gentiles - In what Sense should non-Jews obey/disobey Torah?


There are two opinions.


In some cases I’ve heard that God rewards anyone that obeys Torah.


Also, I think I read somewhere in Exodus that anyone living in Israel, be they foreigners or not, must not work on Sabbath or face the death penalty. Would the guy that got stoned for picking sticks have been spared if he had said, “I am not Jewish any more” (because, as a non-Jew he is supposed to break the Sabbath)?


In other cases, I have heard it said that non-Jews should not follow Torah. In particular, Sabbath observance is a no-no.


Which one is right?


And in what way?



Say, because I am not Jewish I must not follow Torah. Should I kill, steal, murder, etc.?


Should I work on the Sabbath?


What’s the difference?
