How do you get forgiveness if you break one of God's Nohahide laws? Reply

Rabbi Raskin Bklyn hts November 5, 2024
in response to Henry :

You 1) regret doing it 2) ask G-d for forgiveness 3) resolve not to do it again
4) double your charity and torah study Reply

Hello, Thank you for sharing your information for your religion.

I have a question If I may ask.

If you believe Jesus Christ is the son of God does that violate any of your Noahide laws?

Thanks Reply

Why are Jews not required to follow the Noahide laws? Reply

Leandro Argentina April 2, 2019
in response to Derek:

We do are required. By the Torah the jewish people have 613 commandments and the other nations the 7 Noah laws. Reply

Robert Sweden December 28, 2019
in response to Derek:

They are. The 7 Noahide Laws are all included in the 613 laws Jews have to keep. E. g. The law of not eating a limb of an animal still alive is one of the laws. Setting up courts and appointing judges is another. As with all the rest. Reply

in response to Robert:

Incorrect. The punishment for Jews violating the laws is not the same as for Non Jews. Reply

Pok Berlin July 28, 2020
in response to Derek:

Right. The punishment for violating them is different from the non Jews. Jews are punished harder. So the mom Jews have privilege in all cases. Less laws, less punishment. So I ask you Derek what do you want? To be a Jew with all those laws and commandments and a harder punishment or a gentile with 7 laws and a soft punishment for you? Decide and stop trying to paint a black picture about my people. We have to deal with enough haters and antisemites. Bye. Reply
