God: Non-Jews
Question
Once it happens with me that G-d of Israel reveals himself to me in dream, and he guided me for years, but in my foolishness, I made a mistake by taking baptism thinking of Jesus is the same, since then I lost the guidance from Hashem. What should I do to get back to Hashem, so I can have same relation with him again.
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
It appears to me that you are not Jewish.
While I cannot comment on Christianity or Christian beliefs, I can offer some guidance on what Judaism sees as the ideal belief system for non-Jews. Jews accept the Bible and its laws not only as binding, but also as the key to a meaningful life and a relationship with God. We don’t believe that anyone died for us but rather that ever person is rewarded for their good deeds and punished for their bad deeds.
Judaism believes that God loves all mankind. One does not need to become Jewish to go to heaven. All that God wants from the Non-Jewish world is that they observe 7 precepts, or commandments. They are known as the “Noahide Laws” because the requirement to observe these seven laws was given Noah, a righteous non-Jew (yes, the fellow from the story with the flood).
The 7 laws are:
1. Don’t murder.
2. Don’t steal.
3. Don’t worship false gods.
4. Don’t be sexually immoral.
5. Don’t eat a limb from an animal that is still alive.
6. Don’t curse God.
7. Establish a system of justice.
Any human being who observes these laws goes to heaven.
I encourage you to engage in prayer and reach out to God. Speak to Him, tell Him what’s on your mind. Pray for your concerns. At the same time, perform good deeds as often as you can. God loves you!
I believe that you will then find a positive change in your life.
Take a look at the website https://www.netivonline.org/ which specializes in helping non-Jews with religious beliefs. There is a wealth of information there that you will find useful and inspiring. It is also worth looking up the “Noahide” or "B'nai Noach" movement and consider joining them!
