On the subject of Hell and Salvation

[Yonadav]

If that was a marketing decision, then it was a completely unnecessary one. No one has ever needed to be Jewish to worship the Israelite deity, and the non-Jewish worship of the Israelite deity never had the zany rules about circumcision and such. The Torah says that when a gentile brings an offering to the Temple, their offering was to be accepted.

It was an issue for the various proto-christian factions at the time.  There's alot about christian theology and disputes that expresses a profound ignorance of that tradition..but that doesn't change the fact that it was a pressing matter to them, which required and got resolution.  The winning message was the message which spoke to a larger share of the religious market.  The tension between those communities is precisely how "paul" came to be branded as the apostle to gentiles.

I can't imagine why it was a pressing matter to them. I've ministered to Noachides a little bit, myself. But unless you build up a really strong core group of Noachides who won't tolerate anyone bringing xianity into the fold, they are very susceptible to xian missionaries who infiltrate the fold and try to turn the Noachides back to xianity. It's really just an authority issue. The xian missionaries want the Noachides to have beliefs that no Jew will touch with a ten foot pole, so that the xians will have authority over the non Jews. To me, xianity just seems to be about separating gentiles from Jews, because certain xian concepts seem to serve no purpose whatsoever, except to make xianity toxic to Jewish theology.

To help put that into perspective, let me point out that Jews and Muslims can worship side by side just fine. But the second that an xian shows up with their man-god, the Jews and Muslims have to go pray somewhere else. They really seem to have come up with a completely toxic idea just to drive others off.
