Shalom. I’m a soon-to-be ex-Catholic with a few questions about Judaism, and was wondering if someone could help me with them. (Just to be clear, my intention is not to offend in any way; I’m only asking out of genuine curiosity.) So without further ado, here they are:
According to Judaism, do all righteous people go to heaven regardless of their faith?
Why does God want you to guess who the Messiah is?
What’s your most difficult responsibility as a Jew (according to yourself)?
What are the most important rules (if you can’t follow them all)?
What happens to people who leave Judaism (respectfully, for their personal reasons)?
What distinguishes the several branches of Judaism (and do all of them encourage circumcision)?
Christianism teaches us that we’re born “unworthy” of God’s grace
and that pretty much everything we do is wrong, very wrong… Is Judaism like that, too? What place does self-esteem have?Is there a distinction between how “bad” people’s sins are, or are all sins considered equal and punishable by “hell”?
Are you allowed to ask honest questions and have doubts, or is that considered daring/shameful/judgmental?
Thanks in advance!
