Question
Is a Jewish thief and swindler more important in the eyes of God than a Gentile who observes the seven commandments (even without knowing they are commandments)?
Answer
Peace and blessings
A Jew is a child of God, 'and Israel, even though he has sinned, remains Israel'. After all the punishments for his sins, ultimately, he has a share in the World to Come. [Except for a few, who sin and lead others to sin, as detailed in the Mishnah, who do not have a share in the World to Come]
A Gentile, even if he is decent and behaves well, is not a child of God. And he has no guarantee of being in the World to Come.
