Seeking the Truth: Advice For Jews and Non-Jews
Question
Please contact me. 740-470-2872. I have no idea what's going on because everyone around me is preventing me from finding out the truth. But God revealed himself to me and told me I was a Son of God and told me my real name. Now I'm seeking the truth and answers but keep being met with resistance. Please help me to understand what it is I'm supposed to do.
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question!
It is not clear to me from your question if you are Jewish.
If you are not Jewish, there is no need to convert to Judaism. (Below I will discuss if you ARE Jewish) 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.” They are called “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. There is no need to follow any other religion. You can pray to God in your own words and your own language.vTake 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!
If you are Jewish, I strongly encourage you to reach out to your local Orthodox synagogue and rabbi. Get involved in the Jewish community. Buy yourself a ‘siddur,’ a prayer book, and other basic Jewish books. The “Artscroll” company has a great selection of such books. Look them up.
With blessings…
