This was in reference to those who were requiring Gentiles to be circumcized AND obey the Laws of Moses in order to join the congegation...If this was merely Talmudis interpretation, then why would the believing Jew have brought these into the equation?...There must be some biblical weight to these, or they would not have brought them up and agreed to them being good for the Gentile believer...

As I said, the Talmud based its list of the seven Noahide Laws
on its interpretation of certain verses in Genesis. The Talmud then takes it upon itself to impose a potential death penalty on a
Gentile who breaks any of the seven laws which I list below. Now certainly, the death penalty for murder was instituted in
Genesis 9:6, and God established the
Noahic Covenant in
Genesis 9:8, and human government is established in
Genesis chapters 9 and 10. (See the list of the seven Noahic laws below).
***Excerpt:***
The Talmud (tractate Sanhedrin 56a/b, quoting Tosefta Sanhedrin 9:4) states that the instruction to not eat "flesh with the life" was given to Noah, and that Adam and Eve had already received six other commandments. Adam and Eve were not enjoined from eating from a living animal since they were forbidden to eat any animal. [7] The remaining six are exegetically derived from a seemingly superfluous sentence in Genesis 2:16
Noahide Laws
Here is the sixth Noahide Law. It is the Talmuds interpretation of Genesis 9:4
6.Prohibition of eating flesh taken from an animal
while it is still alive. This is based on
Genesis 9:4 "Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
Here are all seven Noahide Laws. (And many of these are similiar to what is found in the 10 commandments).
1.Prohibition of Idolatry
2.Prohibition of Murder
3.Prohibition of Theft
4.Prohibition of Sexual immorality
5.Prohibition of Blasphemy
6.Prohibition of eating flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive
7.Establishment of courts of law
The Talmud however, interprets
Genesis 2:16 as containing the six prohibitions mentioned in its seven Noahide Laws. There was only
one prohibition given to Adam before the fall, and that was to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
(See Genesis 2:16-17). None of the six prohibitions of the Noahide Laws supposedly found in
Genesis 2:16-17 were given to Adam. Since man had not yet fallen, there was no knowledge of murder, or theft, or sexual immorality, ect... and therefore no need for a prohibition against those things.
And there is no mention in the
Noahic Covenant (See Genesis chapter 9) of a prohibition against theft, sexual immorality, or blasphemy which are three of the Talmud's Noahide Laws.
The Noahic Covenant does not equal the Noahide Laws mentioned in the Talmud.
As this thread is not about the Noahide Laws, this is all I am going to comment on it.
