   Jesus taught that the law was the basic of religious duty towards God,   
   but that the teachings of   
   Christianity are superior and that you needed to exceed the   
   righteousness of the law.  However   
   He mad it clear in the below passage that the basic requirements of   
   the law as elaborated by   
   the scribes and pharisees were still required for Christians.  Gentile   
   christians, or Noahides, under   
   Jesus teaching should follow the Talmudic Noahide Laws.  I have   
   provided a list of the   
   subdivisions for the 7 laws of Noah.  This is now an established list   
   and is slowly becoming   
   authoritative.  The 7 law system is official with Judaism, but the   
   elaboration into the 66 subdivisions   
   is basically a clarification of the 7 laws, and is slowly becoming   
   official.  I feel it is fair before God   
   to be aware of and observe these laws.   
      
      
   Matthew 23:1-1   
   "Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 'The scribes and   
   the Pharisees sit on Moses   
   seat:  therefore do whatever they teach you and follow it:........."   
      
      
      
      
   The 66 Noachide Sub-Laws   
      
   Although there are only Seven Noachide Laws, it is possible to   
   subdivide them into 66 subdivisions according to Dr. Aaron   
   Lichtenstein in his book 'The Seven Laws of Noah'. He bases these   
   subdivisions on Rabbi Moses Maimonides' 613 laws for Jews. Of these   
   subdivisions there are 52 Negative and 14 Positive.
