God's Noachide laws are called the Sheva Mitzvos Bnei Noach, which means, The Seven Laws Of Noah. This is really a misnomer. God's system is complex, and that number seven gives a very false impression. The seven are categories, and are very detailed.
Many times I have heard people say, the Jews have 613 laws, and the gentiles only seven. Both ideas are incorrect because all these laws are very detailed. There are also additional factors at play which move us beyond the 613 and the seven.
You may be surprised to learn that when looking at the breadth of the seven Noachide laws, one finds in the detail that they more or less overlap with almost 70 of the Jewish 613 laws.
Now I will give you a quick and basic look at the seven laws. To begin to learn with some more depth, click on any Noachide links we may have provided on the right.
The Sheva Mitzvos Bnei Noach
1. Idolatry
Any worship outside of the One True God is idolatry. It is a demonstration of one's desire NOT to observe his direct covenant with God. The practice of idolatry crimps or severs one's spiritual umbilical link with the life force which could carry him eternally into the next realm.
Most of the world is idolatrous, yet very few idolators see themselves this way. They think they are good people acting Godly. Perhaps they do have good hearts, but acting Godly they are NOT. Look deep into the mirror and try to see past whatever you have seen up until now.
I will be writing more specifically on the subject of idolatry later.
2. Blasphemy
Blasphemy is anything which lessens the exalted status of God. To speak disparagingly using a Name or representation of God would be an example, and is very serious. This is common practice in today's world. Anyone who watches television knows this.
