Is a righteous gentile saved?

Is the Talmud different from the Torah sent down on the tablets, was it the same thing just orally or more teachings?
Lubab you are the most fantastic religious moderator ever! I have learnt and understood so much from your answers, thank you so much and i hope your knowledge grants you many blessings!

Well, no the Talmud is not different.
It says in the Rabbinic commentaries that every detail of Judaism is included in those 10 commandments. (It even says that all 613 commandments are included in the first two commandments!) Those 10 are the general framework and the 613 give you the details.
All the knowledge of the Talmud was given on Sinai along with those 10 commandments to Moses. That knowledge was not a new thing that started when the Talmud was written down. That knowledge of the details of how to put the Torah into practice was handed down in an oral chain for 40 generations by the greatest Jewish leaders and scholars. Eventually those teachings were written down and that's why we have the written Talmud.
But really it's all only ONE Torah. You can't have the oral Torah without the written and you can't have the written Torah without the oral commentary. It's all the same thing, only differnet parts were handed down to us different ways. There are specifics and generalities, but it's all one Torah.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad to help in any way I can. And "Amein" to that blessing!

There is this guy named Bear Grylls, from England, who has a show on Discovery channel, called "Man VS. Wild", where he just LOVES eating carcasses of dead animals, and tearing out and eating the backs of fish while the fish is alive and kicking, even though he even has the ability to make fire most of the time AND to kill the fish first... None of this is allowed, right?

No, you can't eat flesh torn from a living animal.

Rev_Matthew:
you don't know if someone is righteous in these blogs.........you have to take my word for it.
as for Noah's 7 laws except for the fact that i haven't been able to follow the 7th law (setting up a courtroom to follow the other 6 laws) i follow the rest.
I also attempt and for the most part I'm successful in keeping the 7 deadly sins at bay, and of course
gods first ten commandments. (I know it's a bit more complex then ten for the Jewish Faith)
So according to Hebrew text I am righteous, and Ususaly i don't talk about my being righteous because that aint humble, but you asked, so i answered.
