CapitalistMike: Added Noahide laws to Noah page

[[Image:Noah.jpg|thumb|right|Noah]]
'''Noah''', or '''Noach''' ([[Hebrew]] '''נוֹחַ'''), the son of [[Lamech]], built an ark, as commanded by [[God]], in order to save his family and representatives of all the world's land animals during the [[Great Flood]].<ref>Gen. 6:6. Noah is also mentioned in the [[chronogenealogy]] of Genesis 5 and mentioned by Isaiah and Peter.</ref> The account of Noah is found in the book of [[Genesis]] in chapters 6 to 9,<ref>https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+6-9&version=KJV</ref> and he is described as one of the "Heroes of Faith" in [[Book of Hebrews|Hebrews]] chapter 11, which [[Jesus]] may have authored.<ref>See [[Mystery:Did Jesus Write the Epistle to the Hebrews?]]</ref>

==Life==
[[Image:Noah's - Ark.jpg|thumb|Noah's Ark, by Hanna Varghese, [[Malaysia]].]]
God saw that man had become wicked in every inclination, and thought and the earth was filled with violence, but Noah alone was righteous. God commanded Noah to build an [[Noah's Ark|ark]] that would have seven (or seven pairs) of every "clean" ([[kosher]]) animal and two of every unclean animal. Noah did as he was told and spent many years building the ark. As God instructed, the ark was made of gopher wood and was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. When it was completed, God flooded the earth with rain from above and waters from within the earth. Noah was 600 years old when the flood started. After the flood waters had subsided, (which lasted almost a year), Noah came out of the Ark. Noah made sacrifices to God, and God formed a new covenant with Noah where he promised never again to flood the earth. Noah planted a vineyard, and drank of the wine until he fell asleep naked in his tent. [[Ham (son of Noah)|Ham]], the father of [[Canaan]], saw him and told his two brothers, but left his father as he was. The two brothers, upon hearing Ham's pronouncement, took a garment and walked backwards into their father's tent, and covered his nakedness without looking at him. When Noah awoke, he cursed Canaan, his grandson, for he "knew what his younger son had done unto him.".<ref>{{bible ref|Genesis|9|24,25|version=KJV}}</ref> Noah lived 350 more years before dying at the age of 950.<ref>{{Bible ref|Genesis|9|28,29}}</ref>

All people alive today must be descendants of Noah and his family:
{{Bible quote|book=Genesis|chap=7|verses=13,23|version=KJV|In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark. ... And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.}}

==Flood Accounts==
{{main|Great Flood}}

Many cultures have a tradition of a global flood and the biblical account has many commonalities with these accounts.
[[Young Earth Creationism|Young Earth creationists]] argue that this supports the claim that the flood was a real event.<ref>Morris, John, [https://www.icr.org/article/570/ Why Does Nearly Every Culture Have a Tradition of a Global Flood?] (ICR)</ref>

== Family of Noah ==
''In Genesis chapters 5 and 10, we are told:''

The sons of '''Noah''' were [[Shem]], [[Ham (son of Noah)|Ham]] and [[Japheth]]

The children of '''Shem''' were [[Elam]], [[Asshur]], [[Arphaxad]], [[Lud]] and [[Aram]]

The sons of '''Ham''' were [[Cush]], [[Mizraim]], [[Phut]] and [[Canaan]]

The sons of '''Japheth''' were [[Gomer (son of Japheth)|Gomer]], [[Magog]], [[Madai]], [[Javan]], [[Tubal]], [[Meshek]] and [[Tiras]]

Noahide laws

2020-09-23T19:58:29Z

CapitalistMike: The number of Noahides in the world

The '''Noahide laws''' are the laws that [[God]] gave to [[Noah]] after the [[Great Flood]], as recorded in the Book of [[Genesis]]. They are independent of the [[Mosaic Law]] and are considered to be binding on all people, while the Mosaic Law is binding only on Jews.<ref>[http://www.mechon-mamre.org/jewfaq/gentiles.htm#Noah The Seven Laws of Noah, from Mechon Mamre]</ref>

The Noahide laws are:
#not to commit [[idolatry]]
#not to commit [[blasphemy]]
#not to commit [[murder]]
#not to have [[sexual immorality|forbidden sexual relations]]
#not to commit [[theft]]
#not to eat flesh cut from a living [[animal]]
#to establish [[court]]s of justice to punish violators of the other six laws.

According to a Noahide source in 2018, there are over 20,000 official Noahides, and the country with the greatest number is the [[Philippines]].<ref name="Feldman2018"/><ref name="Ilany"/>

Abrahamic religion

CapitalistMike: added more to the claim lists

The '''Abrahamic religions''' are those that can trace their history back to [[Abraham]]. Many believe that the two Abrahamic religions worship the same [[God]].<ref>[http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/quran/029.qmt.html#029.046 Surah 29]</ref> Judaism, the first Abrahamic religion, is considered to be an [[ethnic religion]] because it was the indigenous religion of the [[Hebrew people]], but Christianity is considered to be [[universalizing religion]]s.

The significance of Abraham in [[Judaism]] and [[Christianity]] begins in [[Genesis]] 12:2, when [[God]] says to Abraham "I will make of you a great nation." According to Jews and Christians, this promise was fulfilled as Abraham's son [[Isaac]] was the father of [[Jacob]], who founded [[Israel]].

Adherents of the socio-political ideology of [[Islam]] claim their ideology to be an "Abrahamic religion" as well, and this belief is also shared by [[liberal]]s who normally otherwise attack Christianity, Judaism and other religions, although based on its history, Islam is more correctly viewed as being akin to the totalitarian ideologies of [[Nazism]] and [[Communism]], which were likewise embraced by liberals over time due to the opposition of both ideologies to Christianity and Judaism. According to [[Islam]], the significance of Abraham's lineage was through his eldest son, [[Ishmael]]. Muslims claim that [[Mohammed]] is a descendant of Abraham through this line. Muslims also claim that Abraham was the first Muslim, even though Islam was founded centuries after Abraham's time.

== List of Abrahamic religions ==
* [[Judaism]]
* [[Christianity]]

== Ideology claimed as an "Abrahamic religion" by its adherents and allies ==
* [[Druze]]
* [[Islam]]
* [[Mormonism]]
* [[Rastafarianism]]

{{Wikiproject Religion}}

==Abrahamic or Abrahmic?==

Is the correct term Abrahamic or Abrahmic? I've heard it used both ways, and it can't hurt to look into the correct, scholarly form of the word. [[User:Stryker|Stryker]] 12:35, 28 June 2007 (EDT)

== More Religions that claim to be part of the Judeo-Christian Religions ==

We should add [[Druze]], [[Mormons]], and [[Rastafarianism|Rastafarian]] to the claimed adherence. --[[User:CapitalistMike|CapitalistMike]] ([[User talk:CapitalistMike|talk]]) 01:31, 23 September 2020 (EDT)
