Smerel, I gave clear mareh mekomos in my first post. Look them up. Goyim who learn Torah are chayav misah.
Re, B”b 15b, it’s not saying that goyim should learn it, it’s saying that nevuah was said about them.
Let’s go through the shakla vetaryah:
First the gemara tries to identify neviim who are not Jewish, based on their nevuah regarding non jews(no different than how bilaam prophecized about amalek), then the gemara rejects identification of a navi beijt Jewish by virtue of their nevuahs content, because “do you think that the Jewish neviim didn’t speak about non jews?” They surely did, so the gemara wants to abandon that presumption. Then the gemara defends the presumption by saying that the jewish neviim spoke mainly about jews, and these neviim jn question spoke mainly about non jews.
Nowhere is it indicated that goyim should learn them. We are supposed to learn about the nevuos said regarding those nations.
