Haven Noahide Fellowship - Established in 6171 SC (or 6171 years Since Creation) - (aka 2007 AD/CE) WEB: http://www.myspace.com/noahides http://www.angelfire.com/noahidebooks/therainbowbible.html http://noahidebooks.angelfire.com WE ARE BASED IN TUGGERANONG IN CANBERRA, ACT. WE ARE ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS AND PEOPLE INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT NOAHIDE FAITH. There is an active fellowship established in Baroda in India, and we are trying to mirror this in Canberra. Contact: Daniel Daly, 29 Merriman Crescent, Macarthur, Tuggeranong, ACT, 2904 Phone Canberra: 6291 4414, email: danielthomasandrewdaly@live.com.au Haven Noahide Fellowship is a rainbow bible-based Noahide Fellowship. The Rainbow Bible is the traditional set of scriptures known as Genesis 1 - 11:9 (from creation to the end of the tower of babel incident). The teachings of the Rainbow Bible go back to the giving of the Covenant and earlier, and are central tenets of Haven Noahide Fellowship Faith. It appears that Noah himself, or perhaps one of his sons, recorded the details we have today in the Rainbow Bible as it talks of historical detail which only they, apparently, would have access to. The sign of the Covenant, as shown in Genesis 9, is the Rainbow. A Noahide is simply a child or descendant of Noah. Noah, of course, is the ancient patriarch who God called to build an Ark and bring animals upon the Ark, after which he sent a flood to destroy sinful mankind, and then started again with Noah, Noah’s wife, Noah’s three sons Shem, Ham and Japheth and their wives. While most of us are familiar with the idea that we are all descended from Adam and Eve, less of us know that scripture teaches we are also all descended from Noah, through his sons, as all mankind was wiped out in the flood apart from Noah’s family. Thus the term ‘Noahide’ refers to all members of mankind today, as all of us are descended from Noah. Basically, to describe this religion, simply ask yourself ‘What religion did Noah himself follow?’ And the answer to that is Noahide faith, the adherents of which attempt to follow such a religion – to follow the practices of our ancient patriarchal father Noah - who was deemed ‘Perfect in his generations.’ Do you want to join Haven Noahide Fellowship? Haven has a scant international presence as of 2010. This myspace page will be left untouched and not checked from 2010 - It is just a referral page. In India there is a fellowship growing which has a number of members, while I (Daniel Daly) live in Australia. However, if you feel Haven Noahide Fellowship IS for you, you can write to me at Daniel Daly c/o 29 Merriman Crescent Macarthur ACT 2904 Australia with a request to join. In our 'Rainbow Bible' (link above) you will find our teaching and doctrine, and if this is the fellowship for you, write to me expressing an interest. If you were ambitious you could form your own chapter of HNF in your own city or nation. Just let me know in writing. I am unavailable on email as of october 2010 until 2020. I am on a sabbatical for various reasons. But letters sent to that address will be forwarded on. Please, think very carefully before showing interest in joining us, because I am really mainly after people who genuinle hold to the bible only noahide perspective on things. I am looking for committed members to join HNF - not half hearted people who might change there mind. Thanks. Principles of the Rainbow Bible - Universal Principles which apply to ALL mankind today Introduction This brief article examines the Rainbow Bible to answer the basic question of what constitutes the spiritual requirements before God of a Noahide. It will be split into 3 main sections: 1) Law 2) Imperative 3) Principle. Please consult the scriptural citations for greater clarification. 1) Laws / Commands / Mitzvot Technically speaking there seem to be only three times the Lord specifically commands the Nations of the world as a whole. • The first is found in what would apply to Adam and his seed in an uncorrupted paradise. This is the command to abstain from the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. (Genesis 2:16 & 17). • The second is found in the command to Noah and his offspring after the flood to not eat blood. (Genesis 9:4). • The third command is to be fruitful and replenish the earth (Genesis 9:7) 2) Imperative. An imperative in the sense I will define it is a principle which appears to have obligatory acceptance required by a Noahide but not written within scripture as a direct command but rather implied or assumed. For example the wording of the imperative not to murder is worded in such a way that God did not specifically command directly to Noah and his offspring in a personal sense by stating ‘Thou shalt not’ or ‘You must not’ etc, but made it so obvious to know that such is a requirement for Noah and his offspring in generalization. The Noahide Imperatives are: • To abstain from Sin (Genesis 4:7) • To not murder and to put to death murderers (Genesis 9:5-6) • 3) Principle / Statutes / Ordinances There are many ideas within the written Rainbow Bible which are not specified as commands or imperatives but are shown as an active part of universal Noahide life. They include: • A calendar system based on the sun and stars and natural cycles (Genesis 1:14) of which keeping the Sabbath (Genesis 1 - 2:4a) becomes a natural part of according to the scriptures of Noahide faith (Genesis 1 - 11:9) • Permission to eat plants (Genesis 1:30) • The Importance of taking care of Nature to provide for us, our enjoyment and the preservation of the Natural Order (Genesis 2:15) • The implication within the command to abstain from the tree of knowledge of good and evil that God has the right to command mankind, especially due to him being the creator. This is a fundamental principle of Noahide faith (that God can Command us)... • That marriage between a man and a woman as a one flesh relationship is a natural part of human society (Genesis 2:20-25) • The Importance of covering our nakedness and wearing clothing. (Genesis 3:1-11, 21 Genesis Genesis 9:20-27).. • The importance of keeping genealogies (Genesis 5 & 10) • The importance of offering sacrifices. The type of sacrifices implied that are acceptable are: Field offerings, Blood sacrifices of animals which are ‘Clean’ animals. Sacrifices are offered on altars. Sacrifices probably should be offered with a ‘Positive’ spirit. (Genesis 4:3-5, Genesis 8:20). Sacrifices are completely voluntary and mainly made to God to show we love him. • The understanding that drunkeness, while seemingly not forbidden, can cause problems (Genesis 9:20-27) • The principles of Blessings and Cursings by spiritual Elders (Genesis 9:20-27) • The idea that God can call individual Noahides for specific purposes in the way he called Noah and gave Noah specific commandments. Additional Principles Established Specifically For members of Haven Noahide Fellowship It is my intent to maintain the Rainbow Bible (Genesis 1 - 11:9) as the basis of Haven Noahide Fellowship's scriptural adherence. Further to this, however, we intend to develop our own system of Noahide Law. I do not intend following the 66 or the 30 noahide laws of Rabbinic Judaism, mainly because they are founded on a false assumption - that they are the legitimite laws of Noah, which is scripturally untrue. I believe all that we need to know about the faith of Noah is found in the Rainbow Bible. We have nothing more. It is the purpose of Haven to develop, on top of the foundation of the Rainbow Bible, due to reasons of an increasingly complex Noahide world society having eventuated since the time of Noah, an intelligent and lasting system of Noahide Law, agreed upon by the founding members of Haven Noahide Fellowship, to be the laws maintained by our fellowship. Such a system of increased Noahide Law is deemed proper and necessary by our fellowship because of the growth of world Noahide society, the need to increase our relationships with each other in terms of legal principle, and done as such by the Authority of the founder of Haven Noahide Fellowship who was asked by God to build a religious community more in harmony with Israel's Torah Principles. As such, I have specifically chosen under the request of God to formulate those laws which should now be deemed as universally acceptable and appropriate Noahide Law for members of Haven Noahide Fellowship. In brief, on top of the system of law presented by the Rainbow Bible, Haven's laws are: NEGATIVES No deliberate harming of neighbour through ones own actions No Idolatry No Blasphemy No Theft No pre-pubescent paedophilia (No sexual activity until capable of having children) No Bestiality (As we can not ascertain consent from animals) No Rape No Sexual Harrassment No Kidnapping No Purgery in courts of Law POSITIVES To live in harmony with ones neighbour To contribute to a societal fund for the assisting of people in financial, health or otherwise difficult circumstances (ie charity, which can be maintained through a societally implemented taxation system) To respect the systems of law of society when and were they do not contradict the Rainbow Bible or principles of our fellowship NOTE ON OTHER SEXUAL AND MAGICAL PRACTICES: Sermon Number 31 in Haven Noahide Fellowship's Spiritual Devotional Series explains why the forbidding of practices such as: Incest, Adultery, Homosexuality & Various Magical Practices do not directly apply to the Noahide nations of the world apart from Egypt and Canaan. (The brief explanation is that the Ishmaelites of Abraham's Covenants are half Egyptian (Ishmael married an Egyptian wife), Joseph, son of Jacob (Israel) married an Egyptian, and thus the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh are half Egyptian, and Jacob's other sons likely married Canaanite wives (for example in 1 Chronicles Bathshua is mentioned as the wife of Judah, being a Canaanite) showing that the tribes of Israel are likely half Egyptian and half Canaanite. This exacts upon the other citizens of these two nations, then, a slightly higher standard than the other nations of the world, as shown in Leviticus 18 & 20 and Deuteronomy 18:9-14, due to their intermarriage with the holy people of Israel. APPLYING OTHER TORAH LAWS Naturally, once these requirements are met, a member of our fellowship may strive for a greater degree of Torah observance if they so choose. Rabbinic Noahide Faith also stresses that you may apply extra Torah law in your Noahide walk if you so choose (with some forbidden practices for Noahides in Rabbinic Noahide law). In Karaite Noahide law the passover would be normally presumed to be forbidden to a Noahide, as this is for circumcised Israelite males and female Israelites and converts only. ETERNAL LIFE - We believe our religion offers the gift of eternal life. AUTHORITY OF THE FELLOWSHIP BEFORE GOD AND MANKIND - We declare that in the World-To-Come, or the next life, or heaven, or the afterlife, that 'Noah' is the head of Haven Noahide Fellowship. We view Noah as answerable to his father Lamech, and so on all the way back to Adam. These are the patriarchal authorities over Haven Noahide Fellowship. We are ACCOUNTABLE to Noah and the patriarchal families in the world to come. In this current life, the Authority of Haven Noahide Fellowship is with the head Pastor and the council of national pastor's. We accept the teachings of the Rainbow Bible (Genesis 1 - 11:9) as our scripture of authority, we accept the jurisdiction of Almighty God to give judgements for our fellowship, and thus through listening to the Holy Spirit we attempt to preserve true and uncorrupted Noahide faith for members of our fellowship. We are attemtping to be a responsible 'Family-Based' fellowship for ALL the children of Noah who wish to join us. We accept God's authority, Noah's headship in the World-To-Come, and attempt to live by principles of Holiness. Who I'd like to meet: Anyone interested in learning Biblical Noahide Faith and especially anyone curious about joining our fellowship... Haven Noahide Fellowship - Established 2007 www.myspace.com/noahides (Associated Noahide Books Website – http://noahidebooks.angelfire.com ) The Universal covenant of the Rainbow Bible (Genesis 1 - 11:9) is the covenant of Noah. Genesis 9:1-17 records mankind’s own special covenant with Almighty God. Genesis 9:1-17 “And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying and I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth., And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.” God's Judgement on the world for breaking the laws of the Everlasting Covenant (Noah's Covenant) from Isaiah 24. Isaiah 24 The LORD's Devastation of the Earth 1 See, the LORD is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it; he will ruin its face and scatter its inhabitants- 2 it will be the same for priest as for people, for master as for servant, for mistress as for maid, for seller as for buyer, for borrower as for lender, for debtor as for creditor. 3 The earth will be completely laid waste and totally plundered. The LORD has spoken this word. 4 The earth dries up and withers, the world languishes and withers, the exalted of the earth languish. 5 The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth's inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left. 7 The new wine dries up and the vine withers; all the merrymakers groan. 8 The gaiety of the tambourines is stilled, the noise of the revelers has stopped, the joyful harp is silent. 9 No longer do they drink wine with a song; the beer is bitter to its drinkers. 10 The ruined city lies desolate; the entrance to every house is barred. 11 In the streets they cry out for wine; all joy turns to gloom, all gaiety is banished from the earth. 12 The city is left in ruins, its gate is battered to pieces. 13 So will it be on the earth and among the nations, as when an olive tree is beaten, or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest. 14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they acclaim the LORD's majesty. 15 Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD; exalt the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea. 16 From the ends of the earth we hear singing: "Glory to the Righteous One." But I said, "I waste away, I waste away! Woe to me! The treacherous betray! With treachery the treacherous betray!" 17 Terror and pit and snare await you, O people of the earth. 18 Whoever flees at the sound of terror will fall into a pit; whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare. The floodgates of the heavens are opened, the foundations of the earth shake. 19 The earth is broken up, the earth is split asunder, the earth is thoroughly shaken. 20 The earth reels like a drunkard, it sways like a hut in the wind; so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion that it falls—never to rise again. 21 In that day the LORD will punish the powers in the heavens above and the kings on the earth below. 22 They will be herded together like prisoners bound in a dungeon; they will be shut up in prison and be punished [a] after many days. 23 The moon will be abashed, the sun ashamed; for the LORD Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders, gloriously.
