The Church Militant is yet another Catholic Online Magazine that has gone Noahide. They have published an article by famous Noahide Law advocate Arthur Goldberg about how the Noahide Laws are the foundation of America and one of their writers has stated that the Noahide Laws are "binding" on all mankind.
ARTHUR GOLDBERG'S BIO ON THE CHURCH MILITANT SAYS HE ADVOCATES FOR NOAHIDE LAW

Arthur Goldberg founded the Jewish Institute for Global Awareness, an organization advocating the Judeo-Christian worldview (the Noahide Code) and FundingMorality.com, a crowdfunding site that provided an alternative fundraising platform for pro-life, pro-family causes. The two sites were shut down by court order and ordered Goldberg to pay $3 million after the Southern Poverty Law Center targeted Goldberg in a lawsuit. Goldberg is fighting the ruling, and individuals may donate to his legal fund here.
ARTHUR GOLDBERG WRITES IN THE CHURCH MILITANT ABOUT THE NOAHIDE LAWS AND PUBLIC LAW 102-14
DIRECT QUOTE
Today we are in a fight for the hearts and souls of our nation. Less than 30 years ago, the 102nd Congress passed a joint resolution recognizing "the historical tradition of ethical values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which our great nation was founded," that these ethical values and principles "have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven Noahide Laws," and that "without these ethical values and principles, the edifice of civilization stands in serious peril of returning to chaos."

THE WAR ON STATUES AND THE DEMORALIZING OF AMERICA
NEWS: COMMENTARY
A 1980s Soviet defector predicted the latest culture war
As a young man in the 1960s, I worked with others of my generation to enhance American democracy. As a mature person in 2020, I am offended (along with others of my generation) to see ongoing efforts to destabilize American democracy.
Back when we supported peaceful actions to end racial segregation in America, these activities included sit-ins to integrate public facilities, freedom rides to desegregate public transportation and voter-registration drives to end disenfranchisement. In the process, we willingly and peacefully accepted punishment for breaking existing laws with which we disagreed — typically laws that authorized segregation. Many of us were trained in methods of non-violent resistance, both physically and psychologically. Subsequently, we worked to change the very laws we opposed, through litigation and by developing legislation to assure equal opportunities for all.
By contrast, the agitators of 2020, who are wantonly destroying property, effectively seek to dismantle government itself. They also seek to create equal results for all rather than simply providing equal opportunity to succeed based on merit. To do so, the agitators converted peaceful protests about George Floyd's death (protected by the First Amendment) into acts of violence through vandalism, riots and looting. Instead of peacefully submitting to law enforcement for their law-breaking actions, these trespassers resist police, demand the defunding or elimination of police and appear determined to tear down the essential fabric of America's institutions, while destroying our history. Rather than non-violence being their guide-star, they foment anarchy.
Regrettably, governmental supporters (mayors, governors and legislative bodies) in so-called progressive cities and states (as well as the majority of the mainstream media) tacitly endorse these destructive, non-peaceful actions. Local governments order law enforcement agencies to stand idle and to avoid engaging these forces of destruction. The net effect permits these cancel-culture warriors to create a situation of domestic terror as they loot stores, obliterate historical statues, burn our flag, destroy buildings and attack churches and synagogues.
Thankfully, the federal government takes a different view of those engaging in widespread looting, burglary, arson, destruction of property and other acts of violence. Both President Trump and Attorney General Barr are committed to prosecuting these violators. Several of the Department of Justice's U.S. Attorneys (including, for example, those in Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Minneapolis and Oakland) have arrested and indicted violent rioters. However, little publicity has been given to these initiatives.
Many of our politicians and mainstream-media sources excuse or coddle these law-breakers, emboldening them. Officials are submitting to a rule by mob rather than upholding the rule of law. They are either unaware of the radical elements embedded within these protests or simply don't care.
Since Black Lives Matter has been responsible for many of the protests, it is useful to note that one of its foundresses, Patrisse Cullors, proudly exclaimed in a 2015 interview that she and a co-founder "are trained organizers" and, more specifically, are "trained Marxists" with appropriate ideology. A second example of the BLM leadership's philosophy is that of Hawk Newsome, chairman of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York. He warned during a recent Fox News interview, "If this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it."
These attitudes reflect a previously discredited Marxist-Leninist ideology. We were warned, however — by someone in a position to know — how such thinking may ultimately infiltrate America. In a 1984 television interview, former KGB agent Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov (who had earlier defected to the West) explained the plan of committed Marxists-Leninists to gradually subvert America's political system.
Prior thereto, Nikita Khrushchev, first secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1953–1964) and, later, its premier (1958–1964), prophesied that communism would eventually take over America without firing a shot. How? By pitting us against one another — that is, blacks against whites, the rich against the poor, the North against the South and the religious against the non-religious.
Bezmenov's TV interview further explained Khrushchev's prophesy by setting forth four basic stages of ideological subversion and brainwashing that would take place.
The first stage, "demoralization," is a process of re-educating generations of students to change their ways of thinking. He believed this development would successfully occur in the United States when the student radicals of the 1960s and '70s came to power and assumed roles as educators and business leaders. According to Bezmenov, these individuals would throw out classical education and weaken belief in traditional Judeo-Christian moral values.
They would indoctrinate future students and our business culture with Marxist-Leninist values (such as destroying free speech and replacing it with politically correct speech codes). The truth of this prophecy is evidenced by simply witnessing (1) what passes for education today in our high schools and colleges, where virulent anti-Americanism is embedded in the educational system and thus becomes part of the student's values, and (2) the infusions of cash by major business entities to social movements such as BLM or Antifa.
Referring to such people and, in turn, to the new generations of students they would lead astray, Bezmenov said, "Exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him."
He continued: "They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behavior."
Stage two, "destabilization," is a process of weakening the essential structural elements of a nation by targeting changes in its economy, defense systems and international relations, such as the effort to overhaul 20% of the economy through Obamacare or providing billions of dollars to Iran.
The third stage utilizes "crisis" (whether it be a pandemic or the killing of an unarmed black man) to achieve the ends of the revolution. During this time, "a violent change of power, structure and economy" can take hold. It can also accelerate the process of redistributing wealth.
And finally, Bezmenov referred to stage four as "normalization" — what we may now call a "new normal." By this time, America has basically been taken over and lives under a new ideology and reality.
He warned us this is what will happen to America unless it guards against people who desire to bring on times of crisis: "If people will fail to grasp the impending danger of that development, nothing can help the United States. You may kiss goodbye to your freedom."
We should not be deceived by "good-hearted" progressive idealists who defend the lawbreakers by explaining that these emboldened anarchists only wish to destroy symbols of racism such as Confederate statues. Several representative objects targeted for destruction reveal both a contrary intent and actions inconsistent with this rationale. They are not limited to symbols of police brutality or antagonism toward African-Americans.
Statues of abolitionists such as Matthias Baldwin (an outspoken supporter of abolishing slavery in the United States and the inventor of the steam locomotive) and President Ulysses S. Grant (who led the Union army against the Confederate army) were vandalized. Also eyed for destruction are statues of Abraham Lincoln (whose "Emancipation Proclamation" freed the slaves) and George Washington (who led our country to independence). What do any of these statues have to do with erasing historical memories of those supporting the Confederate States of America? And how does such erasure help us understand our history?
Shaun King, a prominent black activist, publicly urged destroying religious icons and statues where Jesus appears "white." He suggested that such religious artworks were created as "tools of oppression" and as "racist propaganda," and that they "should all come down." However, the mobs protesting police brutality following the killing of George Floyd did not discriminate and, indeed, broadened King's advice into a general anti-religiosity.
Revolutionaries in San Francisco's Golden Gate State Park toppled a statue of St. JunÃpero Serra holding a life-sized cross. Saint JunÃpero was a Roman Catholic, Spanish priest and friar of the Franciscan Order during the 18th century. He led the Catholic Church's missionary efforts among Native Americans on the West Coast and founded several missions. Another Serra statue was toppled at Placita Olvera in downtown Los Angeles. Other statues of the saint are likewise being ravaged.
In the uptown Los Angeles neighborhood of Fairfax, synagogues, Jewish memorials and Jewish schools were vandalized with anti-Semitic, anti-Israel slogans. Jewish-owned businesses, including kosher stores, were also sacked and looted. Memorials pertaining to the genocide of Jews in World War II did not escape the mobs.
The statue of Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg in Los Angeles was smeared with anti-Semitic slogans. Wallenberg saved thousands of Hungarian Jews from the Nazis and had no relationship to America or to its history of slavery. A mob in Santa Rosa, California knocked to pieces a memorial fountain that was attached to a Holocaust memorial.
A historic landmark in front of the White House, St. John's Episcopal Church (known as the "church of presidents"), was vandalized on more than one occasion during weeks of unrest related to racism and police brutality. The first time, a boisterous mob deliberately set a fire in the church's basement. The second time, an unruly mass of folks attempted to set up an "autonomous zone" in front of it. The church was then defaced with graffiti.
Illustrative of the destruction of non-religious symbols and ensuing violence was the major riot that broke out in response to the arrest of a 28-year-old black man in Madison, Wisconsin. Devonere Johnson was filmed causing a disturbance in a restaurant there. He confessed to disturbing the peace as he was using a bullhorn inside the restaurant while carrying a bat with the words "black lives matter" painted on it. Video shows him resisting arrest and attempting to escape.
Nevertheless, the response of the crowd was to knock down statues of an abolitionist immigrant who died fighting for the Union as well another commemorating women's suffrage. Neither of these two memorials reflected racism. They also beat up a 60-year-old state senator (who happened to be a liberal and who, prior to the beating, was likely on their side). They also tried to break into the Capitol and tossed at least one Molotov cocktail onto the Capitol grounds.
The above examples only scratch the surface of the wanton devastation caused by these domestic terrorists. Their approach, premised in part on Marxist-Leninist values, radically differs from my generation's non-violent approach to highlighting racial injustices through peaceful, non-violent means. Our actions, predicated in large part on a commitment to religious moral values, succeeded in dramatically impacting societal values.
Today we are in a fight for the hearts and souls of our nation. Less than 30 years ago, the 102nd Congress passed a joint resolution recognizing "the historical tradition of ethical values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which our great nation was founded," that these ethical values and principles "have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven Noahide Laws," and that "without these ethical values and principles, the edifice of civilization stands in serious peril of returning to chaos."
The Seven Noahide Laws are predicated upon a belief that humanity was fashioned in the divine image. Leviticus 19:1 explains that because the human being is "created in the image of God," we should strive to "imitate God" through our daily actions.
Unfortunately, many of today's progressives, indoctrinated by Marxist-Leninist values, choose to ignore these religious commandments and instead focus on grievances and resentments that can return civilization to chaos. By so doing they are eroding our national confidence and self-respect while proving the validity of Bezmenov's thesis concerning the gradual subversion of America's political system.

THE CHURCH MILITANT PUBLISHES ABOUT ARTHUR GOLDBERG'S GAY CONVERSION CENTER AND NOAHIDE LAW BEING BINDING ON ALL MANKING
Within a year, Goldberg founded a new organization, the Jewish Institute for Global Awareness (JIFGA), whose mission was to promote the seven Noahide laws, also called Noachian Laws. The term refers to the Jewish Talmudic designation for seven biblical laws given to Adam and to Noah before the revelation to Moses on Mt. Sinai and consequently binding on all mankind.

CONSERVATIVE SITE FOUNDER PUNCHES BACK
Arthur Goldberg fights leftist group's bullying
HOLMDEL, N.J. (ChurchMilitant.com) – A Jewish conservative is fighting back after pro-LGBT activists succeeded in shutting down his crowdfunding site.
Using the judicial appeal process, Arthur Goldberg, founder of Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing (JONAH) and the Jewish Institute for Global Awareness (JIFGA), is fighting back against the state of New Jersey, leftist activist group the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and a $3 million fine.
Christopher Doyle
JONAH
JONAH, a now-defunct organization co-founded by Goldberg, served the Jewish community by pairing counselors with clients who wanted help with their unwanted same-sex attractions. Goldberg was not paid for his work and sought only to help find support in line with their religious beliefs.
In 2012, Goldberg became a target of the SPLC when the group recruited four gay activists to be clients seeking help for unwanted same-sex attractions.
Christopher Doyle, executive director of Institute for Healthy Families, in his book The War on Psychotherapy, wrote: "It's clear from the court affidavits that the lawsuit against JONAH was well-thought-out and coordinated in conspiracy fashion by certain gay activists. In fact, court documents indicated that the SPLC actually recruited these plaintiffs in order to take down JONAH."
Doyle told Church Militant the strategy of SPLC to destroy organizations is to "bring a legal cause and cut off their financial purse-strings." He further clarified, "By diminishing their financial influence they basically make them indigent."
The activists testified that Goldberg "guaranteed" their same-sex attraction would be eliminated — a claim Goldberg rejects as absolutely false. The state of New Jersey took that testimony and charged Goldberg and JONAH with fraud.
During trial, the court prohibited Goldberg from offering expert witness testimony. The court ultimately ruled against him, and Goldberg did not appeal the ruling, which included an injunction that permanently prohibited Goldberg from making any new referrals for reparative therapy. He liquidated the organization's assets in a manner approved by the court. SPLC succeeded in putting the organization out of business.
Goldberg Fights Back
Within a year, Goldberg founded a new organization, the Jewish Institute for Global Awareness (JIFGA), whose mission was to promote the seven Noahide laws, also called Noachian Laws. The term refers to the Jewish Talmudic designation for seven biblical laws given to Adam and to Noah before the revelation to Moses on Mt. Sinai and consequently binding on all mankind.
JIFGA also took on a project it called Funding Morality, an alternative crowdsourcing site to help fund projects and causes of interest to people of faith.
There was demand for an alternative because GoFundMe was beginning to more regularly jettison conservatives seeking donations. Robert Spencer's JihadWatch, whom SPLC had falsely accused of being an anti-Muslim hate group, was one of the organizations purged from GoFundMe.
Other projects included fundraisers for Mark Judge, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's high school friend, and Fr. Paul Kalchik, a priest in exile from the archdiocese of Chicago for burning a blasphemous banner that intertwined the Cross with a gay pride rainbow emblem.
SPLC Lawsuit
In 2019, SPLC and the state of New Jersey claimed Goldberg and his new organization, JIFGA and its crowdsourcing project Funding Morality, had violated the permanent injunction against referrals for reparative therapy by receiving post-injunction fees for alleged referrals. The trial court ruled against Goldberg, ordering him to pay the plaintiffs more than $3 million plus attorneys' fees.
Late last month, Goldberg filed an appeal, arguing that:
- the trial court misinterpreted the injunction's definition of "conversion" therapy
- made findings of fact not supported by any evidence, including the false claim that he made referrals
- relied on hearsay and other inadmissible evidence
- failed to conduct the evidentiary hearing required before resolving disputed questions of fact
- decided issues not raised by the parties and, most significantly,
- ignored the sworn certifications of key witnesses
Goldberg is also arguing that the trial court failed to recognize that the permanent injunction is limited to conduct in the state of New Jersey and that Goldberg 's timely response cured any violation of the injunction. Even if Goldberg had violated the injunction, the trial court erred in ordering him to pay millions of dollars — a sum that vastly exceeds the amount necessary to force Goldberg's compliance.
Goldberg, who is nearly 80, has never been paid for his involvement in any of the organizations he has founded. He has mortgaged the home he has lived in for 45 years in order to finance the appeal. Donations in support of his appeal can be made here.
