Hi Reb,
In the Divine Code, the word "liable" seems to mean the death penalty in a court, not losing a share in the world to come. It is the sort of offence that cannot get a person forgiveness in a court of law even though it is possible from God. It is the court of law liability that I'm concerned with since that seems to be the sort of liability that would part of the legal life of a country that upholds the basic noahide code. And in the basic codes of the noahide law in the Talmud and the mishneh torah, I've never seen the concept of liable used for the loss of a place in the world to come.
Shalom,
David
