Once we understand these first two commandments of the Noahide Code—belief in One Creator (God) and respect and reverence for Him by not blaspheming His name—the three faiths agree on five other specific laws initially provided to Noah by God. They involve guarding sexual purity, establishing a system of justice to bring society’s rules into alignment with God’s moral principles, sanctifying human life, respecting the property of others and prohibiting gratuitous pain to animals, including the needless destruction of natural resources.


This explicitly requires that our legal system enforce their code.
