Question Shalom Rabbi, I am a Noahide and live by the 7 Noahide Laws. Though I have many friends and loved ones who follow a myriad of different faiths, mostly Christians, among other denominations. My question is one regarding mercy. I know many people do not follow the Noahide code out of ignorance, not malice. I would like to know if they would be given a chance to repent after getting confirmation of the Truth of G-d.

“What a farmer doesn't know, he doesn't eat,” a phrase I've heard often in my life. This applies not only to food but also to many other areas. It is often the basis for many prejudices but at the same time—to be fair—it can also be a good defense in certain situations. When does it apply and when doesn't it?

This has also been discussed on Mi Yodeya here. Is Christianity Avodah Zara? Given the discussions on the status of Christianity and the prohibition of avodah zarah for Noahides, can one be a...

This is the problem with mixing religion with politics, and it’s the problem I’ve always had with Turning Point USA. While I still think Charlie Kirk was sincere in his Christian beliefs, I think the way he approached politics was extremely flawed. For example, Kirk once platformed an open, practicing homosexual who called himself a “gay Christian” while living openly in rebellion against God. While sitting on stage with him, Charlie Kirk never corrected him. In fact, he affirmed him. And while I don’t think it’s wrong to stand with non-Christians or people of other religions on certain shared political...
