How is Judaism different from the other religions?
The scriptures, only call on Israel who witnessed G-d's deeds to follow and keep his laws. No other nation is threatened or blamed for not accepting the Torah/Law; they are not obligated to, for they did not witness the miracles which prove the truth of the Torah/Law! Moses did not demand that the children of Israel should believe in him, for none of them ever disputed the truth of the law, which they had witnessed together with him. But the books of Islam and Christianity vehemently curse everyone in the world who disbelieves them although they did not demonstrate their proofs to the whole world. Judaism says the non-Jews who did not recieve the proofs that the Torah is divine do not need to follow it. They just have to follow the seven laws of basic morality.
Therefore, do you believe it is fair that G-d would tell one guy like Jesus, or Mohammad about a religion, and then expect the whole world to believe it, or go to hell? What about the people who never get the message? It makes a lot more sense that G-d would tell everyone about the religion he is creating and then tell them that covenant is eternal, so they have to pass down the religion from generation to generation. "HASHEM said, 'Still, your wife Sarah will give birth to a son. You must name him Isaac. I will keep My covenant with him as an eternal treaty, for his descendants after him. (Genesis 17:19)
It makes sense. G-d would only expect those that he demonstrated proof, to follow and pass the religion on to each generation.
I mean, what makes more sense, telling one guy about the religion you wish to create and expecting the entire world to believe him? Or saying "Anochi, lo yihiyeh lechah" and giving the Torah in front of the entire nation, after splitting the seas, and removing them from bondage (which more and more proof is coming from archeology supporting the fact that the Israelites were indeed slaves in Egypt and for some reason freed.)
I challenge all reading this to find me another religion which claims to have had a mass revelation and do not put all their hopes on one man saying G-d spoke to him. Of course, these religions could not claim that G-d came to the masses and said “Hello, I want to start Christianity”, because the masses don’t know anything about it. If Jesus would have told everyone “The Creator of the world came to all of us 400 years ago and told all of our ancestors to follow Jesus”, they of course would have said, “Hey Jesus, how come you’re the only one that knows about this?”. You can’t make up a story that involves the ancestors of millions upon millions of people. Not possible.
