Christ Fulfilled the Law?

Well according to Judaism the universal Seven Laws of Noah were all given to Adam.

Is this scripture based and if so would be interested in them?

Again a Christian view not in harmony with Jewish views based on Jewish Scripture.

True, Christianity is based on Jesus and the writings in the new testament. Many jews don't believe Jesus is the savior either.

If we are to only interpret scripture and then Jewish OT at that then it would be rather fruitless for some such as myself who is a gentile unless of course there is scripture to prove the law was given to all mankind and not just Israel.

I tried to find something on that interpretation but couldn't. Frankly I don't buy it anyway. It is quite convoluted. But that aside all of the seven laws are adressed in pre-Mosaic Scripture.

In interpret it to mean that someone was trying to advance a political agenda. Look ahead to Jeremiah 31:38:

38 "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when this city will be rebuilt for me from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 39 The measuring line will stretch from there straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn to Goah. 40 The whole valley where dead bodies and ashes are thrown, and all the terraces out to the Kidron Valley on the east as far as the corner of the Horse Gate, will be holy to the LORD. The city will never again be uprooted or demolished."

In other words, the old trick of wiping away an old order to make way for a new, dressed up in a few religious platitudes.
