What the heck are you talking about? If they don't align themselves with the nation of Isreal, they had to no such thing. The revelation was given to Israel.

Anyone could be a convert to Judaism.

Anyone could become a Jew.

Matthew 23:15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

Acts 2:11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

Acts 6:5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism.

Acts 13:43 When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.

Esther 8:17 In every province and in every city to which the edict of the king came, there was joy and gladness among the Jews, with feasting and celebrating. And many people of other nationalities became Jews because fear of the Jews had seized them.

Jesus said the Pharisees and teachers of the law traveled over land and sea to win a single convert.

You do not say what Jesus says.

You do not say what Jesus says.
You say whatever comes comes next into your mind.

There is no wisdom in that method


This is fun.

I agree. Shammaite followers did not behave that way.

There are people here who say they do not have to obey anything that Jesus says because he came first for the Jews. They do not know what they are supposed to obey so they obey nothing.

However, Jesus reveals himself to those who obey him that is when he give understanding.

Jesus told a paralyzed man to stand up and walk. Is that a command to everyone? Since you are not paralyzed, does that mean you are not to obey anything Jesus said? NO.
