The Torah Allows Gentiles to Offer Particular Animal Sacrifices, Even Today

--- Quote from: Dan Ben Noah on September 17, 2010, 07:56:31 AM ---Looks like this agrees with what Rambam says in the Mishneh Torah:

Gentiles are permitted to offer burnt offerings to G-d in all places, provided they sacrifice them on a raised structure that they build. It is forbidden to help them [offer these sacrifices] or act as agents for them, for we are forbidden to sacrifice outside [the Temple Courtyard]. It is permitted to instruct them and teach them how to sacrifice to the Almighty, blessed be He.

I am sure it agrees with the Rambam and Mishneh Torah 100%... The question that came to my mind this morning was what would be the point of mainly a Christian Gentile making such a burnt offering... According to edu Gentiles who believe in the Trinity are nothing but idol worshipers  so exactly who would they be making this burnt offering to and what value would any of this have in the larger picture... All this is only good if the Gentile is on the way to renouncing his beliefs and chooses to become a Noahhide or Jew... Nothing wrong with that however I just found most of edu's post have a proselytizing slant. Since its often said that Jews don't proselytize and our forum does not allow it what is the point of presenting something like this... My objection here is only one of being consistent with the application of the rules of the forum... In my opinion people should believe what they want... It makes little difference to me in general who converts to what... Please  feel free to correct me if I am looking at this the wrong way.

Gentile is a very broad term t,hey include Messianics Unitarians,  , Noahides and people that believe in the counsel of Nicaeas concept of a trinity  but still hold Jews do not need to accept this and their word is valid.
and therefore want to know about things.


What sucks for me is when I meet someone and they tell me they are Christian I dont know what that means , because again that can include ,
 Messianics Unitarians ,..............Orthodox(Greek, Roman ETC)................Lutheran.....................Methodist.............Baptist............Anabaptist... Amish....Oldtestiment Christian

CDJ I myself am Just learning about all the different denominations and Im surprised to find out some "Christians" have more in common with Jews then Refrom Jews or even conservatives for that matter.

Yes.  And the exact converse is also true.

Of course they do, Christians have zero in common with liberal-Jews.
