The 7 Noachide Laws
The Jewish idea is that the Torah of Moses is a truth for all humanity, whether Jewish or not. The Torah (as explained in the Talmud - Sanhedrin 58b) presents seven mitzvot for non-Jews to observe. These seven laws are the pillars of human civilization, and are named the "Seven Laws of Noah," since all humans are descended from Noah. They are:


Do not murder.
Do not steal.
Do not worship false gods.
Do not be sexually immoral.
Do not eat a limb removed from a live animal.
Do not curse God.
Set up courts and bring offenders to justice.

Maimonides explains that any human being who faithfully observes these laws earns a proper place in heaven. So you see, the Torah is for all humanity, no conversion necessary.

As well, when King Solomon built the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, he specifically asked God to heed the prayer of non-Jews who come to the Temple (1-Kings 8:41-43). The Temple was the universal center of spirituality, which the prophet Isaiah referred to as a "house for all nations." The service in the Holy Temple during the week of Sukkot featured a total of 70 bull offerings, corresponding to each of the 70 nations of the world. In fact, the Talmud says if the Romans would have realized how much they were benefiting from the Temple, they never would have destroyed it!

Today, there are many active groups of non-Jews called "B'nai Noach" who faithfully observe the Seven Laws of Noah.

There is an excellent book on the topic, called:
"The Path of the Righteous Gentile"
by Chaim Clorfene and Yakov Rogalsky.

foolishness, custom of adult adult males, a lie. The 7 regulations of Noah so the custom of adult adult males is going are the regulations the gentile ought to maintain and that they are excused from protecting torah. although the scripture needless to say shows that the explanation that God placed Israel the place they have been, the crossroads of the popular earth at that factor became that so whilst the international locations might bypass by they might see what a rich u . s . they have been and how truthful their regulations have been and enquire after their God. In otherwords to evangilize the international locations. that could require them to stick to torah and not the 7 regulations of Noah. God has continually made provision for the stranger to pass into into convenant with God becoming to be as between the organic Israelites. The theory that christians prefer in straightforward terms stick to the 7 regulations of Noah to have a awesome dating with Yahshua and the daddy is a lie of the enemy and is foolishness and a prepare of adult adult males. Why do you transgress the commandment of God by your traditions....You hypocrites, nicely did Isaiah prophesy of you announcing "This human beings draw close to to me with their mouth, and honoreth me with their lips, yet their heart is a few distance from me. In ineffective do they worship me coaching as doctrines the commandments of adult adult males. Your on the incorrect path my freind repent.
