Distinct Experiences

Have you heard that the Noahide Laws are just seven simple Biblical rules everyone should agree with? They're lying to you. In reality, they are premised on Gentiles being ontologically inferior, ban Christianity as idolatry, and prescribe death by decapitation for worshippers of Christ. It's basically Jewish Temu-Sharia, and the devil is in the details and small print. If you want to understand the reach of Jewish influence, in 1982, Ronald Reagan called for a "National Day of Reflection" on them in honor of the Chabad Messiah's birthday, George HW Bush proclaimed specials days of honor for them in 1989 and 1990, and Congress went further in 1991 with Public Law 102-14, declaring that the ethical principles underlying civilization had been known “from the dawn of civilization." This November 2-6, Noahide leaders from six continents are scheduled to gather in Jerusalem for the First International Congress of Noahides to formally establish a worldwide Noahide movement. Delegates are scheduled to sign a founding charter, establish an international Beit Din with Israel-based rabbinic judges, elect six continental councils, and create a unified religious syllabus and organizational structure, with Jerusalem designated the movement’s spiritual center. There will be an official reception at the residence of Israel’s president, Benjamin Netanyahu. That's influence. And Christians have absolutely no idea they are signing onto a religious reception based upon the doctrines of Jewish Supremacy and anti-Christian theology. It's a religious coup, and we are being led astray by a movement that kicked off in the United States by a Rabbi who stated on the record, “I have no sympathy for Christianity. I have no respect for it. I have no tolerance for it.” Read more at Insight to Incite. Link in bio. Audio available.

This will be the most thorough and entertaining treatise on why the Noahide system should be flatly rejected by Christians as subversive and unbiblical that you will ever read. Here are some excerpts: "Ben Shapiro helped bring the Noahide Laws to the stage at a recent Turning Point USA event, and it's all the Internet has been talking about since. Clips circulated of him explaining the Noahide framework to his audience. He also encouraged a Christian questioner to continue believing in Jesus and attending church. Christians praised him for this. They shouldn’t. The Noahide framework is an unbiblical, theologically untenable, and blasphemous framework designed to introduce the West to Jewish Temu-Sharia, and if Christians *actually* understood the Noahide system, they'd hand it over to Satan where it belongs. The devil is in the details, and rabbis are in the fine print. Jews, like Shapiro or Yoram Horzony (commended by Will Spencer at Doug Wilson’s New Saint Andrews, just a few weeks ago), often encourage Christians to keep going to church, and even endorse a Christian America. The practical reason is less admirable. Horzony explicitly stated in his essay that it’s because “a Christian America is what’s best for Jews.” Israelis need a superpower sugar-daddy, and the only way that happens is if American evangelicals remain captive to Jewry. But it’s the religious reasons they aren't asking to convert you that will drop your jaw. The Talmud says that converts from Christianity to Judaism “are as harmful to the Jewish people as a leprous scab” (Yevamot 47b). Heck, Sanhedrin 59a calls for Christians to be killed for studying the first five books of the Bible. Yevamot 109b practically forbids conversion and warns against accepting converts: “Evil after evil will befall those who accept converts.” In the coming Messianic age, converts aren’t even allowed: “Converts are not accepted in the days of the Messiah” (Yevamot 24b). Notice the Judeo-Christian discrepancy. Christians (except Dispensationalists) are busy telling as many Jews as possible about Jesus before the clock runs out. Jews, on the other hand, have a millennial reign that requires them to stop converting people or else they’ll never get their 2,200 gentile slaves in the eschaton (that’s a thing, too - Shabbat 32b). Hopefully, you get the point. Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity are like two peas from two very different pods of completely different plants. And this is the first thing you need to understand about Halakha. It is completely predicated upon the Talmudic supposition that Gentiles are inferior and worth less to God Almighty. But start speaking out about the civilizational dangers of the Noahide framework, and you’ll receive no shortage of Christian Zionists who are eager to cooperate with Jews to create a new moral order for the world. What could go wrong? Shave off four commandments from Moses, the ones Gentiles don’t need to obey, let Rabbis interpret the commandments, and embrace Sharia for Gentiles. The real question is why Christians would even consider adopting a religious framework that does not recognize Jesus as God. And further, why would we take advice on public morality from the people who vote 92% Democrat? Like, maybe adopting the moral standards of the people who brought us usury, abortion, feminism, and Bolshevik Communism is not the way to lecture us on what it means to be a moral person. If you don’t believe that, let me introduce you to the progenitors of trans surgery for minors and the owner of seven of the eight largest pornography companies. But what about "Judeo-Christian values?" American Jewish voters currently vote Democrat at higher rates than gays, Blacks, Hispanics, and even transsexuals. Evangelicals who attend church vote Republican at roughly the same rate. Christians and Jews disagree about abortion, marriage, education, feminism, childhood sex changes, gambling, pornography, euthanasia, and virtually every moral issue under the sun. Acting like we both have values going back to Noah is preposterous. We didn’t come out of the same spiritual womb, we don’t have the same spiritual father, and we won’t have the same eternal zip code in the world to come. Contrary to the public consensus on Noahide Laws over in Dispensationalist-Land, there is nothing a Christian should agree with in regard to Noahide Laws. The trick is simple: Take commandments God progressively revealed to Noah, let people who both deny and hate Jesus define what they mean, install as judges of God’s Law the people most historically notorious for breaking it, let those who are the most famously inept at interpreting God’s Law tell you what it means, and then claim that the whole package comes from Noah, while dismissing the laws that God progressively revealed to Moses because we are Gentiles, and we are not capable or worthy of following those laws. Gay. No. This is a bad idea. A Christian confesses that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, that His resurrection vindicates His claims, and that His authority extends over every nation. We embrace the immutable, eternal Moral Law given to Moses, adopt the Ten Commandments as our own, and let Jesus define their meaning. Shapiro rejects His divinity, and the Pharisees - whom Jesus repeatedly rebukes for not understanding the Law - are who interpret it for Ben Shapiro. No, we will not give Rabbis a clipboard and ask them to evaluate whether we are doing it right. They’re going to hell when they die. We dare not ask them for directions. For crying out loud, folks, Jesus said that if our “righteousness does not exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven” (Matthew 5:20). The Pharisees just plucked out 4 commandments and told us to never mind. If that’s not eternal sabotage, I don’t know what is. We’ll take all ten. They’re ours. Thanks. Christians already possess a moral standard. We don't approach the world as spiritual orphans waiting for an outside institution to give us seven instructions. We have Scripture. We have the Commandments, interpreted through the teaching of Christ and His apostles, and no shortage of work in obeying them. And the great irony is that most of those evangelicals denouncing Christian Nationalism for insisting the government enforce God’s last and most complete revelation on what is and is not moral, the Ten Commandments, are the ones doing cartwheels over letting Rabbis enforce seven of them. The Seven Noahide Laws prohibit idolatry, blasphemy, murder, sexual immorality, theft, and eating flesh taken from a living animal, while requiring courts of justice. But Christians already oppose murder and theft, and most church potlucks manage to avoid serving anything that is still protesting its dismemberment. The controversy is about who runs the court that hands out death penalties for violating them. Thankfully, Halakha and Talmudic Judaism are very clear about who enforces the Noahide Laws. And no, the Noahide system does not go back to Noah. It first appears in early rabbinic literature, particularly the Tosefta, compiled during the centuries following the New Testament period. In other words, the Noahide system is younger than Christianity. The Babylonian Talmud, not the Old Testament, develops the framework. Maimonides, the most prominent and revered rabbi in history, considered the most authoritative Jewish teacher, later systematized Noahide obligations in the Mishneh Torah. The system comes not from the Bible, but from rabbinic compilation and interpretation, not from a command from Christ directing His church to adopt it. At no point in the New Testament or Old Testament does the Word of God say, “You Gentiles, just follow some of those.” Sure, its advocates claim it comes from Noah. And Genesis certainly contains commands for humanity after the Flood. It does not contain a numbered seven-law declaration establishing the later rabbinic system as the religious constitution of Gentile Christians. That’s where the poppycock begins. We Christians believe that God progressively revealed His will in the Adamic Covenant, the Noahic Covenant, the Abrahamic Covenant, and the Davidic Covenant, all culminating in the complete revelation given to us through Jesus Christ in the New Covenant. These are not separate covenants, per se, but one Covenant of Grace, progressively revealed and ultimately revealed in Christ. We have the FULL revelation of God's Law. The Bible calls the Old Testament a pedagogue (Galatians 3:24), or tutor, needed before we are immersed in the Holy Ghost (born again by faith in Christ). A nanny might wipe your butt. A tutor might help you add two and two to get four. A babysitter might keep you from sticking a fork in the socket. All of these are less necessary as you grow. Just as a tutor takes you from simple addition to long division to algebra and then calculus, God progressively instructed mankind throughout redemptive history. In this biblical metaphor, the Jews are insisting we stay at long division, because our tiny Gentile brains can’t understand calculus. Meanwhile, they’re off using Common Core math and getting the answers embarrassingly wrong. Christians calling for Noahide laws are calling for our own death. In Laws of Kings and Wars 8:9, the published English translation reads, “For every gentile who does not accept these commandments must be executed if he is under our undisputed authority.” You get that, right? If Jews are in charge, Christians die. Period. Full stop. The following subsection, 8:10, says Moses was commanded to compel humanity to accept the commandments given to Noah’s descendants, which is not at all in the Bible. It then prescribes execution for refusal. Anyone marketing the system as a harmless collection of universal manners should explain how those provisions fit the presentation, because the author didn't accidentally leave a firing squad in his etiquette manual. And that manual, the real Noahide framework as taught by Jews, will not leave Christians alive and still standing. Laws of Kings and Wars 9:14 also permits a Noahide judgment through one judge and one witness. Those rules differ from the protections the Bible specifies for capital defendants. They also differ from the protections Jews receive under Halakha. In no uncertain terms, under Noahide, a Gentile can be put to death more easily than a Jew. The predictable response from Judeo-Judaizers is that “modern Jewish authorities” make allowances for Christians. I’d ask who asked them? Since when do we need Jews to accept our worship? This is supposed to comfort us? I have absolutely no doubt that Jews pitching Noahide laws to Christians would tell us they’ll make exceptions for us. I guess we should be flattered. And we shouldn’t believe them. Christians should be at least curious enough to notice what’s missing, and why. The Noahide list omits (1) Sabbath observance, (2) honoring parents, (3) prohibiting covetousness, (4) or not bearing false witness. Christians recognize all four as divine commandments, not optional accessories for those who buy the deluxe religion. The interpreter is who determines what those categories include and whom they bind. And the interpreter in the Noahide system are not Gentile courts. They are rabbinic ones. And right now, as America (rightly) clamps down on Sharia courts, there are nearly identical Halakha courts in New York State and Manhattan, Chicago, Los Angeles (two, one for LA and one for greater California), Miami Beach, Boca Raton, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Dallas, Denver, Seattle, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and two in New Jersey. Most of these Jewish courts have their own Jewish law enforcement and can have the U.S. court system enforce their rulings. So, two Jews sue each other, the Halakha court issues a ruling based on Jewish law instead of U.S. law (reinforcing their belief that Jews and Gentiles need different legal systems), and then American taxpayers fund the American court collecting on that debt. They are their own law-givers, judge, and jury, but we Americans pay to enforce their verdicts. Our resources fund the collection of Jewish debts. In places like Lakewood NJ, the Jewish authorities have even managed to use public tax dollars to support their parallel court and justice system, including their Jewish police, which answer to the Halakha court. Unlike Halakha courts, Sharia courts cannot have American courts enforce their rulings, except in Michigan. There are no Islamic or Muslim-only police forces that answer to Sharia courts, as there are with Halakha. Why do we allow either? At least twelve states have laws banning Sharia courts: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas. Several of these have Halakha courts, hypocritically. Most of those states also have resolutions or laws praising or supporting Noahide declarations, which are actual Halakha. Noahide Laws are one half, the Gentile half, of Halakha. Christians are literally signing on to a Sharia-style legal system by championing the Noahide system. Why not encourage ALL of God's Moral Law? It's about civilization conquest. If you want a civilization to collapse, fall in on itself, squander its cultural inheritance, and shutter into ruin, which commandment would you omit? You’d tell them not to honor their parents. It's no wonder it's omitted from the fake Noahide construct. Covenant Theology has historically taught that this commandment requires obedience to God and every other rightful ruling authority in their lives. This is also the command that has most aggressively been attacked by despots trying to conquer nations and instructing children that they don’t have to obey their parents. Christians affirming Noahide Laws need to stop and ask how their society will look without it. The New Testament affirms this commandment in Ephesians 6:1-3, and the Ephesians, if you recall, were Gentiles. Why are they even considering this? Now let’s assume you’re a group of ancestral parasites who have historically plundered nations for their bounty, extracted wealth by usury and finance, or maybe even built a wall around your neighbors so they couldn’t leave, destroyed 98% of their habitable structures, and ethnically cleansed them to take their land. You know, hypothetically. Which commandment would you want them to avoid thinking about? Right. Not coveting what belongs to others. That would be the last commandment you’d want them to muse about. That one is missing from the Noahide system, too. I’m sure this has nothing to do with the Talmud repeatedly teaching that Jews can take Gentiles’ stuff, right? For example, Bava Kamma 113b says that Jews don’t need to return the lost property of Gentiles; they can keep it. Sanhedrin 76b even says returning their stuff is a sin. I wouldn’t want to introduce them to covetousness, either. Notice the Sabbath is missing. This is for a clear reason. Rabbinic Judaism teaches that only Jews are worthy of a day of rest, and imposes the death penalty for observing the Sabbath. Why would Christians embrace a system that steals from us a day of rest that's set aside for God's glory? Our Savior is the Lord of the Sabbath. If anything, Jews are not entitled to it, because they've rejected the Sabbath's Lord. God did not give down His law so that there could be a permanent subordinate religious class. God gave us the Law so we can figure out that we are all equally damned for hell without an atonement paying for our legal infractions. He wrote it down with His own finger into tablets of stone so we could more easily keep track of why we need a Savior. He gave it so that we can know what He requires of us. He did not give it to us so four commandments could be ripped out, and seven others be handed to us with Rabbis along with a questionnaire about our neck circumference to fit the guillotine. And we’ll not give it up. If the Law is a pedagogue or tutor, and the tutor brings us to Christ as the Text says, it would not enroll us indefinitely under teachers who deny Him. Remember the threefold purpose of the Law: to teach us our duty, make clear our condemnation, and show us our need of a Savior. Jews understand none of those. No Rabbi on God’s green earth understands his duty, his condemnation, or his need for a Savior. Rabbis can teach us nothing. When Jesus said, “For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven,” He follows it with verses about anger and retaliation (6th Commandment), lust, and marriage (7th Commandment), oaths (9th Commandment), and love (a summary of both Tables). Noahide practitioners would omit Christ’s instructions. At least, when speaking to the Gentiles. The Noahide Laws are a power play to let Rabbis control a Christian society under the Dispensational lie that Jews have some kind of special connection to God and hold a mastery of the Old Testament. They do not. These people mastered the Old Testament so well that some didn’t recognize their own prophesied Messiah, and others who did recognize Him crucified Him anyway. No, we Christians categorically deny that unbelievers can teach us how to better follow God’s Law. We also deny that anything they do pleases God without faith in Christ (Hebrews 11:6). We therefore need no ruling declaring Christian worship acceptable under Noahide law. Instead, we will tell them to bow to their King. The righteousness of Noahide Laws is as filthy rags."
