Rabbi says goal of Christian founders was to institute the Noahide Laws


Jewish scholar Maimonides stated that Christianity is idolatry and in the Talmud Jesus is described as a blasphemer and a sorcerer (here). However in this article one Rabbi declares that the original founders of Christianity had the goal of having Christians follow the Noahide Laws. Is this an attempt to put Christians to sleep as to the true anti-Christian nature of the Noahide Laws?

One Rabbi Offers Christians the Chance to Understand the Bible from its Original Hebraic Origins


For instruction shall come forth from Tzion, The word of Hashem from Yerushalayim. Isaiah 2:3 (The Israel Bible™)
When you read the Book of Noah, you may have come across the verse in Genesis 6:14 where God commands Noah to make an ark of gopherwood and to ‘pitch’ it.
What you may not realize is that the Hebrew word used in this passage for the word ‘pitch’ (וְכָפַרְתָּ), is actually a word whose root word (כפר) is used in many instances throughout the Bible but in completely different contexts. And those who understand what the original Hebrew text says and more importantly, what the word means, will be privy to a completely different dimension of the Bible that most Christians don’t even know exists. This, as well as many other Biblical secrets, are unlocked in Rabbi Chaim Eisen’s exclusive Zion Bible Study program.
What is Zion Bible Studies?
Zion Bible Studies is a multi-day online total-immersion program enabling Christians worldwide to sign up and reconnect with Jewish Biblical teachings. As the program’s founder, Rabbi Chaim Eisen puts it, the Hebrew Bible and its unique teachings are valued “as essential wellsprings of Christianity.”
What the alumni says
“One of the things I learned in that interview is that he didn’t want to change anybody’s beliefs, he only wanted them to be able to satisfy the hunger for Torah” explained Bob O’dell, co-founder of Root Source, a Christian knowledge portal.
O’dell went on to say that the reason Rabbi Eisen doesn’t try to change people’s beliefs is that he “sees himself as helping to fulfill Isaiah 2:3, that Torah teaching to the nations would come out of Zion.”
Why Zion Bible Studies?
Because most people don’t realize that when Jews teach the Bible (in its original form) to Christians, it’s actually a form of returning Christianity to its roots. That’s because one of the goals of the original founders of Christianity was to “institute the Noahide covenant for non-Jews” Rabbi Eisen explains.
Another reason why it’s important for Christians to reconnect with the Bible’s Hebraic roots is that according to Rabbi Eisen, the Christian Bible features “translations out of context”. And those translations involve many layers of understanding that one who reads a Bible that is translated from Hebrew could “never know about.” That’s because as Rabbi Eisen puts it: “all translations are always commentary”. He compares it to looking through a screen without knowing if what the subject is looking at is a screen or a picture. But with Zion Bible Studies, they see the Scriptures for what they are. Additionally, students enjoy The Bible’s original Hebrew text standing in an equal and opposite column from its English translation. This format is used as a launching pad for a deeper understanding of the Bible’s true messages.
The founder
Rabbi Chaim Eisen is the founder and dean of Yeshivat Sharashim – Zion Bible Studies. He is also a senior rabbinical lecturer in adult education at the Orthodox Union Jerusalem World Center, where he has taught for 36 years. An acclaimed speaker, Rabbi Eisen has been stimulating audiences throughout Israel, North America, and Europe for three and a half decades. Over the past years, Rabbi Eisen has become increasingly involved in building bridges with Christian believers, through lectures and informal meetings in Israel, North America, and Europe, and via the Internet.
Rabbi Eisen has taught thousands of Jews and Christians worldwide. From Amsterdam to Dallas, participants throughout the globe seek his Biblical wisdom. He is known as one of the only Rabbis who can translate the Jewish Torah perspective into a message that Christians can easily understand.
The syllabus
The curriculum in Rabbi Eisen’s Zion Bible Study program is 100% text-based. This means that everything taught has a basis in the Scriptures. There’s no room for opinion or conjecture. If it’s not completely grounded and rooted in the text of the Bible, it won’t be included in the curriculum. Even Jewish commentaries in the Bible will come with an explanation regarding why the commentators say what they say in a step-by-step manner.
“The most surprising part of the program to me was his knowledge of the entire Tanach” O’dell said. And he wasn’t only referring to the Torah. O’dell lauded the way that Rabbi Eisen “helps you think through topics structurally, tying seemingly disparate concepts together into a systematic understanding of God’s purposes.”
One example he gave was when he and the rabbi “discussed the anointing of King David”. According to O’dell, “He made us go back and look at the history of anointing, the anointing of people, and then of kings. Many “surprises” came out of the Biblical text, which was his primary focus, the Midrash being used only in a supporting manner, based on the class preferences.  Anyway, from this exercise we began to see that anointing is a joint effort between God and man. This surprise was well beyond what anyone had ever considered before, and it was only one surprise of many during those days. The rabbi brought up points and questions that were adding perspective to people who were already extremely serious Bible students and had great knowledge of the Bible.”
And unlike some of the other more insulated Jewish thought leaders, Rabbi Eisen respects Christians as they are. He also believes that “Christians can and should remain faithful to Christianity even after studying the Bible from the classic Jewish perspective” explains Zion Bible Study CEO, Rabbi Michael Kaplan. “This is unlike other programs where the end goal is to ‘disprove’ Christianity or disassociate Christians from how they practice,” Kaplan added.
In the Bible, there are a lot of layers. “Rabbi Eisen is perfect for unraveling those layers” Kaplan added. “He has the Bible at his fingertips.”
Who is it for?
According to O’dell, the type of person that would “benefit the most from Zion Bible Studies is a person who has already been reading the Torah portions for a long enough time that they are past the basics, and want to look deeper in their studies.” O’dell added that another suitable candidate for the program would be a person who “ would benefit is a person who wants to study the entire Tanach from a Jewish perspective, not just the Torah, because the Rabbi has forty-years experience in the entire Tanach, and I’ve yet to ever touch on an area of the Tanach he is not already familiar with.”
Other initiatives
Aside from his online seminar, Rabbi Eisen also offers tours of the Old City while showing holy sites throughout Jerusalem. His iconic Bible Tours will take you through Jerusalem’s Old City allowing people to actually experience the Bible while connecting the ruins and archaeology in front of their eyes with what is written in the book.

Jews are "obligated" to promote the Noahide Laws among non-Jews

Rabbi Schneerson is the Rabbi who is lauded in Public Law 102-14 for his work in spreading the Noahide Laws world wide (here), he also stated that non-Jews have Satanic souls and only exist to serve Jews (here). Further, Schneerson made it clear that Jews (even outside of a Jewish court system) can use force (if not possible then through pleasantry) to compel non-Jews to accept the Noahide Laws (here). When discussing Noahide law, despite the Rabbi's obvious words, many Jews will claim that Jews have no obligation to promote the Noahide Laws among non-Jews. However, again the Rabbi disagrees. In the book "To Perfect the World: The Lubavitcher Rebbe's Call to Teach the Noahide Code to all Mankind" by Rabbi Yehoishophot Oliver, legal references provided by the Rabbi are lined up to prove that Jews are "obligated" to promote the Noahide Laws among non-Jews. How this "promotion" is done seems up for debate, as the Rabbi left "force" on the table. 

The following is from the first chapter of the book "To Perfect the World: The Lubavitcher Rebbe's Call to Teach the Noahide Code to all Mankind" by by Rabbi Yehoishophot Oliver

Chapter One:
Classic Teachings on the Obligation for Jews
 to Promote Belief in G-d and the Noahide Code

Rambam, Sefer HaMitzvos, Positive Mitzvah 3

... “And you shall love the L-rd your G-d”[1] ... They [our Sages] said that this Commandment also includes calling upon all people to serve G-d (exalted be He) and have faith in Him. For just as when you love someone, you will praise and extol him, and call upon others to love him, so by analogy, when you truly love G-d through grasping His truth, you will undoubtedly call [others] ... to the true knowledge which you have already grasped. As the Sifré says:[2] “‘And you shall love the L-rd’ – you should make Him beloved of mankind as Avraham your father did, as it says,[3] ‘And the souls that they made in Charan.’ ” That is to say, just as Avraham, for the sake of his love of the L-rd – as Scripture testifies, “Avraham who loved Me”[4] – summoned mankind to believe, by the power of his conception of G-d and the greatness of his love for Him, so too, you must love Him to the extent that you will call mankind to Him.

Rambam, Hilchos Melachim 8:10-11[5]

Moshe was commanded by the Almighty to compel all the inhabitants of the world to accept the commandments given to Noah’s descendants. ... Anyone who accepts upon himself the fulfillment of these seven commandments and is precise in their observance is considered one of “the pious among the Gentiles,” and will merit a share in the World to Come. This applies only when he accepts them and fulfills them because the Holy One, blessed be He, commanded them in the Torah and informed us through Moshe, our teacher, that Noah’s descendants had been commanded to fulfill them previously.

Tosefos Yom Tov on Pirkei Avos 3:14

[Rabbi Akiva used to say,] “Beloved is man, for he was created in the image [of G-d]. It is an even greater love [that it was made known to him that he was created in the image], as it is written: For in the image of G-d He made man”: Rabbi Akiva intended to straighten the ways of all Gentiles, as we [the Jewish people] were commanded by Moshe our teacher, according to the words of Rambam [loc. cit.]. And if we are commanded to compel them ... how much more so should this be done through verbal persuasion, to draw their hearts to [follow] the will of their Creator and the desire of their Rock.

Radak on Yeshayahu 42:6

“I [G-d] will set you [the Jews] for a covenant to the people, for a light to the nations”: For on account of the Jewish people, the Gentiles will observe the Seven Commandments and go on the good path.

Sforno on Shmos 19:6

“You will be for Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation”: Through this they will be My beloved people [in Hebrew, am segulah] and [recognized as] a kingdom of priests, by under-taking to teach all of mankind to call upon the Name of G-d and to serve Him with one purpose, as it is said,[6] “And you, priests of G-d, shall call out,” and as it is said,[7] “From Zion the Torah will go forth” [to the whole world].


Chasam Sofer on Choshen Mishpat #85

We are commanded to guide Gentiles [in the service of G-d].

Sefer Chassidim

No. 360: A Gentile who is enthusiastic in observing the Seven Noahide Commandments ... should be honored more than a Jew who doesn’t occupy himself with learning Torah.

No. 1124: If one sees a Gentile committing a sin and can object, then one should, for G-d sent Yonah to Nineveh to influence them to abandon their sins.

Baal HaTurim on Shmos 20:14[8]

The 620 [Hebrew] letters of the Ten Commandments correspond to the 613 Commandments for Jews and the Seven Noahide Commandments.

Footnotes:

[1] Devarim 6:5.

[2] Sifré, ibid.

[3] Bereishis 7:5.

[4] Yeshayahu 41:8.

[5] Translation from Mishneh Torah, Moznaim Publishing.

[6] Yeshayahu 61:6.

[7] Ibid. 2:3.

[8] See Likkutei Sichos, Vol. 26, p. 132. See also Hisvaaduyos 5749, Vol. 2, p. 156, fn. 94, that this underlines how the effect of Torah upon the Gentile nations is a fundamental part of the Torah.


Additionally 

"Any person who has already worked successfully in this area should try to influence other Jews to do likewise. Resistance should not deter one when attempting to influence a further individual to accept upon himself the task of disseminating the Noahide Laws amongst the nations." (Hisvaduyos 5750 2:18-19)

Jewish paper claims Trump's anti animal cruelty bill is based in the Noahide Laws



The 6th Noahide Law abolished the cutting off the limb of a living animal. Because lab cloned meat involves removing the cell of a live animal, this would ban cloned meat for general consumption (here). Now a Jewish news paper has claimed that Trump's latest anti-animal cruelty law has its basis in the Noahide Laws. Sentiments against animal cruelty are not owned by any one group, all people of all faiths can want to show compassion for animals, it does not take tyrannical Jewish Talmudic Noahide Law. Noahides and Jews have no right to lay claim to being kind to animals, they are simply posing themselves as morally superior and taking credit for values that are common to all humanity. 









Trump’s Animal Cruelty Law has ‘Noahide’ Roots from Bible


“ A righteous man knows the needs of his beast, But the compassion of the wicked is cruelty.” Proverbs 12:10 (The Israel Bible™)
On Monday afternoon, President Trump signed the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act making certain acts a felony. The bill was approved in the House in October and passed in the Senate by a unanimous decision earlier this month.
The new law was based on the 2010 Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act, which made the creation and distribution of “animal crushing” videos illegal but didn’t ban the actual acts of cruelty.
The new Act defines the term “animal crushing” as when “one or more living non-human mammals, birds, reptiles, or amphibians is purposely crushed, burned, drowned, suffocated, impaled, or otherwise subjected to serious bodily injury.” There will be several exceptions including normal veterinary/agricultural practices, slaughtering for food, animal sports activities, protection of human life, or medical/scientific research. Penalties for violations will be fines and/or imprisonment, not to exclude 7 years. 
“This common-sense legislation restricts the creation and distribution of videos or images of animal torture,” Trump said Monday at the bill signing. “It is important that we combat these heinous and sadistic acts of cruelty, which are totally unacceptable in a civilized society.”
Trump noted that animals play  a major role “in the development, settlement, security and happiness of our country.”
He referred to Conan, a military dog injured during the mission that killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Conan was honored in a White House ceremony on Monday.
“Conan was something and created quite a stir,” Trump said.
Though every state has laws against animal cruelty, the new federal act was necessary to allow prosecution in cases that crossed several jurisdictions.
Hunting for sustenance, euthanasia, scientific research, and necessary action to protect human life or property figure are specifically permitted in the new legislation.
The new legislation has its roots in the Bible. The seventh Noahide Law incumbent upon all mankind prohibits tearing a limb off a live animal. This is explicitly described in Genesis.
Every creature that lives shall be yours to eat; as with the green grasses, I give you all these. You must not, however, eat flesh with its life-blood in it. But for your own life-blood I will require a reckoning: I will require it of every beast; of man, too, will I require a reckoning for human life, of every man for that of his fellow man! Genesis 9:3-5
This Biblical connection between cruelty to animals and human life was understood by proponents of the new law. Law enforcement agencies including the National Sheriffs’ Association and Fraternal Order of Police endorsed the bill, citing a well-documented connection between animal cruelty and violence against people.
In addition to the commandment in Genesis, the Bible admonishes against animal cruelty in many places.
A righteous man knows the needs of his beast, But the compassion of the wicked is cruelty. Proverbs 12:10
The philosophy behind this Biblical prohibition against cruelty to animals is described in depth in Ecclesiastes.
For in respect of the fate of man and the fate of beast, they have one and the same fate: as the one dies so dies the other, and both have the same lifebreath; man has no superiority over beast, since both amount to nothing. Both go to the same place; both came from dust and both return to dust. Who knows if a man’s life-breath does rise upward and if a beast’s breath does sink down into the earth? Ecclesiastes 3:19-21
President Trump’s administration has also made significant moves against abortion which is explicitly prohibited in the first Noahide law against murder.
Whoever sheds the blood of man, By man shall his blood be shed; For in His image Did Hashem make man. Genesis 9:6

Public Law 103-14 states the Noahide Laws are the "cornerstone of society"



SIGN THE PETITION 

PLEASE NOTE: - after consulting with lawyers it needs to be noted that these laws are not unconstitutional as they do not make the Noahide Laws the laws of America, however, laws written in ways such as this can be repealed for being "offensive" or inaccurate, which these are both. It is the principle of the matter, our congress and president should not be condoning these ideas in any official capacity.


Besides Public Law 102-14 there is another law which needs to be repealed and that is Public Law 103-14 which states that the Noahide Laws are the "cornerstone of society since the dawn of civilization" which was signed by President Clinton in 1993. Notice the law is written in a very clever way, it says that "ethical teachings" have played a role in the founding of America and that President Clinton will use these ethics to inform "all" of his administrations decisions, and then the law defines these "ethics" as the Noahide Laws... like Public Law 102-14 this law implies that Noahide Law is the basis of American civilization. Also like Public Law 102-14, 103-14 also honors Rabbi Schneerson who said non-Jews have satanic souls and only exist to serve Jews (here) The Noahide Laws are not the cornerstone of any civilization but a retrograde set of laws which would set up a Zionist tyranny over every civilization. Like Public Law 102-14 this resolution must also be repealed. Is this a sleeper law designed to be a back up in case Public Law 102-14 was ever repealed?

AT THE FIRST SESSION  
Begun and held at the City of Washington on Tuesday, the fifth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-three Joint Resolution Designating April 2, 1993, as ‘‘Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A.’’. 
Whereas the Congress recognizes that ethical teachings and values have played a prominent role in the foundation of civilization and in the history of our great Nation;

Whereas the 2,000 educational, social, and rehabilitative institutions administered by Lubavitch advance these ideals for the millions of people whom they serve each year; 
Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson has interpreted, in the miraculous events of our times, the increasing vitality of these ideals for the furtherance of human understanding and betterment; 
Whereas the extraordinary life and work of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson have long been acknowledged by the Congress through the enactment of Joint Resolutions designating his birthday in each of the last 15 years as ‘‘Education Day, U.S.A.’’; 
Whereas the Lubavicher Rebbe’s 91st birthday falls on April 2, 1993; 
Whereas in tribute to this esteemed spiritual leader, the Lubavicher Rebbe’s birthday will be designated as ‘‘Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A.’’; and 
Whereas such designation will signal a renewal of our Nation’s commitment to greater acts of charity, to an enriched emphasis on education, and to the furtherance of ethical teachings and values in the affairs of government and in the lives of our citizens: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That April 2, 1993, the birthday, and the culmination of the celebration of the 90th birthday year, of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the worldwide Lubavitch movement, is designated as ‘‘Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A.’’. The President is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
