I apologise; it's from the Mishneh Torah, Kings and Wars chapter 10,
The principle here is that we do not permit them to make a new religion and create new commandments for themselves based on their own reasoning. They may only become Righteous Converts and accept upon themselves all the Commandments, or they must observe their own (Seven) Laws only, and not add or detract from them.
Hi Jay, I'm literally about to go to bed. I will try to get back you you in the morningThanks. Who are the "them" and "they" under discussion? All non-Jews or those non-Jews subject to Jewish lay?
Reading it aloud makes me sound like Christopher Walken."Why is a mouse when it spins?"
Shema before bed.Do you have any favorite sections or prayers in the siddur? What about tehillim?
'A non-Jew' according to Sefaria translation.Thanks. Who are the "them" and "they" under discussion? All non-Jews or those non-Jews subject to Jewish law?
'A non-Jew' according to Sefaria translation.
Yes, it is, but that's what it says so I can't really give you more than that. The context is of course a non-Jew and the Noachide Code, but it never mentions anymore specifically, unless I've missed something.Obviously "a non-Jew".
@Rival, I'm going to bow out of this discussion, in part because I feel that I have come close to doing a disservice to the thread and in part because it feels a bit like pushing water up hill. But first, allow me a final suggestion: reread "Kings and Wars" in it's entirety. It seems to me very clear that that Maimonides is addressing various matters of culpability of non-Jews in Israel and in lands [to be] conquered by Israel. L'shalom.Yes, it is, but that's what it says so I can't really give you more than that.

Army boots.
6 feet under.Good to know....
Where do you see yourself in five years?
So I was going through old threads about what other people over the years had said about Noachidism on RF and I came across this. I assume you are talking about the Brit Shalom (and also its matching counterpart, the Brit Olam prayerbook). I had previously owned the Brit Olam but gave it away because I didn't particularly like it. I'll quickly list why:Cool. I heard a couple of months ago that he's about to release a halachic book for Noahides.
I'm glad you managed to love spiders I like spiders but the bigger ones such as the huntsman scare me; though I would love to hold a tarantula.
What are some of your fears?
@Rival....
