  • Sanhedrin/Muslim/Noahide laws...strengthening relationships from Scripture

    From the Sanhedrin site...............

    Jerusalem Court for Issues of Bnei Noah
    Tel: 02-5661962, cell 050-6733831, fax: 057-7976007
    Email: dbtc@actcom.com 47 Rachel Imeinu St. Jerusalem 93228


    From November 29 - December 1, 2009, representatives of the Jerusalem Court for Bnei Noah met again with Mr. Adnan Oktar, also known as Harun Yahya.
    We were very pleased and inspired with the results of the meeting. We were happy that we were able to express our desire to strengthen relations between Muslims and Jews on the basis of Scripture. We were happy that we were able to discuss what we call "the Laws of Noah". We greatly appreciated the warm and friendly way that we were received by Mr. Oktar.

    It was especially valuable to hear Mr. Oktar say that, as a very devout Muslim, he understands it his obligation before G-d to preserve and protect the Jewish people and look to their welfare. His championing Creationism, and his opposition to Darwinism and the effects of secular humanism, is something we wish to support. We hope to meet again to further explore possible ways in which we can cooperate together to encourage devotion, sincerity, and bring about a greater sense of awareness of G-d among Muslims, Jews and all the peoples of the world.

    We recommend his publications "Atlas of Creation", "Evolution Deceit", "Islam Denounces Terrorism", and "Wisdom and Sound Advice from the Torah" to that part of the Jewish community which is familiar with these subjects, the laws of "Bnei Noah", and related issues. We are exploring ways to use them to help defuse tension between Palestinians and Israelis by supporting devout and sincere believers on both sides.

          This is where I saw it....meeting between Jews/Holy See in Jerusalem in 2007........

          From this I would say Rome acknowledges the Noahide laws

          COMMISSION FOR RELIGIOUS RELATIONS WITH THE JEWS

          THE DELEGATION OF THE HOLY SEE'S COMMISSION
          FOR RELIGIOUS RELATIONS WITH THE JEWS
          AND THE CHIEF RABBINATE OF ISRAEL'S DELEGATION
          FOR RELATIONS WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH


          BILATERAL COMMISSION MEETING

          Jerusalem, March 11-13, 2007; Adar 21-23, 5767



          1. At the seventh meeting of the above commission, held in Jerusalem, the chairmen Cardinal Jorge Mejia and Chief Rabbi Shear Yashuv Cohen noted the significance of the number seven within the biblical tradition as indicating fullness and maturity. They expressed the hope that the fullness of the relationship between the Catholic and the Jewish members of this commission will be a source of blessing to both faith communities and the world at large.

          Cardinal Mejia also noted the recent passing of Cardinal Johannes Willebrands former president of the Holy See's Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews and a central figure in the historic transformation in Catholic-Jewish relations. May his memory always be for a blessing.

          2. The subject of the meeting was the Freedom of Religion and Conscience and its Limits. The human capacity to choose is a manifestation of the Divine Image in which all people are created (cf. Gn 1: 26-27) and is foundational for the Biblical concept of human responsibility and Divine justice (cf. Dt 30: 19).

          3. God has created the human person as a social being which by definition places limits on individual human freedom. Moreover freedom of choice is derived from God and therefore is not absolute,
          but must reflect Divine will and law.

          Accordingly human beings are called to freely obey the Divine will as manifested in the Creation and in His revealed word.


          Jewish tradition (***NOTE: Not Scripture) emphasizes the Noachide Covenant (cf. Gn 9: 9-12) as containing. the universal moral code which is incumbent on all humanity. This idea is reflected in Christian Scripture in the Book of Acts 15: 28-29.

          4. Accordingly the idea of moral relativism is antithetical to this religious world view and poses a serious threat to humanity. Even though the Enlightenment helped bring about a purification from the abuse of religion, secular society still requires religious foundations to sustain lasting moral values. Critical among these is the principal of the sanctity of human life and dignity. Ethical monotheism affirms these as inviolable human rights and therefore can provide inspiration in this regard for society at large.

          5. While on principle the state should not at all limit freedom of religion for individuals and communities nor of moral conscience, it has the responsibility to guarantee the wellbeing and security of society. Accordingly it is obliged to intervene wherever and whenever a threat is posed by the promotion, teaching or exercise of violence and specifically terrorism and psychological manipulation in the name of religion.


          6. In addition to respecting the freedom of religious choices, the integrity of faith communities should also be guaranteed. Accordingly it is legitimate for a society with a predominant religious identity to preserve its character, as long as this does not limit the freedom of minority communities and individuals to profess their alternative religious commitments, nor to limit their full civil rights and status as citizens, individuals and communities. This obliges us all to safeguard the integrity and dignity of holy sites, places of worship and cemeteries of all religious communities.

          7. In the course of history, religious communities have not always been faithful to these values. Therefore there is a special obligation upon religious leaders and communities to prevent the improper use of religion and to educate towards respect for diversity which is essential in order to ensure a healthy, stable and peaceful society.

          In this regard, there is a special role for families, schools and the authorities of state and society as well as the media to impart these values to future generations.

          In conclusion the bilateral commission having met in the Holy City of Jerusalem, expressed the prayer that the Almighty would bless and inspire both religious and political leaders in the region and beyond, to work determinedly to promote peace, dignity, security and tranquillity in the Holy Land for all its peoples and for the world as a whole.

          Jerusalem,
          March 13th, 2007 - Adar 21-23, 5767

          Chief Rabbi Shear Yashuv Cohen

              How interesting! Thanks, cnav. I'm thinking that all of these "group hugs" will sure make it easier for the AC to fool everybody in the end, especially those who aren't the best of friends, today.

                  Sounds a lot like politics in America right now. A very select few thinking they know what is best for everyone. I can see the rcc wanting to get involved with this.

                  It will be very revealing to find out the Sanhedrin have that kind of influence with the middle east peace negotiations.

                    Any one else notice that 'diversity' has taken on a new, more ominous meaning as of late? I thought diverse had a root in divide..but just trying to find the root/origin of any words used in common language today is difficult.

                    I'm reminded that
                    a house divided cannot stand.

                      Religious law may have away to go to be accepted in Israel though.
                      Justice minister draws public criticism for calling for Torah law to be instated in Israel. In Knesset speech, Ne'eman explains he was referring to proposed financial courts
