About Noahide; Honestlyl, what I remember about some of the bible studies I attended in school is enough to fill a thimble. :) I took some of those classes mostly out of interest in the cute guys! That took me about 100 years to admit that. lol Some things I retained more clearly than others. I don't claim to know the answers. In fact some things I recall in bits and pieces and some things I have to ask my brother, because he is the expert. :) For this one I found some good info on the net. This will better explain it than my feeble attempt.

The Seven Noahide Laws are the minimal observance for non-Jews. The source of these laws and the basis of their understanding is the Oral Torah, which G-d gave to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai along with His Written Law. According to the explanation of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Hasidic Gentiles are also expected to perform additional mitzvos (commandments, laws, good deeds), such as giving to charity, praying regularly, and studying Torah. By learning from the Jews and performing the mitzvos, non-Jews have a crucial role in repairing and developing G-d's Creation.

The Seven Noahide Laws are the following:

Prohibition of idolatry

Prohibition of blasphemy

Prohibition of murder

Prohibition of theft

Prohibition of illicit relations

Prohibition of eating live meat

Prohibition of failing to establish courts of justice
