G-d wants to give us our hearts desires but we must put him first in our life's. He prunes us (like a tree) in ways we do not always like or understand but know that it is for our good to become the person He wants us to be. G-d loves us.
I understand this... I am attempting to understand how this bad event is intended for good. A Jew has much more responsibility than the non-Jew because more is expected from us. While you don't have any commandments we have so many it sometimes seems daunting. I know that Hashem loves me, I see his good work every day. I say several blessings each morning, blessings on the beauty of the landscape on my way to work {it is such a beautiful drive}... We are exhorted to say 100 blessings a day.... I hope that some day I will be able to fufill this goal of 100 blessings a day.
Thank you for your wisdom...
1) The second command concerning making of imagesWe do hold to these (at least the first two), as well as the Noahide Laws; the debate is only in the interpretation. Acts 15:29 in the New Testament essentially repeats the Noahide Laws in condensed form.
2) The command to have no G-d before Hashem.
3) The observation of Shabbat.
So maybe you are talking about the seven noachide laws...
But according to Judaism Hashem and Jesus are two different "beings" so how can Christians follow the first two commandments?That is not what orthodox Christian theology teaches. Some cults of Christianity, like the J-----h's Witnesses do indeed teach that Jesus and G-d are separate deities, but mainstream Christianity absolutely does not hold to this.

Yeah sorry I forgot about that, what I meant was Hashem and Jesus created 2 different religions.Not sure I understand.

According to Christianity, Jesus is Hashem. Judaism disagrees about that of course but either way, we are monotheists, because we believe that Jesus is one and the same with G-d.

But is Catholic Church considered "mainstream" ? They DO speak of praying to the father vs. praying to the son, etc... This does imply there is a difference. But anyway, whatever.Yes it is, and what you describe is a very complicated topic. The Trinity is difficult even for Christians to understand. The best analogy for the Trinity is the various different aspects of the human mind--we have rational, emotional, and philosophical capacities that are distinct, but yet all very much part of the normal human consciousness.
...they view Y***** as the demiurge and Satan as the transcendent being beyond, of whom they seek knowledge. J****** they believe is a creation of Satan[39] and lies about his powers, and so his Bible is not to be trusted.[39] Satan they believe is about freedom as opposed to all the rules and commandments of Christianity.[39] Eating the fruit of the tree also meant that humans could not be immortal, and must make the most of their time on earth.[39]
Like Islam, theistic Satanism does not outright deny our biblical history, it just promotes the absurd idea that the Bible has been corrupted and falsified by Jews/Christians to hide the "real" truth (i.e. that Satan is the supreme being).
