NOAHIC RULES OF FELLOWSHIP
The Perpetual Conditions of Noah's Covenant
Most people have heard of the story of Noah and the Flood. For, many
cute pictures of cuddly animals are shown in most Bible Classes for
children. And, it is just one of those stories that even secular
people like to tell.
Now, while many know of the Story of the Flood, not many out there
know of God's Promise--that HE would never again destroy the world
by Flood. (It HIS solemn covenant!) And, as you may recall, the
rainbow is suppose to be HIS symbol to remind HIM of that Pledge.
Yes, there are a few out there who know that story!
But, what nearly everyone forgets is that a Covenant is basically
a contract--with terms, conditions, and qualifications that must be
met. So, if the rainbow is a symbol of God's Promise, then what are
the terms and conditions of this Noahic Covenant? OOoops! Does
anyone out there know what they are?
HEBREW STANDARDS
Well, if you are a member of the Hebrew Community, then perhaps you
know. For, in order to be accepted into the Hebrew Community, you
MUST meet the minimum standards of morality. And, this standard is
known as the Noahic Rules of Fellowship. It is a common Membership
Standard, throughout Greater Israel.
Moreover, ever since the Days of Noah, the Hebrew Peoples (those
who worshipped the One True God) have passed these Rules down by word
of mouth. They have just become part of the Traditions and Customs
of those who are Descendants of Abraham, whether they be Jews,
Christians, or Muslims. We all subscribe to this same code of ethics.
(Though, perhaps some, are not aware of it consciously, as it is a
Cultural thing.)
SUMMARY OF THE RULES
In the beginning, it appears that there were only 4 simple rules to
this Code. But, as time passed, the Rabbis expanded upon it, and
a few more rules were added. But, at the Time of the Reformation
by Y'Shua (Jesus), these Rules were trimmed back to the orginal 4.
And, the Great Council of Jerusalem upheld them as being the minimum
standards of fellowship--for both Jew and Gentile (Acts 15:19-21).
These 4 Rules were:
- No Idolatry!
- No Perversions!
- No strangled meats!
- No eating of blood!
Those should be fairly clear. But, in case you have any questions,
let us take a closer look at each Rule.
1. NO IDOLATRY!
If you have reviewed the Varangian Pledge, then you should realize
that this refers to Pagans, those who are committed to worshipping
other gods (rather than the One True God). Pagans are banned from
Fellowship with God's People! (Though, because of daily life, you
may still have to face them, and deal with them.)
Most specifically, it also means those who use idols or images in
their worship, to depict other spirits or supernatural beings (other
than the One True God). Idols and Idolatry are specifically banned
from god's People! It is a VERY GROSS SIN! (Deuteronomy 4:15-28,
7:25-26, 13:6-17; I Corinthians 10:14; I John 5:21)
Associated with this are Serious Magyck Users, Dark Arts Dabblers,
and Occult Science Practioners. For, the uses of this kind of magic
or divination is specifically forbidden! God's People should have
nothing to do with it. (Deuteronomy 18:9-12)

2. NO PERVERSIONS!
In earlier days, most people were pretty clear about what was perverted
and what was not. For most of our sexual morals came right out of the
Bible. But, today light is called dark--and good, bad. So, many
people are getting confused about what is right and acceptable, and
what excludes from Fellowship.
So, to make it clear, let us review the list that the Holy
Scriptures (and the Teachings of Moses) sets forth as forbidden sexual
practices: adultery (wife stealing or wife defilement--for the womb
is to be kept holy and unpolluted), bestiality, gynarchy or matriarchy,
homosexuality or bi-sexuality, incest, infectication (spreading VD),
lasciviousness (pornography), lewdness (obscenity), necrophilia,
pedophilia, rape, sodomy (anal intercourse), transvestism, witchcraft
(cultic-whoredom). And, just in case you are not sure what these
are, exactly, look them up under Commandment 7.B in the Divine Law
Library as the MOSAIC TABOOS, for the
Scriptures that define and deal with them.
Consequently, those who CONTINUE to practice these abominations,
MUST be excluded from Fellowship.
3. NO STRANGLED MEATS!
While some people insist that you must be vegetarian, the Noahic
Covenant allows for the eating of meat (Genesis 9:2-3). However,
there are some conditions to that. For one, animals DO have Rights,
and when it comes to butchering them for food, they should not be
tortured nor stangled--but should be put to death as humanely as
possible. Or, in specific terms, they are to be killed outright and
the blood allowed to rapidly drain out of them. (See below.)
3. NO EATING OF BLOOD!
One of the major dietary Rules for God allowing us to eat meat is that
it MUST be well cooked and not raw or bloody. For, it is a strong
taboo not to eat blood! (Genesis 9:3-4; Leviticus 17:10-16;
Deuteronomy 12:16, 23-25). And it has been upheld by the major groups
of the different Hebrew Peoples (Jews, Christians, and Muslims),
down through the cneturies. So, those who continue to eat blood MUST
be excluded from Fellwoship--and especially from Our Realm of Greater
Israel.
***THEREFORE***
If you are thinking about becoming a member of ZDK (or one of its
Branch Programs), then you need to be sure that you are already
keeping the Noahic Rules BEFORE you enter Our Realm. And to be sure
that you keep following those basic Rules! If not, you are going to
find your Fellowship DENIED.
Moreover, if you are thinking about membership, then also be sure
that you can take and uphold the Varangian Pledge, as well.
