SALVATION OF THE RIGHTEOUS GENTILES "Path Of Avraham Site" Noach, Avraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job, and all the Levim who remained righteous throughout the bondage in Egypt have a place in the world to come. After all...they were all merely Noahides... everyone was, up until the revelation at Mount Sinai. Anyone who accepts the seven commandments (NOAHIDE LAWS), and is careful to do them, behold, this [person] is from among the pious of the nations of the world, and he has a portion in the World to Come (eternal life), and he is [a person] that will accept them (the seven commandments) and do them because the Holy [One], Blessed is He, commanded concerning them in the Instruction (lit. Torah), and He informed us by means of Mosha our teacher, that the offspring (lit. sons) of Noah were commanded concerning them (the seven commandments) from before hand. But if [a person] did them [only] because it is logically appealing, he is not a resident convert (lit. 'gehr toshav' - the legal term for one who officially keeps the Noahide laws), and he is not of the pious of the nations of the world, but rather [he is] of their wise men." - from the Mishneh Torah in Hilkhoth Melakhim u'Milhhamotheyham 8:14 [11]The followers of Torah have been instrumental in accurately preserving the Noahide Laws for the world. Any individual who accepts the Bible as the authoritive expression of the Creator's Will should take a serious look into what the Noahide Laws are, for this is demanded by the Creator's instruction as represented in Deuteronomy 17:11 "you shall do according to the oral dictation of the law [oral law] which they teach you, according to the judgment which they tell you; you shall not turn aside to the right or to the left from the verdict which they proclaim upon you." The Bibilical proof of Noahide Laws is found in the link (directly below). |
