	Noahide Laws - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One tradition is that the Noahide Laws are seven laws from the covenant made between God and Noah after the cessation of the global flood which covered the whole world killing everyone except Noah and his family and the creatures of the ark.
		This, in addition to the teaching of the Jewish law that punishment for violating one of the seven Noahide Laws includes a theoretical death penalty (Talmud, tractate Sanhedrin 57a), is a factor in the opposition of the notion of a Noahide legal system.
		Jewish law, in contemporary practice, sees the death penalty as an indicator of the seriousness of an offense; violators are not actually put to death.

	The Law Is Only a Minimum
		In contrast to the wicked Christian doctrine that the Law is too difficult to follow and that everyone falls short of the Law, the Bible (Hebrew Scriptures) clearly teaches that G-d's Law is the absolute minimum that He expects everyone to follow.
		Noachides must turn Christians away from their idolatry and their disregard of G-d's Law, and must bring all gentiles to a full acceptance of G-d's Law, including the oral Torah and the complete authority of the orthodox rabbis.
		Noachides must also aggressively combat the schemes of Christian missionaries, who are stealing Jewish--and gentile--souls away from eternal life under G-d's Law to the evil of Christian idolatry.

	Comments concerning the Noachide Law, the Mosaic Law, Judaism and Christianity
		The emphasis of these laws is not to the laws themselves as an "end to the means", but as a "means to the end"; that end being faith, trust, and reliance, in the Lawgiver.
		Though the number of laws was later increased to 30 with the addition of prohibitions against castration, sorcery, and other practices, the "seven laws," with minor variations, retained their original status as authoritative commandments and as the source of other laws.
		The Noachide Law is part of the Mosaic Law, though it was, of course, given to all men earlier, while the Mosaic Law as a whole has as a primary object the preservation and propagation of Noachism among the Gentiles.

	Seven Colors of the Rainbow
		All seven of the Noachide Laws are derived from specific passages in the Torah, mostly in the Book of Genesis, which tells the stories of Adam and Noah and relates the commandments given to them.
		The Seven Laws are each signified by one of the seven emotional Sefirot, which derive their sustenance from the higher intellectual faculties.
		Therefore, when the laws are upheld, the Sefirot shine forth, as it were, in their true goodness and purity, radiating the light of God's all-embracing love into the lives of humanity and blessing every aspect of existence above and below.

	Jewish Law - Articles - The Obligation of Jews to Seek Observance of Noachide Laws by Gentiles: A Theoretical Review
		A Noachide, even though he violates the seven Noachide commandments, and his warning is his execution and he does not need formal witnesses and warning, nonetheless every moment prior to his conviction in beit din, he is not liable for the death penalty and it is prohibited to kill him.
		Noachides are not obligated to enforce Jewish law; Jews thus are not obligated to enforce Noachide law.
		In this case the mitzvah is dinim, the Noachide is the principal, and the Jew is the agent.

		Maimonides concludes his law, teaching that eternal life depends on the fulfillment of the Noachide laws, but only if fulfilled as “G-d’s commands.” Interesting though, Maimonides formulates his latter statement addressing one who acts from his own knowledge – not G-d’s command – but surprisingly, he omits the gentile’s loss of eternal life.
		In the beginning of his law, as you quoted, Maimonides states clearly that one who merits eternal life is one who follows the Noachide principles as “commands of G-d”.
		This teaches a new lesson: Noachide laws, by definition, must be understood to be a system separate from the Torah given at Sinai.

	Volume 3 Number 12
		However the reason this is not listed in the noachide laws is because the standard 7 noachide laws are punishable by human methods while disrespect for prophecy is punishable at the hands of heaven.
		I would suggest that the Rambam is introducing an 8th law of Noachides (Besides the standard 7)--the law or obligation to respect prophecy.
		And the reason why this is not enumerated in their 7 laws is because their other 7 laws Noachides are liable to HUMAN punishment for their violation while for not respecting prophecy they are only liable at the hands of heaven.

		Flusser further emphasizes that the Noachide precepts were only seen as a minimal condition for Gentiles to be recognized as God-Fearers; and that while the mother church decided to lay no burden upon the Gentile believers beyond the Noachide precepts, it did not object to their voluntarily observing more.
		These laws of Noah were basically the same as the spiritual principles listed in the New Testament for Gentile converts requiring them to love their neighbor, avoid sexual sins, pagan rites, idolatry, and to worship the one true God.
		The Law is not weak; the Law is not imperfect.

		Alternative depictions of the Seven Noahide Laws (as at www.noahide.com/7laws.htm) similarly lead to the conclusion that we are being supplied with no more than topic headings, and any elaborative statements that may be made under each topic heading are vague, and hint at more concrete original Talmudic writings which are not being disclosed.
		Anyone committing himself to follow such laws, then, is in effect putting his signature to a contract that he has not read; or, perhaps a more accurate analogy, putting his signature to the bottom of a blank sheet of paper, the top of which will be filled in by Hasidic rabbis at a later time.
		Although causing the gentiles to observe the Seven Noachide Laws is itself one of the 613 mitzvos of the Torah, the exile at times sank to such depths of harshness and oppression that Jews simply could not fulfill this mitzvah for fear of death.

		The Seven Universal Laws are general commandments, each containing many parts and details, whereas the 613 Commandments of the Torah are specific, each relating to one basic detail of the Divine Law.
		Besides the Seven Universal Laws, the Children of Noah have traditionally taken it upon themselves to fulfill the commandment of honoring mother and father, and the commandment of giving charity.
		If a Noahide who follows the Seven Universal Laws gives charity, the Israelites accept it from him, and give it to the poor of Israel since through the merit of giving charity to the poor among the Jewish people one is given life by G-d and saved from death.

		The Noachide Laws thus became part and parcel of the Revelation at Sinai.
		In the words of the Rambam, Anyone who accepts upon themselves the fulfilment of these Seven Laws and is precise in their observance is considered one of the Righteous of the Gentiles and will merit a share in the World to Come.

		The siginificance and belovedness of the Noachide Laws is alluded to by their number 7.
		The Seven Noachide Laws that were given to Moshe with the Ten Commandments, are enumerated separately from the 613 commandments, and are distinct from them in many fundamental ways and aspects.
		This means that the law "to compel all of the inhabitants of the World etc." is not connected (i.e is not restricted nor limited to being associated specifically) with the laws of a Ger Toshav.
