[quote=Anonymous][quote]Why are you bringing gentiles into the discussion? This is about jews and god and those that are atheist believing they are still jewish.[/quote]

If they ceaseed to be Jewish they would become gentiles, so showing they are treated differently than gentiles is relevant.

[quote]It appears you may be incorrect on this anyways. The seven laws of Noah specifically state that gentiles cannot worship anyone but the same god as the jews believe in. Seems strange to expect that non jews believe in god, but jews don't have to.

Your source is wrong. The ban on idolatry is not found in Gen 9, which is the source of the commandments to the sons of Noah.

[quote]"But an individual descended from the people does not escape the covenant". The bible seems to imply that he does. It doesn't say the covenant is the jew's covenant. It says it's God's covenant. "If [b][quote]you obey me completely and keep my covenan[/quote][/b]t, you will be my treasured possession among all peoples, though all the earth is mine." Maybe you have a different translation, but this is the one I pulled up.[/quote]

The you is the Jewish people assembled at Sinai. You can choose to intepret that differently if you wish, and it may be that other Christians do. But the Jewish interpretation, is that this is a covenant between the people Israel and God, and that is how it has been read by the Jewish tradition.   I thought it was the Jewish position you wished to learn about?  Are you interested in learning, or are you here to argue?
