Overview continued

The non-Jewish peoples of the world have a religious duty, an obligation which, if fulfilled, will bring peace and harmony to the world and will give the Righteous Gentile a share in the Olam haBa - the blessed World-to-Come. God gave Mankind two paths1 by which the unity of man can be realized. Judaism is one path, and Noahism is the other path. This we know, and this we are aware of, because Judaism has preserved the knowledge and instruction of the path of the righteous Gentile - the Seven Laws of the Children of Noah (also known as the Seven Laws of Noah, or the Seven Noachide Commandments). Therefore, it is incumbent upon the non-Jew to become aware of what his religious duty is and how to fulfill it. In order to accomplish this, one must realize that God has ordained the rabbis2 and the sanctity of rabbinic authority as the means of protecting and teaching this ancient doctrine. Why must we accept the rabbis and the sanctity of rabbinic authority? Because there is no source outside the Talmud and the later rabbinic teachings that delineate the Seven Commandments of the Children of Noah. Only from the Orthodox Jews do we learn what our religious duty is, and how to fulfill it through the observance of the Seven Noahide Laws.
