There are times that the Creator sends something or someone across your path for you to take note, some times you pick up on this and at other times it may take a period of time before you get the heavenly message. This happened to me this past week in a number of ways, there …

My Beliefs: I am a Bnei Noach (Child of Noah. A Bnei Noach is one who keeps the seven laws given by the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob to the non-Jewish nations. The Laws were given from Adam through Noah. Bnei Noach/Noahide are modern terms for the non-Jewish followers of the G-d of Israel. There are a few ancient biblical names, in the Hebrew they are, Yiras Hashem (God Fearers), Ger/Gerim (this term appears many times in the biblical text, depending on the context it can mean a stranger or foreigner who keeps the Bnei Noach covenant.
The Seven Law
1. Awareness of God
a. The belief in the One True non-corporeal God
2. Prohibition of blasphemy
a. The obligation to respect God's Name, to revere and fear God .
b. Prohibition of cursing any of God's Names
3. Prohibition of murder and injury
4. Prohibition of forbidden sexual relations
5. Prohibition of theft
6. Prohibition of eating meat that was separated from a living animal.
7. Establishment of laws and courts.

Big Blue Marble

Father and Child
When I was studying to join the Jewish nation, one of the things you begin to learn, is how to study the Hebrew Scriptures. There are different levels of study and the one I want to introduce and set up this blog is (in my own words), after you have gained everything a verse or …
Nothing But Lies
There is a common voice that many who come to the 7 Universal Laws are voicing. Many of us who have been around a while voiced this same concern but I do not remember it being as common as it is now, maybe with the growth of online groups we are hearing it more. And …
The Essence of Being Noahide

Religious baggage does not go away overnight or sometimes even in years. It is one of our hardest struggles. Being a Noahide includes accepting the 7 Universal Laws, …
