My Beliefs: I am a Ben Noach (son of Noah. 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 .
