Jews (god's chosen people), the people he 'hung out' with in the OT, the only people he spoke too, the people he created from which all other ethnicity have "evolved", are these great people going to hell for not accepting Jesus?
Thing is, they were there at the time of Jesus and they didn't believe him. Americans were not there, why do Americans know better?

Christians believe all the Jews killed in the Holocaust are in hell but the Nazis who accepted Jesus are in heaven.
Some loving god.

Most christians today have no idea that their religion evolved from the monotheistic hebrew religion, which was based around the idea of a god for the hebrews that was more powerful than the other gods of other people at the time, and who promised to promote and protect the hebrews (jews) as his chosen people. Jews mostly did not accept jesus as the "messiah" when he was alive, and don't today -- they're still waiting for the messiah to arrive.
"Saved?" It's all a myth, pal. They are what they are, so are the christians, and it's the same for all of them and everyone else: when you're dead, you're dead. There's no heaven, no hell, just worms :)

Jesus was a Jew. So were the disciples. As a Christian, I view the Jews as my ancestors. They are where my Lord came from. They are the chosen people.
I'm also an American so the last part of your question doesn't make sense to me. I don't hate the Jews. That's the rest of the middle east you're thinking of. I didn't need to be there at the time of Jesus to have respect. You weren't there either.

J was a Heretic to the Jewish people. He is looked down upon. We are not even supposed to say his name. He is a shame to all of Jewry. Messianic Jews are not Jews. They are Christians. Christianity has no basis in the Jewish religion.
You are very narrowminded to think that you have to believe in J to be "saved". We have very different concepts of what that means. There is no such a thing in Judaism as being "saved" and it doesnt matter to us if you think we will go to hell. We know the truth. We were persecuted for thousands of years by Christians trying to make us convert but they were never successful and never will be. Yes, there may be some weak people here and there but as a whole we are stronger than every other nation together.
We believe that as long as a Jew follows the torah and obeys the 613 commandments he will be rewarded and will go to Gan Eden or "heaven". If somone sins they may have to go to Gehenim or "Hell" for awhile until their sins are atoned.
I think Christianity is stupid because all they try to do is know others and try to get them to convert to THEIR relgion, as if its even a true one.
The Torah says that if a non-Jew follows the seven laws of Noach he will be considered a righteous person. There is no reason to be "saved" or a need to convert anyone. A christian who sins will rot in hell unlike the obedient Jew who doesnt accept J.
If you dont believe me just wait and see. Death comes to everyone and you will find out firsthand for yourselves. I wish you luck. You'll need it!

Science is based on cause and effect. How do you expect to be 'saved' when you do what ever you like. Every one is born clean and pure but it is our actions that corrupts our hearts thus our responsibility. Every one is judged by there own actions and there is no free ticket. Those who do not attribute the false 'Zeus - Apollo' relationship to Jesus as the son of God will be in a better situation on the judgment day.

There are at least 45,000 Protestant churches in the U.S.
What caused all these different beliefd if the MESSAGE is so clear?
Virgin Birth - A preconceived notion?
What is the Imacculate Conception?
Betcha don't know.
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
Jesus? Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Gods do not die? Do they?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
If Jesus died for our sins, he should be dead,dead, dead!

To be jewish or a jew nowadays is to recognize Jesus Christ as the messiah and that Jesus Christ is Jehovah God in a visible body.
The New Church in Revelation is called the New Jerusalem and its doctrine is no other than Jesus Christ is God or the I AM who is that One and very Self that has life within Himself. Also, that faith is not apart from charity and good works.

well its not really that Americans know better Christianity is one of the most popular religions and it was adapted by the Romans who believed and followed what Jesus said.. Jewish people dont believe that Jesus was the son of god and actually reject that fact because they dont believe "their messiah" will not be the son of god but a prophet of god and because Jesus claimed to be the son of god they said it was blasphemous..... the fact is even Christians dont go by the full word of god there are so many people who claim to be "Christan" and claim to be "saved" that pick and choose what parts of the bible they want to believe and in fact are pretty hypocritical.... so i think its really not for use to decided who is saved and who isn't when the time comes god will judge them according........... Also even tho Christians and Jews believe in the same god they follow and believe in him in a completely different way then Christians ( Jews believe that good deeds get you into heaven and not faith) and Christians believe the total opposite...... also they still claim to be gods people you have to understand that since they reject Jesus and without Jesus non of us "gentiles" will be going to heaven so its really hard to compare the two even tho they believe the same god......

The Jews are still God's chosen people. In revelations, it states very clearly that he will return to the Jews and save them from their enemies who are trying to destroy them. I believe God is loving and just. It is nonsense to think that God would condemn a good Jew, living what he/she believes to be true and right. Biblicaly Christ will redeem "his" people. In other words, the Jews. I'll take a million jews over one racist any day-- and I bet God would too.
