Defending oneself against a rabbi

As you can probably guess by the title of this article, as with the subject matter of other of my articles, I’m not aiming to score points with anyone. This blog has been about my own path, no one else’s. So … errr … here goes? During my walk along this path of life, in […]

Was it inevitable?

Was it inevitable that I should become so against modern governments, or many governments throughout time, when two or three elements come together? One, I am devoted to God and his truth. Two, God obligates man, His creation, to keep his commandments, which includes a prohibition against injustice, the perversion of justice. This justice includes […]

There is no such thing as “freedom of speech”

Did I give it all away in the title? Is there even any point in me continuing to write any more than that? Well, truth be told, the title is only half of the truth. Why? Because there is such thing as freedom of speech. I know you’re not confused. But let’s pretend that someone […]

Two different roads – the Gentile and the Jew

Reading through Aaron Lichtenstein’s book, “The Seven Laws of Noah”, was enlightening for me. It was a very useful read. There is no perfect book, so it wasn’t without its controversial points but I believe it taught me some significant things. One thing it showed me was that Gentiles are supposed to keep the Seven […]

At odds with so much: a response

I stated before that the Seven Commandments were at odds with the legal and political systems of today. A dissenting voice inside me said, “No, David. The commandments are not at odds with the legal or political system I live under. That legal and political system doesn’t command me to do the acts that the […]

Another Jew seeing inadequacy

Some time ago I wrote an article about arguments used to discourage a non-Jew from staying a non-Jew (https://hesedyahu.wordpress.com/2013/12/24/its-silly-to-be-a-noahide-because-the-weak-excuses/) . The people who used these arguments where attempting to persuade a Gentile to become a Jew due to the inadequacy they perceived in remaining a Gentile. Such arguments frequently focused on the nature of the […]

Discussion on the Commandment of Justice

Looking around, I found some very useful information about the commandment of Dinim. I’m gonna share it here for easy access to anyone looking. The information comes from the site http://www.dafyomi.co.il/, from a section called “Insights to the Daf” which discusses passages in the Talmud. The full address of the page that I’m taking the […]

Reinventing the Noahide Movement

Written by Alan Cecil, edited by the author of Seven Law Blog UK. The modern “Noahide movement” has been around for around thirty years now. Although it has spread around the world, its numbers are still surprisingly small and the movement itself is disorganized. If the “Noahide movement” is to grow and survive – let […]

They think I’ve forgotten

To them, I don’t pray as much as I used to. To them, I don’t sing religious songs as often as I used to. They don’t see my head in the Bible as much and don’t see me immersed in the Hebrew of Genesis as I used to be. They remember the days of my […]

Craving Religion – Missing out on Obedience

I was just passing by. The conversation was thick with opinion. And then I spotted a Gentile opinion that touched my heart and filled me with sadness at the possible monster we had created and its victims. A Gentile voice said that we non-Jews are not allowed to study Torah, pray Jewish prayers or celebrate […]
