Ärende: Noachide Transformati 1/2
=================================
Hello Steve,

>SA>There is a restrainer, who restricts the mystery of iniquity
>SA>from running its full course, until he be taken away, and the

>SH>Say what?

>VH>A communique from the Tinfoil Helmet Brigade. :-)

>SA>The liberals posing as conservatives who post in this echo scoff, as is
>SA>their way, nevertheless, there is a program under way to transform the
>SA>USA (and other Western nations) into a society based upon the seven
>SA>"Noachide Laws", which among other things will result in the abolition
>SA>of Christmas, and the elimination (execution) of Christians.

>SA>Here is an example of the campaign to abolish "X-mas":

>LL>Don't laugh.  Some Jews are very serious about this.  Which is the

SA>The liberals who pose as conservatives in this echo have little choice
SA>but to scoff and to laugh - having rejected the truth & exchanged it for
SA>a lie, they have sown to the wind, and are about to reap the whirlwind. :(

They have merely replaced one religion for another.  Without realizing
what they have done.

SA>The Noachide Laws which the US Congress & Presidents speak so glowingly
SA>of in their laws do not bring redemption, and do not make a gentile
SA>righteous in the sight of God ... in fact, they mock and blaspheme God,
SA>who so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son to redeem us
SA>where the Law condemned us.

None of the Framers of the Constitution believed in The Noachide Laws.
And yet today's politicians proclaim those laws as being the "Word of
God".

SA>The Noachide Laws (which the New Agers etc market as "Universal Laws")
SA>do not save, and have their origin in Babylon. Rather than saving, they
SA>reject worship of Jesus Christ and prayers to Him as idolatry, punishable
SA>by beheading.

A while back I had run across a web page citing the history of how those
laws began.  Can't remember the url, but will try to do another search.

SA>========================================================================

SA>A JEWISH MESSAGE FOR MANKIND

SA>Many non-Jews, especially those who come to Israel and Jerusalem, are
SA>interested in what, if anything, Judaism has to say to them, and how
SA>Jews regard them. Jewish tradition has a clear response.

SA>(snip)

SA>But Universal man is not forgotten by God-- his redemption is the
SA>raison d'etre of the Jewish people. Our tradition, based on God's
SA>addresses to Adam, Noah and Company, subsumes the rules of living for
SA>every man under the rubric of the 7 laws of Noah. Any gentile who
SA>accepts and fulfills them is righteous and has a share in the world to
SA>come. No formal religious ritual or liturgy is required, tho shared
SA>traditions and texts and meeting together for prayer and study may be
SA>necessary to build a viable Noachide society. In March 1991 the U.S.
SA>Congress passed and Pres. Bush signed into law a resolution praising
SA>Noachism as the oldest human religion.

SA>Due to persecution of the Jews, little was done to teach these laws
SA>for the last few thousand years, despite Maimonides' command to do so
SA>(Laws of Kings). Interest in them has revived over the last few years
SA>and Noahide groups and literature are slowly but surely springing up
SA>amidst Western civilization. Some Noahides cut all ties with their
SA>past, viewing Jesus and Christianity as irrelevant, possibly harmful,
SA>to their lives and faith. Others retain ties to Jesus as a teacher,
SA>possibly messianic, but reject Christianity and its pagan holidays,
SA>e.g. Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. All reject any Divinity of
SA>Jesus and view prayers to him as idolatry.

SA>(snip)

SA>A simple statement of the 7 laws: 1) not to murder. 2) not to worship
SA>idols. 3) not to steal. 4) not to take another's wife or commit
SA>incest. 5) not to eat meat of an animal still alive. 6) not to
SA>blaspheme. 7) to establish well-functioning legal and political
SA>systems. Basically, every person should acknowledge God's Revelation
SA>to Israel, Israel's unique role, and his or her duty to be a decent
SA>human being (plus one "kosher" law above, #5). No one is encouraged to
SA>become Jewish, though some sources feel that study and observance of
SA>the Torah is good for everyone.

Man has always searched for religious truth.  But religious truth and
political opinion are not one and the same.  Just because some Jews
believe one thing does not mean that particular view is shared by all.
Nor does it mean that their view is the correct view.
