Hey Decon, for those who are not aware of the Noahide Laws this short description may be educational to some. And maybe it will help you to keep your focus while you are enjoying your expresso and sugar restoration time.
Question: "What are the Noahide laws, and are they biblical?"
Answer: The Noahide laws are seven ancient laws that many people view as the basis of civilized society. They govern morality and represent the “bare minimum” of what God expects of humanity. They are called the “Noahide” laws because they are thought to have been given in their fullness to Noah after the flood. They are also called the Noachian laws, the Seven Laws of Noah, or the Seven Commands for Noah’s Sons (in Hebrew,
Sheva Mitzvot B'nei Noach).
Here are the Noahide laws:
1. Do not deny God (no idolatry).
2. Do not murder.
3. Do not steal.
4. Do not engage in sexual immorality.
5. Do not blaspheme.
6. Do not eat of a live animal (no eating flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive).
7. Establish courts and legal systems to ensure obedience of these laws.
Are the Noahide laws found in the Bible? No, not as a definitive list, and they are certainly not associated with either Noah or Adam. Are the Noahide laws congruent with biblical teaching? The basic seven laws are congruent with Old Testament revelation. The Talmud calls for capital punishment for Gentiles who violate the Noahide laws, and this has led to some debate as to whether or not Christians (who worship Jesus Christ) are guilty of violating the first Noahide law and therefore deserving of the death penalty. The modern consensus is that
Trinitarianism is acceptable among Gentiles. In any case, it is important to note that "
we are not saved by rule-keeping; God requires faith in His Son" (John 3:18).
