Hi, Gilberto, Sorry, I accidentally sent that message before it was completed.

The official view of the Lubavichers is that non-Jews are responsible for conforming to the Noachide laws. The Lubavichers have, therefore, set up an organization intended to promote this principle: http://www.noahide.com/ http://www.noahide.com/rebbe.htm I have visited the local Chabad House of Kansas City. It is located in the bedroom community of Overland Park, where I work: http://www.chabadkc.org/ >>... and it seems to me that in essence Muslims would keep all the Noachide >>commandments (and the one questionable point would possibly be the attitude >>towards the Torah which Jews accept). I think it is less clear in the case of >>Christians but they are also in the same ballpark. Is that it or is there a >>different argument?<< It depends on the branch of Christianity. The Acts 28 Dispensationalists and Mid-Acts Dispensationalists would not care about the Noachide laws. However, the Assemblies of Yahweh (Bethel, Pennsylvania) and some (especially non-evangelical) branches of the Hebrew Christian movement would observe them. With regards, Mark A.
