 This article is "Code Orange": Blasphemy

Under Noahide Law, Christianity is not only idolatry but blasphemy. Remember, Jesus was tried for blasphemy by the Sanhedrin.  What exactly makes Jews call Christians blasphemers? Below is their argument of Christian supersessionism which they claim negates the words of God in the Torah and also the Catholic response. 

The Noahide Accusation 

Supersessionism and Rejection of the Eternal Covenant
Noahides, aligned with Jewish theology, believe that the Torah represents God’s eternal covenant with Israel, unchanging and irrevocable. They view Christian supersessionism—the belief that the New Covenant through Jesus replaces the Mosaic Covenant—as a rejection of God’s promises to Israel. This is seen as blasphemous because it implies that God’s word in the Torah is no longer sufficient.
  • Noahide Claim: Passages like Jeremiah 31:31-34 (promising a new covenant) are interpreted as a renewed commitment to the Torah, not its replacement. Christianity’s claim that Jesus fulfills or supersedes the Torah undermines God’s eternal law.
  • Conclusion: By negating the Torah’s permanence, Christianity commits blasphemy against God’s unchanging revelation.


The Catholic Response 

Response to Supersessionism
The Catholic Church, rejects strict supersessionism, affirming the enduring covenant with Israel while maintaining that Jesus fulfills the Torah’s purpose for all humanity.
  • Scriptural Evidence: Jeremiah 31:31-34’s new covenant is fulfilled in Jesus (Luke 22:20, Hebrews 8:8-13), but this does not annul God’s promises to Israel (Romans 11:29). St. Paul teaches that the Gentiles are grafted into Israel’s covenant through Christ (Romans 11:17-24), not that Israel’s covenant is revoked.
  • Theological Argument: The Church teaches that the Old Covenant finds its ultimate meaning in Christ, who universalizes salvation (John 4:22, “salvation is from the Jews”). The Noahide view misunderstands fulfillment as replacement, ignoring the continuity of God’s plan.
  • Conclusion: Christianity does not negate the Torah but reveals its universal scope through Jesus, the Messiah.

Catholic Perspective on the Proposed Jewish Response to Vatican II and the Noahide Laws: Vatican II’s Doctrinal Shifts and the Path to a Potential Vatican III

      See Home Page SevenColorsMinistry@gmail.com Catholic Perspective on the Proposed Jewish Response to Vatican II and the Noahide Laws: Vatican II’s Doctrinal Shifts and the Path to a Potential Vatican III The Noahide movement, rooted in Jewish tradition, promotes the Seven Laws of Noah as a universal moral code for non-Jews, derived from Genesis 9:1–7 and codified in the Talmud ( Sanhedrin 56a–b) and by Maimonides ( Mishneh Torah , Hilchot Melachim 9:1). These laws include a prohibition against blasphemy, which some Noahides interpret as forbidding criticism of Judaism or Jews, aligning with a broader push for interfaith harmony. A 2015 article by Marshall Breger and Jack Bemporad in The Forward suggests that some Jewish leaders seek to respond to Vatican II’s reforms with an authoritative document, potentially incorporating the Noahide Laws, to advance Jewish-Catholic dialogue. The quote states: "The Catholics have revised their understanding of the place of Jews ...

Why is a Catholic Priest translating the Chief Rabbi of Rome's Noahide messages to Christians into English?

-
   See Home Page SevenColorsMinistry@gmail.com Rabbi Riccardo Di Segni’s article, “Noah Walked with God: Jewish Universalism,” translated by Father Murray Watson, introduces Noahidism to Christians as a universal ethical framework, emphasizing its role in Jewish theology. Di Segni portrays Noah as a righteous but ordinary figure whose survival after the Flood makes all humanity “Noahides” (¶2). He outlines the Seven Noahide Laws—prohibitions against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, theft, sexual immorality, cruelty to animals, and the establishment of courts—asserting that Gentiles can achieve salvation by following these laws, paralleling Jewish salvation through the Torah (¶3–4). He acknowledges Jewish debates over whether Christian Trinitarianism is monotheistic, suggesting some rabbis allow it for non-Jews, but stricter views may exclude Christians from salvation (¶5). Di Segni proposes “parallel salvation,” where Jews and Christians recognize each other’s paths, or a “politic...
