Judaism means that Jews follow the 613 commandments and Gentiles follow the Seven Laws of Noah or the Noachide laws. They include a command to establish fair courts to enforce these six prohibitions:

idolatry
blasphemy
sexual immorality
blood-shed
robbery
a limb torn from a living animal.

The belief in the divinity of Jesus would be regarded as Idolatry.

Naturally, since followers of Judaism obviously don't believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah. Especially since they disbelieve Jewish prophecy has been fulfilled.

I guess we'll all discover THE Truth soon enough.

I'm not trying to be contentious, just sincerely want to know:

Are there negative or long term consequences for disobeying or even ignoring one or more of the 613 of these laws?

I just looked up the 613 laws, I read many but not all of them but don't understand how any human could keep all of them.

The 7 laws to be a righteous gentile are much easier to keep, so are there different rewards or punishments for being a righteous gentile or a law keeping Jew?

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment you may give for my ignorance.
