What is a Noahide?

This is a site for Noahides.  Although it is out of San Antonio, Texas, it is for anyone from anywhere.  Let me start off by telling you a little bit about the term NOAHIDE.  That's a strange sounding word, isn't it.  But it is connected to the man we have all heard about, Noah, as in "and the Ark".  A Noahide is someone who descends from Noah.  We pretty much all descended from Noah. Even Abraham.  But because of Abraham's incredible righteousness, God took special consideration of him and made a nation out of his descendants...the Jews.  So to make a long story short, everyone who is not a Jew is a Noahide.  God gave Noah seven laws for the world to follow.  He would later give the Jewish people 613.  Most people who have no association with a Judaism is not aware of this but, yes, the 613 are all in the Bible.  The 7 commandments for the rest of the world...the Noahide Laws, are...

 1.  No Idolatry 

 2. No Blasphemy  

3. No Murder  

4. No Stealing  

5. No Adultery/Sexual Perversions   

6. No eating the meat taken from a living animal  

7. Set up Courts of Justice. 

 These are a lot easier than those 613 that the Jews have to follow.  So why do they have so many more?  I am glad you asked.  If you have read the Bible I am sure you saw in there that the Jews were to be a "priest" to the nations.  God told them that because He is holy, He expects them to be holy.  He set them aside as His Holy Nation.  To set them apart, He gave them a lot of rules to follow that became their life style and something that has set them apart from the rest of the world for the last three thousand years.  Those rules are supposed to set them apart because they are there to help the rest of the world...the Noahides.

In this site I will address many different issues concerning Noahides and a few about Jews. Your questions and comments are welcome.  I sincerely hope you will learn and advance in your relationship with HaShem.  HaShem is the term we will be using for God from now on.  It is Hebrew for "The Name".
