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...

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.
