Blueprint for a Better World: The Seven Laws of Noah

The Noahide Code of seven basic Divine laws was given by G-d to Noah and his children after the global Flood. This code assured Noah and his children, the forebears of the human race, that humanity would not degenerate into a jungle again. These laws, which command the establishment of courts of justice and prohibit idolatry, blasphemy, homicide, incest, robbery, and eating the limb of a live animal (cruelty to animals), are the foundation of all true morality. And they extend by laws derived from these into all aspects of moral behavior.These 7 commandments were also given as part of the Torah that Moses received from G-d at Mount Sinai. The Torah is the eternal source that obligates the continuing observance of the Noahide commandments by all Gentiles. When studied properly, these laws are found to encompass a wealth of ethics and spirituality, which gives meaningful purpose to the life of any person.
