After The Flood

Ever wonder what happened when Noah and his family exited the Ark after the Flood?

"To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world".
"The only thing necessary for evil to exist is for good people to do nothing."

Wisdom From Pirke Avot

Simon the Just…used to say,
“Upon three things the world stands:
On Torah, on (Divine) Service, and on Deeds of Lovingkindness.”
Pirke Avot 1:2

Ben Zoma said,
“Who is wise? The one who learns from all people…
“Who is mighty?  The one who subdues the evil inclination…
“Who is rich? The one who rejoices in his portion….
“Who is honored? The one who honors other human beings….”
Pirke Avot 4:1

The Most Important Part of Studying Torah

The most important element in validating interpretations of the written and oral Torah is the concept of Mesorah. Mesorah is the greatest proof to the authenticity of any concept, practice, or interpretation.

Although the seven Noahide laws have their origins in Adam and Noah, God chose to transmit and preserve them via Moses and the giving of the Torah at Sinai. This placed the Seven Mitzvos within the structure and system of Torah study and learning. Therefore, the seven Noahide laws must be interpreted and understood within the context of the Torah.

This point cannot be stressed enough: Jewish, and therefore Noahide, study and interpretation of the Torah is unique and unlike the study of any other religious texts.

Proverbs 12:19...

Truthful lips will be established forever, But a lying tongue is only for a moment

Are Noahides Allowed to Pray?

For Noahides, prayer is considered a mitzvah when performed in response to personal needs or circumstances. If one experiences challenges for which he does not pray, his lack of response is tantamount to a denial of God as the sovereign ruler of all things and all events. When one does pray in such circumstances, it demonstrates reliance and belief in the Creator.

When a Noahide prays to give thanks or praise absent a personal need, he still receives reward for such prayer even though it is not of the same nature as prayer prompted by personal needs.

As with all personal prayers, there are no fixed texts for Noahide prayer. Since all Noahide prayer is essentially personal prayer, it is ideally expressed using sincere words from the heart.

Tools For Noahide Torah Study

The journey of Noahide Torah study is endless in depth and has no destination.  You will realize this when your very essence proclaims, "the more I learn, the less I know"!  Before you make this proclamation remember that it is a mitzvot for a Noahide to study the Noahide Laws and apply them in every aspect of their life.  After you make that proclamation you will realize and appreciate why it is a mitzvot for a Noahide to study the Noahide Laws and apply them. The study of Torah is what gives us our awe of the Creator.  The more we study the more awe we gain.

WHAT IS A RELIGIOUS CULT?

Cult Gathering 

 

Cults are everywhere. Some are mainstream and widely accepted. Others are isolationist and hide from examination at great expense. They are growing and flourishing. Some cause great suffering while others appear very helpful and beneficial. Whichever group it is, the ultimate end is their destruction when the Lord returns to claim His own.

What is a religious cult?

        Generally, it is a group that is unorthodox, esoteric, and has a devotion to a person, object, or a set of new ideas.
            New Teaching - has a new theology and doctrine.
            Only True Teaching - often considers traditional religious systems to be apostate and it alone possesses the complete truth.
            Strong Leadership - often an individual or small but powerful leadership group holds control of the group’s teachings and practices.
            Asset Acquirement - often requires tithing and/or property transfer to the religious system.
            Isolationist - to facilitate control over the members physically, intellectually, financially, and emotionally.
           Controlling - exercises control over the members. Sometimes this is through fear, threatening loss of salvation if you leave the group. Sometimes through  indoctrination.
            Indoctrination - possesses methods to reinforce the cult’s beliefs and standards where opposing views are ridiculed and often misrepresented.
            Apocalyptic - to give the members a future focus and philosophical purpose in avoiding the apocalypse or being delivered through it.
           Experience - various practices including meditation, repetition of words and/or phrases, and "spiritual" enlightenment with God are used as confirmation of their truth.
            Depravation - sleep and food deprivation which weakens the will of the subject.  This is uncommon though practiced by more severe cults.
            Persecution - predictions of being persecuted, often combined with claiming any opposing views demonstrated against them as a form of persecution.
       
         Many have non-verifiable belief systems.
            For example, they would teach something that cannot be verified.
                A space ship behind Hale-Bop comet.
                Or, that God, an alien, or angel appeared to the leader and gave him a revelation.
                The members are seeded angels from another world, etc.
            Often, the philosophy makes sense only if you adopt the full set of values and definitions that it teaches.
                With this kind of belief, truth becomes unverifiable, internalized, and easily manipulated through the philosophical systems of its inventor.


        The Leader of a Cult
            Often charismatic and is considered very special for varying reasons:
                The cult leader has received special revelation from God.
                The cult leader claims to be the incarnation of a deity, angel, or special messenger.
                The cult leader claims to be appointed by God for a mission.
                The cult leader claims to have special abilities.
            The leader is often above reproach and is not to be denied or contradicted.
       
Cult ethos
               Usually seeks to do good works, otherwise, no one would join them.
               They are usually moral and possess a good standard of ethical teaching.
               Many times the Bible is used or additional "scriptures" are penned.
               The Bible, when used, is always distorted with private interpretations.
            Leaders tend to mistranslate, misrepresent and/or have no sources for the their belief.  This is particularly true when using a source from a different language.
              Often times the leadership will attempt to disqualify other more qualified scholars with statements of they misunderstand the meaning; they don't know how to learn the subject matter, their sources are wrong, etc.  Even when these more qualified scholars are in agreement with the majority of scholars in the world.
               Leaders will have you believe they are one of the only if not the only person who understands this material making the follower dependent on them alone to learn from.
           
Cult groups vary greatly.
               From the ascetic to the promiscuous.
               From esoteric knowledge to very simple teachings.
               From the rich and powerful to the poor and weak.
