We Jews are not concerned about contradicting claims of others; only about what God said to us.

As for non-Jews, Judaism states that they can achieve eternal reward without accepting Judaism (Maimonides' "Yad," Laws of Repentance 3:13).

Answer 2

Christian denominations would not agree on a single answer to this question.

Some denominations, such as Baptists and Pentecostal churches, base their position on biblical passages such as John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but though me." They believe that a person must accept Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Saviour in order to gain eternal life in heaven. This means that, unless a Jew accepts Christ before the moment of death, there is no chance of salvation or heaven. This would also apply to every human being who has heard the Gospel message, including those who were raised in Christian homes: there must be a moment when Jesus is accepted as personal Lord and Saviour.

However, the majority of Christians (Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans, Methodist, Lutherans and Presbyterians), tend to go one of two ways:

(1) It is not necessary to believe in Christ to go to heaven. In fact, there are many paths to heaven and although Christ is unique (being God incarnate) He is not the only path to God. Other holy people such as Buddha, Mohammed and Gandhi were prophets who led people to heaven. Therefore, one does not have to be a Christian to go to heaven.(2) Christ is indeed the onlySaviour of the human race, and His death and resurrection have brought salvation and eternal life to everyone - including Jews, Hindus, Muslims and so forth. It is not necessary to accept Jesus personally to be saved - as all were saved 2000 years ago. They believe they are called to realise this and to accept the salvation gained by Christ. However, this does not have to mean an explicit acceptance; acceptance may also be implicit by the way a person lives his/her life. Thus, it is perfectly possible for a non-Christian to enter heaven. This is the view of Catholicism and Orthodoxy.

Answer

In John 3:3, a man named Nicodemus was a ruler of the Jews, and Jesus told him that unless you are born again you cannot see the kingdom of God. The statement "born again" means that God has to see you in a body other than the body of Adam, and when you place your faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, Romans Chapter 6 says we are baptized into the body of Christ. This means that in the eyes of God you are in a body that has never sinned against God in any way and that body died and was buried and raised from the dead and brought into the throne room of God with you in Him. So that is how man is "redeemed." It makes no difference whether you are a Jew or Gentile or any nationality -- without the body of Christ, no man or woman will enter heaven. So anyone who says Christ is not risen in a physical body is still yet in his sins. (First Corinthians 15:17)

Yes, but that sounds confusingYes, Jews do go to hell, as many of them still believe that the Messiah has yet to come, as they don't accept the New Testament or the Son of God, Christ, either. The Old Testament saints were considered believers for they believed what they were told about the Savior of the world that was to come, as prophesied in Genesis 3:15 (the first time the gospel is mentioned). Christ is also pictured many times by His many, many ancestors, such as Adam (as Christ is the 2nd Adam), and Joseph, and certainly King David, the King of David, father of Solomon, the builder of the temple, and owner of 1000 women.

Regardless, the Jews that die outside of Christ do, regretably, go to hell, but that is why there are going to be a HUGE missionary team that is going to tell all of the Jews and just them about Christ in the end times, for they are God's chosen people.

Jews, even though they are God's people, are not all destined for heaven, for they, as well as the we the Gentiles, non Jews, have to believe in Christ and be born again with a new nature to combat our old one that wants to sin.

AnswerJews going to Christian Hell? Definitely not.

Jews (sinners) going to their own Eternal damnation place? Maybe yes.

No, of course not, unless they're sinners. Jewish people that have not sinned have done no wrong, same as Muslims who have not sinned, or buddhists, or whatever members of any religion. That is a very anti-Semistical thing to say.

The Jews of today are not the Jews of the bible. A group of them deviated from their beliefs and rejected their own savior from their prophesies. The Christians are, of course, the Jews who DID follow the teachings and accepted the savior. Therefore, the Jews of today forfeit their birthright just as their ancestors did during Jesus' time. By an extension of their own law yes, the Jews of today will be in hell, as many of the groups of Jews throughout the old testament who continued to deviate from God's word and were punished.

answer

not all Jews are the same. to get to heaven, one must ask for forgiveness and ask god to be their lord and savior. (prayer of salvation) they then build a relationship with god, which i must say is the most glorious and rewarding thing a person can do, and then live their life according to his word. so don't look at the group, look at the person.

Answer 3

According to Judaism

One of the central beliefs of Judaism, as stated in the Talmud (Mishna, Sanhedrin 11:1) and codified by Maimonides (1135-1204), is that the soul continues to exist and is treated in accordance with the person's actions while he or she was alive. This applies to all people, whatever their religion.
The Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) doesn't dwell at length on the afterlife; and nor does Judaism spend a lot of time speculating on its details. However, that is not meant to diminish its importance. Rather, the Torah implies that we are to use the bulk of our energies in keeping God's ways in this world, with our feet firmly planted on Earth, while nonetheless not losing awareness of our beliefs.
Our ancient sages stated the importance of being aware of the next world: "This world is a mere entrance-hall before the afterlife" (Mishna, Avot ch.4).
All outstanding accounts are settled after this life. Some cases illustrate this point, since this entire world wouldn't be enough to reward a Moses or punish a Hitler. And while we're alive, knowledge of the future world serves as one of the motivations to keeping God's will.
The Tanakh does not delve into detail of the rewards of the righteous because religions could compete with more and more poetic promises. Also because belief in the afterlife was shared by all ancient societies and needed little reiteration. Besides, it would be like describing the colors of a sunrise to someone who was blind from birth.
It is, however, referred to briefly in Torah verses such as Genesis 15:15, which states that "You (Abraham) will come to your fathers in peace and will be buried in good old age." Coming to his fathers does not mean simply to be buried with them, since Abraham was not buried with his ancestors. Such verses are stated many times.
The prophets are more explicit with such references (see Isaiah 26:19 and 66:24, Daniel 12:13, Zechariah 3:7, 1 Kings 8:30, 2 Kings ch.2, Ecclesiastes 12:7). The afterlife is spoken of at length in the Talmud. More than 20 pages of Talmud (Sanhedrin 90-110, Rosh Hashanah 16-18, and other passages) are given to this subject.

There are some theories, primarily that after death our souls are cleansed and we either return to God to wait for the world to come or we are reincarnated as a person to work to become closer to God. There is also a theory that the soul of a person who does great evil throughout their life ceases to exist.

According to Christianity

Basically, if you believe in God & that Jesus died for your sins then you will go to heaven; and anyone from a different religion that doesn't believe in Jesus will go to hell. As long as you have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, you can do whatever you want.

According to Islam

Depending on the piety of the particular Jews they may be able to access Paradise but they cannot get to the levels reserved for Muslims alone.

Answer 4

Those who deserve it, whether Jewish or non-Jewish, will be rewarded in the afterlife.

One of the central beliefs of Judaism, as codified by Rambam (Maimonides), is that the soul continues to exist and is treated in accordance with the person's actions while he/she was alive. All outstanding accounts are settled after this life. Some cases illustrate this point, since this entire world wouldn't be enough to reward a Moses or punish a Hitler.
The afterlife is detailed at length in the Talmud. A full 20 pages of Talmud (Sanhedrin 90-110) are given to this subject. The afterlife is also referred to briefly in Torah (Bible) verses such as Genesis 15:15, which states that "You (Abraham) will come to your fathers in peace and will be buried in good (ripe; full) old age." This does not mean merely to be buried with one's forefathers, since Abraham was not buried with them. Such verses are stated many times.
The prophets are more explicit with such references (such as Isaiah 26:19, Daniel 12:13).
The Tanakh does not delve into detail of the rewards of the righteous, because other religions could compete with even more poetic promises. Also because belief in the afterlife was shared by all ancient societies and needed little reiteration. See the Kli Yakar commentary to Leviticus ch. 26 for a fuller discussion.

Answer 7

The Jewish tradition is that any deserving person can merit eternal reward.

Answer 8

Some Christians believe that the only way to Heaven is through belief in Jesus as Messiah and God Incarnate. This appears to require the abrogation of the covenant God made with the Jews at Siani. Other Christians believe that God's covenant with Jews still holds and therefore that it may be necessary to read the statements of the New Testament differently, posing other problems. It really is difficult to reconcile the Biblical statements about the eternal nature of the covenant at Sinai with the New Testament statements about the need for exclusive belief in Jesus.

Meanwhile, Jews generally de-emphasize the afterlife, while holding (to quote one authoritative Medieval commentator) that "the righteous of all nations have a place in the world to come." Righteous action, more than belief, is seen as crucial, and Jews generally accept the possibility of righteousness in all people.
