Mulling over LEE LOFASO to STEVE ASHER 08 Nov 2004

G'day Lee...

SA>There is a program under way to transform the USA (and other
SA>Western nations into a society based upon the seven "Noachide Laws", 
SA>which among other thing will result in the abolition of Christmas, 
SA>and the elimination (execution) of Christians.

 LL> Oh, great.  Another Jewish conspiracy theory.  Or is it fact?  :) 

Unfortunately, it is fact. :(

SA>There is not a minute to waste. Jews everywhere, unite!

 LL> Just what Hitler feared...

Actually, Hitler was an accomplice, for a time, much as the Antichrist
will be accepted by both Jews and Noachides as Messiah, but will turn
on them, & seek to destroy them.

However, the Jews & Noachides have set the stage for the rejection of
the divinity of Jesus Christ, and prayers to Him as idolatry, as per
the "Jewish Message To Mankind" below. The US Congress has gone along
for the ride, by enacting laws that seek to "return the world to the
moral and ethical values contained in the Seven Noachide Laws".

---------------------------------------------------------------------

A JEWISH MESSAGE FOR MANKIND

Many non-Jews, especially those who come to Israel and Jerusalem, are
interested in what, if anything, Judaism has to say to them, and how
Jews regard them. Jewish tradition has a clear response.

(snip)

But Universal man is not forgotten by God-- his redemption is the
raison d'etre of the Jewish people. Our tradition, based on God's
addresses to Adam, Noah and Company, subsumes the rules of living for
every man under the rubric of the 7 laws of Noah. Any gentile who
accepts and fulfills them is righteous and has a share in the world to
come. No formal religious ritual or liturgy is required, tho shared
traditions and texts and meeting together for prayer and study may be
necessary to build a viable Noachide society. In March 1991 the U.S.
Congress passed and Pres. Bush signed into law a resolution praising
Noachism as the oldest human religion.

Due to persecution of the Jews, little was done to teach these laws
for the last few thousand years, despite Maimonides' command to do so
(Laws of Kings). Interest in them has revived over the last few years
and Noahide groups and literature are slowly but surely springing up
amidst Western civilization. Some Noahides cut all ties with their
past, viewing Jesus and Christianity as irrelevant, possibly harmful,
to their lives and faith. Others retain ties to Jesus as a teacher,
possibly messianic, but reject Christianity and its pagan holidays,
e.g. Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. All reject any Divinity of
Jesus and view prayers to him as idolatry.

(snip)

A simple statement of the 7 laws: 1) not to murder. 2) not to worship
idols. 3) not to steal. 4) not to take another's wife or commit
incest. 5) not to eat meat of an animal still alive. 6) not to
blaspheme. 7) to establish well-functioning legal and political
systems. Basically, every person should acknowledge God's Revelation
to Israel, Israel's unique role, and his or her duty to be a decent
human being (plus one "kosher" law above, #5). No one is encouraged to
become Jewish, though some sources feel that study and observance of
the Torah is good for everyone.

To designate March 26, 1991, as `Education Day, U.S.A.'. (Enrolled as
Agreed to or Passed by Both House and Senate)

--H.J.Res.104--

H.J.Res.104

One Hundred Second Congress of the United States of America

AT THE FIRST SESSION

Begun and held at the City of Washington on Thursday, the third day of
January,

one thousand nine hundred and ninety-one

Joint Resolution

To designate March 26, 1991, as `Education Day, U.S.A.'.

Whereas Congress recognizes the historical tradition of ethical values
and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which
our great Nation was founded;

Whereas these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock of
society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the
Seven Noahide Laws;

Whereas without these ethical values and principles the edifice of
civilization stands in serious peril of returning to chaos;

Whereas society is profoundly concerned with the recent weakening of
these principles that has resulted in crises that beleaguer and
threaten the fabric of civilized society;

Whereas the justified preoccupation with these crises must not let the
citizens of this Nation lose sight of their responsibility to transmit
these historical ethical values from our distinguished past to the
generations of the future;

Whereas the Lubavitch movement has fostered and promoted these ethical
values and principles throughout the world;

Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the Lubavitch
movement, is universally respected and revered and his eighty-ninth
birthday falls on March 26, 1991;

Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, `the rebbe', this,
his ninetieth year will be seen as one of `education and giving', the
year in which we turn to education and charity to return the world to
the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven Noahide Laws; and

Whereas this will be reflected in an international scroll of honor
signed by the President of the United States and other heads of state:
Now, therefore, be it

      Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled, That March 26, 1991,
the start of the ninetieth year of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, leader
of the worldwide Lubavitch movement, is designated as `Education 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.

Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Vice President of the United States and

President of the Senate.
