Jew admits that under Noahide Law non-Jews are easier to try and convict than Jews: Book Review, Rainbow Covenant

  SEE TABLE OF CONTENTS (HERE)


Maybe now where else is it more obvious that Jews are given superior status over non-Jews under Noahide Laws than when it comes to trial, testimony, and conviction. Unlike a Jew, a non-Jew can be convicted on circumstantial evidence, they can be testified against by a single witness (Jews need 2-3 witnesses), they can also be testified against by relatives who could be unreliable witnesses. Michael Dallen who wrote the Rainbow Covenant even says that these lax rules for trial and conviction will lead Noahide courts to try and execute innocent people. 

Where Israel's Torah courts must follow certain extremely stringent rules of criminal procedure,^ Noahide courts have more freedom. In contrast to the Torah courts, a Noahide court may convict a criminal defendant based solely upon circumstantial evidence, or the accused's own self-incriminating statements, or testimony from his near relatives — even though these relatives may not be the most reliable of witnesses. A Noahide court may also convict upon the testimony of only a single witness. So it's possible — indeed, probable, given time — that the court will mistakenly convict and execute an innocent person. (Dallen, 2003, pp. 199)

Under Noahide, non-Jews can be killed for causing a woman to lose her fetus, but never a Jew: Book Review, Rainbow Covenant

While either a Jew or a non-Jew can be punished for deliberately injuring a woman to the point that she loses her unborn child, a non-Jew can recieve the capital punishment for this while a Jew cannot. 

"Where the Noahide law and Israel's law in the matter seem to diverge most strongly is in an area, oddly, of clear Scriptural instruction. God declares to Israel, for Israel, in the Written Torah, that the murder of a living human constitutes a capital crime, but that feticide does not.

If a Gentile deliberately injures a pregnant woman, intentionally causing the fetus within her to die, is he guilty of murder? The Torah provides that a Jew guilty of the same act cannot be held liable by any Torah court for murder, but only for assaulting the woman. This is true even though he has killed the mother's unborn child by causing her to miscarry.


Possibly, as most Torah authorities believe, the Jew in this case will later inevitably be punished by "death at the hands of Heaven." But no Torah court could find him guilty of the unborn child's murder.

By God's will, a Torah court has only one — a capital — penalty for murder. Before it can impose that sentence the court must find, among other things, that the killer's victim was a genuine living person. A fetus is only potentially a living person. Noahide courts, on the other hand, have not just the right but the obligation to treat any such deliberate feticide as a criminal act — as an abomination that they have an obligation to forbid.

Everyone who studies the Noahide law must eventually agree on that point. But this doesn't mean that Noahides must treat every wrongful feticide as murder — that is, as the most despicable and destructive of all felonies. Neither does it suggest that Jews possess any right that Gentiles lack, either to perform abortions or to have them performed.

Noahides must determine the details of their own laws for themselves, including enforcement schemes, and schedules of penalties. Without punishing feticide as murder, they have the power to delegirimize it. So do the Jews. Feticide is a form of homicide that cheapens human life; it isn't ll that distantly related to plain murder. The absence, in Scripture, of a specific legal penalty for feticide doesn't mean that Israel must tolerate wholesale fetus-slaughter in its midst. It just means that Jews, like Noahides, have the freedom to legislate their own enforcement schemes against it. It also means that Israel's Torah courts, unlike Noahide courts, lack even the hypothetical power to impose any capital penalty for feticide." (Dallen, 2003, pp. 196-197)

Noahide Law allows abortion up to the first 40 days: Book Review, The Rainbow Covenant

While the Noahide movement tries to use the abortion issue to league with Christians and Muslims, they forget to tell their friends that under Noahide Law, abortion is legal up until the first 40 days of pregnancy 

 This is a far more difficult and complicated subject than most commentaries suggest. Abortion, or feticide, is commonly regarded as "shedding the blood of man in man," and tantamount to "shedding the blood of man by man." So it violates the Rainbow Covenant law against murder. However, up to forty (40) days — not quite six weeks — after conception a human fetus is considered to be "mere water," "mere tissue," or really little more than a hairy egg. It may be destroyed without the imposition of any legal penalty. (Dallen, 2003, p. 194)

Euthanasia and assisted suicide illegal under Noahide:Book Review, The Rainbow Covenant

 TABLE OF CONTENTS

The featured image to this post comes from The Rainbow Covenant by Michael Dallen. As usual, Dallen dehumanizes anyone who disagrees with him, like pagans and Christians. Here the doctor is unplugging a patient from life support, and of course he is supposed to look like a fiendish quack. Assisted suicide is illegal under Noahide, that is the point he is trying to make.

 

"Mercy-Killing," Euthanasia,
and Physician-Assisted Suicide

All the above are just pretty names for murder. It isn't for human beings to assess the comparative current value of any human life. Even the life of a suffering person has infinite value to God. Human beings are not like the lesser animals, to be "put down" wheneverlife becomes unhappy or inconvenient.

A dying person is considered, for all intents and purposes, to be alive. Therefore, no positive, material action may be taken to hasten his death. One may pray for his speedy end. One may
remove an impediment to death, such as an annoying noise, or other irritant, which might be artificially prolonging his demise. But one may not touch him, directly or indirectly, as by removing
or rearranging a pillow or bedclothes, solely in order to hasten death.

Every human life, including the life of one who is terminally ill, is sacred. God created man not just for pursuit of animal pleasure and avoidance of animal discomfort, but to serve Him. We serve Him by living life to the very last moment until He takes it. Our lives are not whole otherwise; no one has a right to diminish a human life by encroaching on His Divine prerogatives.

Human beings may take animal life, in the exercise of human dominion, but our dominion doesn't extend to our fellow men — only God may take a human life. And our deaths, Israel is told, have unfathomable value. To die in His time and at His command brings man blessing — i.e., atonement. Yet one need not be conscious in order to die, and our Maker certainly doesn't prevent us from administering drugs, or other appropriate therapies, to relieve pain and suffering.

We don't serve Him with our pain but with our lives. Nothing may be done to shorten them. (Dallen, 2003, pp. 191-192)

Surgical sterilization is illegal under Noahide and female contraception is preferred over male contraception: Book Review, the Rainbow Covenant

TABLE OF CONTENTS  

Under Noahide Law, sterilization surgeries are forbidden, and female birth control is preferred over condoms or spermicide as it is preferred the male ejaculate inside the woman without interruption and that she and her body neutralize the sperm. 

Surgical intervention, such as tuballigation, in the case of a woman, or castration or even vasectomy in the case of a man, is never permitted as a contraceptive technique. It constitutes bodily mutilation — the mutilation, in other words, or maiming of God's property — merely to keep the body from fulfilling its God-given purpose.

As the Bible's story of Er and Onan suggests, our Creator condemns the practice of coitus interruptus — of the man's withdrawal just before fully consummating the sex act. Neither that nor anything that might amount to casting semen in vain — that is, deliberately wasting it, as though man's reproductive seed were a useless poison — can be countenanced as a legitimate contraceptive method. The sex act is not complete unless the man's seed enters the woman's body. So a (Jewish) man may not wear a condom as a contraceptive device. In fact, he may never personally employ any nullifying or blocking technique against his own seed.

Feminine contraceptive implants or oral contraceptives, such as the birth control pill, are preferred over chemical spermicides, which are preferred over physical barriers, such as an absorbent internal pad or diaphragm or an internal female condom. While the male's seed must enter the female, she may, if she has to, use such methods to neutralize or block it once he has made his way inside her. (Dallen, 2003, pp. 174)
