seven
commandments, that they call “the seven laws of Noah”.
They say that these seven laws were given by God to
the children of Noah, that is, to all the humankind, and that the non Jews who
live in accordance with these seven laws are righteous gentiles and will have a place in the
World to Come (‘Olam Haba).
However, this doctrine of the rabbis is not correct,
because it is written in the Torah, in Exodus 12:49 and Numbers 15:15-16, that
God said that His Law is the same for the natives in Israel and for the
strangers, what proves that all the human beings, of all nations, must obey all
the commandments of God, that are in His Law (Torah).
Moreover, in Isaiah 56:3 and 56:6-7 it is written that
the sons of strangers who join themselves to God keep the Shabbat and adhere to
the pact of God, and God considers them part of His people, and they can enter
the Temple of God, and their holocausts and sacrifices will be accepted by God,
and that the Temple of God will be called house of prayer for all peoples, and
it is written in Ezekiel 44:9, that God said that no son of stranger,
uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh, shall enter into His
sanctuary, what proves that all the non Jews who want to join God must obey all
the commandments of the Law of God (Torah), and must adhere to the pact of God,
making the circumcision, and must become part of the people of God, that is the
people of Israel.
Therefore, it is verified that all the persons, of all
nations, must convert to Judaism, starting to obey all the commandments of the
Law of God (Torah).
The strangers mentioned in Deuteronomy 14:21 are those
non Jews who refuse to join God and to obey His commandments, and the strangers
mentioned in Isaiah 56:3 and 56:6-7 are the non Jews who join God and start to
obey all His commandments, that are in His Law (Torah), and thus convert to
Judaism and start to be part of the people of God, that is the people of
Israel.
Yahveh bless you.
