Modern Judaism may discourage it, but that’s not what the Torah teaches. While the Torah is extremely strict in it’s conditions, it actually encourages those Gentiles who live among the Jews and who follow YHWH to keep the Law.
So? That’s far from forcing conversion, or even annoying to death via proselytizing.
Post 43: I think a little clarification is needed here. When I first read this comment “While the Torah is extremely strict in it’s conditions, it actually encourages those Gentiles who live among the Jews and who follow YHWH to keep the Law.” I thought you were wrong paladin1_dcs in that Gentile believers are never encouraged to go under the law. I was assuming you were referring to Gentile believers but when I re-read your post I realised you were referring to Gentiles in the Old Testament time who lived amongst the Jews and yes they were encouraged also to keep the law. I’m glad I worked your post out!
