General Bates speaks:Please let me clarify something, if you please. The Noachide Laws were given to Noah after the Flood, according to the Rabbinical Authorities (See Genesis:9, also Deuteronomy 17:10-12 for an affirmation of the authority of the Rabbis to interpret the Law), and they entail these Seven Laws:
1)No Idol Worship
2)"Bless" the Divine Name
3)NO Murder
4)NO Stealing
5)NO Animal Cruelty/Blood consuming
6)NO Sexual Immorality
7)Honor Just COurts
They incorporate the general principles that a Gentile would live by in order to please G-d. They are not the Ten Commandments because those were given to Jews specifically. Of course, "Reform" Judaism, liberal Judaism, does not see these as absolutes any more than it sees Torah Judaism as absolute. However, they are absolute. They are not a religion, but the Laws by which G-d is pleased.
In no sense are they Christian, except that they comprised the outward behavior of a righteous Gentile, an expectation expressed by the Rabbis of moral behavior that was unquestioned by the early Christians, if interpreted differently (If you doubt me, research these New Testament Quotes, "Acts 15:20", as an affirmation within Christianity itself of the lesser known Noachide Commandments against Idolatry, Fornication, Consumming Blood, Animal Cruelty; and also "Romans: 13", for the Commandment of Just Courts/Civil Government).
These Laws were also understood by our nation's Founding Fathers. They interpreted them differently than the Rabbis did, in a Christian and a Freemasonic interpretation and not in a Jewish Light, yet they still fully understood the need for national morality. We have lost this today. We need to get it back. Join me in spreading awareness of these Laws, and please feel free to ask me any questions here:

My friends, G-d's Laws are not optional. Majorities cannot vote them in or out. Remember that America was intended to be a Republic and not a democracy. This was, in part, a recognition that G-d's Laws do not ask our consent.
Thankyou good people for your time.
