Aug 24, 2020 at 16:59 comment added user6591 @Turk You are in fact confusing them about what we Jews who believe and keep to the Talmud actually believe. As you like to do. My point was to clarify that when the Talmud states they are 'deserving death', this statement is not the same as saying Sanhedrin or the like is commanded to kill them. There are instances when language like this is used for Jews and non-jews alike and means they deserve to die, sometimes with the implication that God will end their lives, sometimes not even that. Don't you go and present it to mean that a Jew must kill a non-Jew who learns Torah. That is wrong.
Aug 24, 2020 at 16:51 comment added Turk Hill @user6591 A murderer deserves death. A non-Jew with good intentions who study Talmud does not. Many non-Jews wonder what we're hiding. I'd rather let them read and know. Otherwise, they'd think we hide anti-non-Jewish topics, which turns them into anti-semites.
Aug 24, 2020 at 12:51 comment added user6591 @Turk Deserving of death =/= a command to murder.
Aug 23, 2020 at 18:58 comment added Turk Hill The question is: Are non-Jews murdered for studying Jewish topics? Yes, they probably shouldn't, but isn't murdering them seems unnecessary?

Apr 13, 2018 at 0:53 comment added LN6595 @ezra with all due respect, the proof text you quoted applies equally to all non-Jews regardless of their actions or beliefs. מורשה לנו מורשה ולא להם
Sep 21, 2016 at 3:29 comment added ezra @WNguyen - You are actually incorrect because the Gemoro actually says: עובד כוכבים שעוסק בתורה חייב מיתה שנאמר (דברים לג, ד) תורה צוה לנו משה מורשה לנו מורשה ולא להם. Note that "Oved Kochavim" means a worshipper of stars, not a Gentile or Noahide.
Sep 21, 2016 at 3:27 comment added ezra @WNguyen - I wouldn't throw a Noahide into the category of heathen. A "heathen" seems to be someone who is a heretic, or one who believes in a foreign G-d. I think it is acceptable for him to study the Creation study, with Rashi and all the other commentaries included!

Aug 19, 2016 at 22:55 comment added W Nguyen Sanhedrin 59a R. Johanan said: A heathen who studies the Torah deserves death
Aug 17, 2016 at 5:47 comment added A L Do you have a reason to think that there are any restrictions?
