Okay, I'm not Jewish, but my theology teacher said that Jews believe that they are going to hell. She said that Jesus went to hell to save the sould who couldn't make it to heaven because the gates of heaven were closed. She said that back then before Jesus' time, while they were waiting for the messiah, they beleived that they would go to hell untill the messiah came to save them.
I asked "So are you saying that Jews think they're going to hell?"
She replied yes
Then I asked, "I thought Jews didn't beleive in hell?"
And she went on and said modern ones might but most should believe in hell because thats how it was before Jesus' time.
Now this kinda pissed me off because
a) I'm not Jewish and neither is she so how would she know?
b) She said that Jews "Should believe in hell" but guess what she is not God, nor a Jew.
I want to get a Jewish person's answer on this or someone who has a degree in theology. Someone reputable. Sources would be great. I want to know!
