In Judaism yes; in Christianity not so much, as Christianity claims its rules (and its salvation) are for everyone, not just for one people. Are Jews allowed to hire non-Jews to do things that violate the laws of Noah, which are claimed to be universal? I’d be surprised …
er, the stereotype of Jews as moneylenders came about partly because of the Christian prohibition against moneylending. It’s not a direct case of hiring someone to do a forbidden thing but it’s close, and I think the precedent it sets would allow for the existence of a center of theological debunkment.
They’re not allowed. The bible says, ’Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the LORD thy God.‘”’
In some cases, believers are allowed to hire non-believers to do things for them that believers aren’t allowed to do.

Good point.
