Hello!
A question for our Jewish friends here. What is Noahidism all about? Is it kinda like Judaism for non-Jews? Sounds interdasting.
Thanks for any info or comments!
The belief is that Noah was given seven laws for all mankind to follow. Well, technically he was given one as Adam had received the other six, but I'm not going to nitpick here.
The seven are:
The prohibition of Idolatry.
The prohibition of Murder.
The prohibition of Theft.
The prohibition of Sexual immorality.
The prohibition of Blasphemy.
The prohibition of eating flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive.
The requirement of maintaining courts to provide legal recourse.
Non-Jews are only required to keep these seven laws unlike Jews who are required to keep all 613 commandments of the Torah.
If there is one God only, how can there be differences in laws whcih are supposed to be from Him ?
Because specific people agreed to a specific Covenant with Him while other people didn't agree to the same Covenant. It has nothing to do with there being multiple gods.
in other words: some of the people whom He created and ordered to follow something(covenants) He wanted disobeyed Him, therfore He made other Covenants!
how many constitutions are there in one country?
how many laws on the same matter are different in any country
why is there Hell-Fire and Paradise?
I'm sorry if you can't wrap your mind around it. I can't make it any more simple.
He is free to make as many Covenants as He desires. But he specifically said that He would not break His one with us.in other words: some of the people whom He created and ordered to follow something(covenants) He wanted disobeyed Him, therfore He made other Covenants!
How many contracts can one business make with different parties?how many constitutions are there in one country?
Israel is a nation of people. It is a Covenant with the nation.how many laws on the same matter are different in any country
why is there Hell-Fire and Paradise?
you are talking about God and not a playful being who deceives people whom He created by assigning different and contradictory religionsHe is free to make as many Covenants as He desires.

Israel is a nation of people. It is a Covenant with the nation.
a contractor uses the same basic material but the design of the building is decided by its owners.
There isn't Hell-Fire. We were never told of its existence and if it were so important we would have been.
I know this, I also did not find anything about Paradise in the OT. so what happens after people die? that's it? why are we then here?

Personally, I don't believe Islam or Christianity are covenants but offshoots from my faith that have missed the mark. From my point of view, the Noahide laws are what you are supposed to follow and we're the custodians of the Torah.

The evidence that there is life after death is in the Tanakh.
Do you only derive meaning in your life because you will go to Paradise? That's very sad.

I can not see how or why you connect Islam with Christianity when there are no similarities between them at all
as for the other point: where in the OT does it say it was revealed by God to all nations?
if it is from God, how do you explain the countless mistakes in it, the first page as an example?
no Muslim nor Prophet Muhammad, nor the Holy Quran says that islam is a new religion, or deny any Prophet or Book from God :
2:41. And believe in what I have sent down (this Qur'an), confirming that which is with you, [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], and be not the first to disbelieve therein, and buy not with My Verses [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] a small price (i.e. getting a small gain by selling My Verses), and fear Me and Me Alone. (Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol. I, Page 253).
2:91. And when it is said to them (the Jews), "Believe in what Allah has sent down," they say, "We believe in what was sent down to us." And they disbelieve in that which came after it, while it is the truth confirming what is with them. Say (O Muhammad Peace be upon him to them): "Why then have you killed the Prophets of Allah aforetime, if you indeed have been believers?"
2:136. Say (O Muslims), "We believe in Allah and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob), and to Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)], and that which has been given to Musa (Moses) and 'Iesa (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam)."
The evidence that there is life after death is in the Tanakh.
what is the source of Tanakah?
what kind of lefe and where will it be?
I do not derive anything. I follow what my Creator told me through His Book and Prophet.Do you only derive meaning in your life because you will go to Paradise? That's very sad.
I posted a thread about (the Fall) in both the OT and the Holy Quran. the answer is there in detail.
I don't discuss scripture itself with people who are so uninterested in what it says and how it has been interpreted throughout history but only want to tear it down.I can not see how or why you connect Islam with Christianity when there are no similarities between them at all

Whatever. I don't like you enough to go into any sort of in depth conversation.no Muslim nor Prophet Muhammad, nor the Holy Quran says that islam is a new religion, or deny any Prophet or Book from God :

can you tell us the proof that it is from God?
our Quran also says the messiah will come. He is Jesus, he as Moses and every true Prophet of God were Muslims; submitting to the One True GodOur Tanakh basically says that when Messiah comes, you'll see we were right.
Whatever. I don't like you enough to go into any sort of in depth conversation.
