Torah Basics
#12
B"H

Using the logical rule that one can infer the positive from the negative, Rabbi Weiner derives several positive aspects from the Noahide prohibition of idolatry, such as belief in G-d, knowing G-d, and love of G-d. Similarly, the positive aspect of fearing G-d is inferred from the Noahide prohibition of blasphemy. The aforesaid positive aspects are not logical obligations. They are express commandments that are included in the Noahide commandments.

On the other hand, Part I, topic 6:3 clearly states that „prayer, blessings and praise to God, even though they are not strictly required for Gentiles because they were not commanded explicitly in the Noahide Code to observe these things, are nevertheless an intellectual obligation...“

Why is prayer a logical obligation instead of an express commandment inferred from the Noahide prohibition of idolatry?
