“Anyone who has the potential to admonish the people of his household and fails to do so is held responsible for their behaviour. [If he can admonish] the inhabitants of his city, he is held responsable for their behavior.If he has the potential to admonish the entire world, he is responsable for their behavior.

ב  בֶּן-אָדָם, דַּבֵּר אֶל-בְּנֵי-עַמְּךָ וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם, אֶרֶץ, כִּי-אָבִיא עָלֶיהָ חָרֶב; וְלָקְחוּ עַם-הָאָרֶץ אִישׁ אֶחָד, מִקְצֵיהֶם, וְנָתְנוּ אֹתוֹ לָהֶם, לְצֹפֶה. 2 ‘Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them: When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman;
ג  וְרָאָה אֶת-הַחֶרֶב, בָּאָה עַל-הָאָרֶץ; וְתָקַע בַּשּׁוֹפָר, וְהִזְהִיר אֶת-הָעָם. 3 if, when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the horn, and warn the people;
ד  וְשָׁמַע הַשֹּׁמֵעַ אֶת-קוֹל הַשּׁוֹפָר, וְלֹא נִזְהָר, וַתָּבוֹא חֶרֶב, וַתִּקָּחֵהוּ–דָּמוֹ, בְּרֹאשׁוֹ יִהְיֶה. 4 then whosoever heareth the sound of the horn, and taketh not warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head;
ה  אֵת קוֹל הַשּׁוֹפָר שָׁמַע וְלֹא נִזְהָר, דָּמוֹ בּוֹ יִהְיֶה:  וְהוּא נִזְהָר, נַפְשׁוֹ מִלֵּט. 5 he heard the sound of the horn, and took not warning, his blood shall be upon him; whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
ו  וְהַצֹּפֶה כִּי-יִרְאֶה אֶת-הַחֶרֶב בָּאָה, וְלֹא-תָקַע בַּשּׁוֹפָר וְהָעָם לֹא-נִזְהָר, וַתָּבוֹא חֶרֶב, וַתִּקַּח מֵהֶם נָפֶשׁ–הוּא בַּעֲו‍ֹנוֹ נִלְקָח, וְדָמוֹ מִיַּד-הַצֹּפֶה אֶדְרֹשׁ.  {פ} 6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the horn, and the people be not warned, and the sword do come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand. {P}
ז  וְאַתָּה בֶן-אָדָם, צֹפֶה נְתַתִּיךָ לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל; וְשָׁמַעְתָּ מִפִּי דָּבָר, וְהִזְהַרְתָּ אֹתָם מִמֶּנִּי. 7 So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore, when thou shalt hear the word at My mouth, warn them from Me.
ח  בְּאָמְרִי לָרָשָׁע, רָשָׁע מוֹת תָּמוּת, וְלֹא דִבַּרְתָּ, לְהַזְהִיר רָשָׁע מִדַּרְכּוֹ–הוּא רָשָׁע בַעֲו‍ֹנוֹ יָמוּת, וְדָמוֹ מִיָּדְךָ אֲבַקֵּשׁ. 8 When I say unto the wicked: O wicked man, thou shalt surely die, and thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thy hand.
ט  וְאַתָּה כִּי-הִזְהַרְתָּ רָשָׁע מִדַּרְכּוֹ, לָשׁוּב מִמֶּנָּה, וְלֹא-שָׁב, מִדַּרְכּוֹ–הוּא בַּעֲו‍ֹנוֹ יָמוּת, וְאַתָּה נַפְשְׁךָ הִצַּלְתָּ.  {פ} 9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul. {P}

Jew and Noahide, why we need to spread the message to come back to G-d.

By Rabbi David Eidensohn

What is a Jew? What is a Noahide? What is a gentile? What, for that matter, is a pagan? All these are souls created by God to be placed into clay bodies. Challenge and spirituality thus exist, in all of us, side by side. Inside our collective essence, soul and body, spiritual and otherwise, is our “self,” and this must decide each moment how to proceed.

A Jew can, in one moment, become a pagan. A pagan can, in one moment, become a saint. The Talmud tells of a rabbi being burnt to death by a Roman executioner. The rabbi was wrapped in a Torah scroll, and was being punished for defying the Romans and teaching Torah publicly. As the Torah scroll burned, and the rabbi suffered, the executioner sensed a mighty holiness, and began to fear. He turned to the rabbi and repented. A heavenly voice went forth, “Rabbi Chanina and the executioner are prepared for Eternal Bliss.” Rabbi Judah the Prince heard of this and cried out, “Some earn their paradise in one moment.” We can earn our paradise in one moment, or we can lose it all in one moment. Each moment is therefore truly powerful and important.

God created the universe without Jews. Adam and Eve were not Jews. For two thousand years Noahides were the population and the clergy of the human race. Even Abraham, when he began his path to serve God, brought tithes to a gentile, Malki-Tsedek, the High Priest of the Noahides. Finally, God gave the role of clergy to Israel, and He gave them a Torah at Sinai. But the basic thrust of humanity was originally for Noahides. What happened then?

Adam and Eve, created directly by God, did not succeed in passing on the spiritual path of heaven to their progeny. Two thousand years after Adam and Eve, a new era began with Abraham.

God patiently waited for someone in the Noahide family of nations to search for Him. But things were going in the wrong direction. Cain killed Abel. People sinned and God brought the Flood. A few hundred years after the Flood, people began sinning again, this time building a Tower of paganism and rebellion against God. When God confused the tongues of the builders of the Tower, Abraham searched for God and found Him. This began the Jewish people.

But what about the Noahides?

The bible and the rabbinical literature make it clear that exile of Israel is a central theme of the Torah. As soon as God made His covenant with Abraham He specified that Israel would go into exile, a terrible one. This is the lot of Israel. But why?

The gemora says that the reason God constantly exiles Israel is not just because of their sin; it is so that gentiles can see Jews and learn about Torah. Thus Israel lives with exiles in order to provide a light unto the nations, for the nations. The purpose of Creation, therefore, is for Israel, as a clergy of the human race, to inspire gentiles. Some would convert and become Jews; some would convert from paganism and become Noahides.

Are we doing what we can to promote Torah on the universal level? Or are we keeping the secret for ourselves? The rabbis say, “One who loves God wants to spread the teaching of Torah to others.” This was the way of Abraham.

And this must be our way. True, the world often seems mired in the antithesis of Torah. But in one moment, the lowest executioner can become inspired to repent and reach the heights of spirituality.

We must speak to ourselves. We must find inside a spark and a love that can only be nourished by lighting others with a love of Torah.

    We are one

    All religions can agree on the “golden rule” that we should treat others as we should wish to be treated ourselves

    All religions are same ,one god but different names ,one pray but different ways.

    All Religions Believe in Justice

    God is too big to fit into one religion

    We are all children of one universe

    We are all one consciousness

    All creatures are the family of God; and he is the
    most beloved of God who does most good to His
    family.

    Do not forget that the world is one great family … Regard Heaven
    as your father, Earth as your mother, and all things as your
    brothers and sisters.

    God hath made of one blood all nations of men.

    All are the sons and daughters of God, good people
    all, Brothers and Sisters, since created by One Father.
    No rooted difference is there between them.

    Remarks
    ************

    Some Jews and all Christians and all Muslims anti Zionism and calls for a dismantling of the State of Israel, in the belief that Jews are forbidden to have their own state until the coming of the Messiah.
    view is that only the Jewish Messiah can bring about a new Jewish government in the Holy Land, and even if a government declaring itself religious would be formed before the Messiah, it would be illegitimate due to its improper arrogation of power, and it would still pose a danger to Jewish life.

    G-d Bless all of you and may we all soon merit the the coming of the Messiah in our times.

    Thank you Ahmad Mohammad for submitting your comments. We all need to return back to G-d, Jews, Christians, Muslims and those who do not even profess to believe in a religion. The United States itself, along with the rest of the world is being shaken by the “wars of religions” all in the name of G-d. This has done more harm than good. And we all need to return back to those universal laws which maintains civility, order and the preservation of life and liberties we all do, and can enjoy…under G-d. We are only one when we all act as we are in deed One People who are under One G-d and live by those universal principals which was taught before the Muslim, Christian and Jewish faith even existed. I do not discount the importance of each monotheistic faith contributions, as our Sage Maimonides had stated in his writtings, and the important command we have to deseminate these universal principals to all humanity, which creates harmony and co-existence between people of different monotheistic beliefs. This is known as the laws of the children of Noah; which formulates the basis to have a world where we can all live all in peace, and in mutual respect of one another. We are not talking about a one world goverment here. The “golden rule” is beautiful when exemplified in actions or restraining oneself from doing harm to G-d’s own creatures. When such is violated, the world trembles at is very foundations. We do all have One Father, One Universal Faith in which One Humanity is obliged to live under and by this same faith practise, each under its own tree, as it were. You have these universal principals mentioned in the Koran, in the Christian New Testament and the our Jewish Writtings. Whenever we attempt do undermind these rules of universal faith, humanity’s own blood flows with wanton murder, wars, and natural disasters. As if the earth itself is upset and reacts to our behaviour toward our fellowman. But who is to take the first move to stop, to cease in doing what is wrong? We all should respond with “I”. However that has not been the case in history. The nations of the world have arrogantly sought to blame and accuse a particular group and used them throughout history to be the scapegoat for the wrongs humanity have caused upon itself. Consistenly we have seen that those who have in fact truly reverence G-d, the creator are the first ones to do come up to the plate for service. And for this, they have been trampled on. We all must Return.

    Your remarks about calling for the “dismantlng of the State of Israel” is advocated, unfortunately by some Jews, some Christians and many Muslims, on the basis which you mentioned. The religious world is not on the side of the argument you have expressed for promoting for the “dismantling of Israel” until the Messiah comes. Israel was created by a miracle which has baffled some of the greatest religious minds even inside the Jewish groups. Not to mentioned, its re-birth was predicted to take place even prior to the coming of the Messiah. Whether as you see it as a “improper arrogation of power” or and “illigitimate form of Goverment” or such a state “pose a danger to Jewish life” are arguments which have been addressed by the anti-zionist Jews, Christians and Muslims. However, one fact has been over looked in all of this, including the “anti-zionist”, the question of who really establishes the goverments and powers to succeed? No power is able to rise unless the Blessed G-d allows it. And if G-d is in fact involved, which we hold He is involved in the affairs of men, then those seeking its harm, are they not fighting against Him who established it? Are they not fighting against the Creator? Herein lies the defiance of the rules set forth by the Noahide Laws, to establish courts of Justice. It would appear due to the failures which existed prior in the area of carrying out true Pious Justice, G-d, the Creator has allowed Israel to come into existence, while it does not even hold to the religious standards. An apparent contradiction. Why? To give people like you an opportunity to come back to G-d, so that when the Messiah does come you will have peace that you did no harm to the people He established. And that will happen when the Messiah Comes, may it be now, for His Name Sake. Nevertheless, until that does happen we are obligated to live and call others to take upon themselves that universal teachings which was transmitted from the times of Noah to the present. Not much has changed. We all need to get back to G-d.

    Ahmad, I would encourage you and your collegues to call your people to repentance, return back to G-d. Stop the Shajid, and let the people know, when they strap onto themselves an explosive device to kill,even if it be in the name of G-d, they will not be taken to paradise. What awaits them is an awesome realization that because they have taken the life, G-d’s gift of life and destroyed it, G-d will not consider them innocent for what they have done. No one
    has a right to take a life with such a justification–it is called Murder. This is not self defense nor a struggle to keep the faith. It is un-warranted disregard for human life, which is a violation of the Noahide Law, which antidate any sharia law. It is in this area which people of faith should study to learn so that the religious justification of such actions stop. It is insanity. Opposite of what our Creator has desired for all of us. It is unfortunate that in those Countries where the belief of G-d is so strong, the ignorance regarding this matter is so pervasive. We can help, if you are a willing participant to take the message of returning to G-d seriously, and excise from among your people the hatred they have against G-d. This is at the heart of the issue of your query. May G-d allow us to work to change this world for Good. Where all G-d’s children can grow and learn to love that which G-d loves…His Creations, and the apple of His eyes.

    In His Service,
    RMO
