Why different laws for Jews and Gentiles I know Gentiles have Noahide Laws to follow but why dont they have to follow the mitzvot and other complex rules Why do Jews have to do more to get to heaven?
ZoeB96
Jews and Gentiles (non-Jews) follow different religions and generally each group does not recognize the validity of the other's religious practices. Although the Christian religions are descended from Judaism, they are not Jewish and do not believe that some of the Jewish practices are correct or necessary, so they don't follow them.
There are also Gentiles who are not Christians. These would include Muslims, Hindus, Zoroastrians, and others. Those Gentiles will not have even so called Noahide Laws.
Note:
"Getting to heaven" is a Christian concept, and is not a Jewish motive for observing the Torah's mitzvot.
