Question
We say that the Bnei Israel recieved the Torah Beyirha at Har Sinai and at purim : Kibelu Behava Ma Shekiblu Beyirha. It seems as though we hadnโ€™t the choice! How can we reproach to the goyim not to keep the sheva mitzvot since theyโ€™ve never been obliged like we were with the Torah...they have a great argument there!
Answer
Those gentiles who don't keep the seven Noachide commandments- who kill or steal or commit adultery etc,- cannot possibly have a great argument that can justify their immorality. The seven Noachide commandments- accepted by Noah and passed down to his sons- are basic to ethical human behavior.
