Beware the Rabbinic Trappings of the 7 Noahide Laws!

The basis for the "Seven Noahide Laws" is entirely founded on Jewish Oral Law and Tradition. The content of the seven laws is partially good (like most evil cloaked in good), but the burden of commitment to Rabbinic Oral Torah is a complex web of deception, riddled with anti-Torah innovations, which leads one down a road of serving many masters, and not the Master .

The Seven Noahide Laws 

1. Prohibition of Idolatry
2. Prohibition of Murder
3. Prohibition of Theft
4. Prohibition of Sexual Promiscuity, including adultery, incest, bestiality and male homosexual intercourse.
5. Prohibition of Blasphemy: You shall not blaspheme God's name which includes speaking It (a strict ban of Rabbinic Oral Law). 
6. Dietary Law: Do not eat flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive.
7. Requirement to have just Laws: Set up courts of Law.

According to the Jewish Tosefta Avodah Zarah 8.4, quoted in Talmud Sanhedrin 56a.

The most alarming rabbinic prohibition that many of these Noahides unwittingly submit themselves is the ban on any pronunciation on the Divine Name (even though commands us to use His Name). Although some willingly and knowingly submit to the ban on the pronunciation, few really understand the ramifications of breaking the ban according to the Rabbis:

"It is forbidden to read the glorious and terrible name as it is written, as the sages said "He that pronounces the name as it is written has no portion in the world to come". Therefore it must be read as if it were written Adonai." (Mishnah Berurah 5:2) See also: Babylonian Talmud: Sanhedrin 90a/10:1 

In order to understand what the 7 Laws really mean and how they are applied in most situations, one is forced to consult the Torah, but primarily, one takes a vow to consult the Rabbinic commentary and enactments supposedly derived from the Torah. Some of the rabbinic enactments have and some have NOT been derived from Torah, but instead... are "innovations of men" which actually transgress the Written Torah by adding and taking away from It.

It is somewhat shocking to observe how people fill so overwhelming compelled to put themselves under a false religious system of authority, instead of simply going to the Holy Scriptures and living life according to the Ruakh/Spirit of . I strongly caution anyone desiring to do this, that is... to become a Noahide.

Truly seek and consult and His Word to see if such is really necessary at this stage. Do you really need a group of men to decide you are "righteous"?

In the future, we know Eliyahu/Elijah (according to Malachi and Yeshua) will come and restore "all things" before the Great and Terrible Day, and hence he will likely restore a system of authority similar to ancient Israel, but until that time... I suggest patience, study, and watchfulness. Don't make vows that really only bestow more authority upon an religious system of men who overtly and covertly usurp the authority of . 

Please know, I am not anti-authority. I'm against authority that believes it has usurped the Authority of Heaven. A time of righteous judgment and righteous authority is coming, but it is not yet found in Rabbinic Judaism as a whole. Maybe the Rabbinic system will be changed from within and become a truly Torah-based system, but this will likely only come about after much trauma is sustained by those currently wielding power.
