Is it possible for Jews to go to Heaven?

Question

I don't mean Jesus.

Answer 1

You forgot to include from who's perspective? From our perspective we will do just fine, might want to worry about yourself.

Answer 2

Most certainly. Jews or anyone of any other nationality may go to Heaven; but only by going through Jesus Christ. Jesus said in John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one cometh unto the Father but by me. We are also told in Romans 10:13, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord Jesus shall be saved. This includes everyone; regardless of whether they may be Jew, or Gentile; which includes every other nationality.

Answer 3

They are the chosen people, so long as they, basically, adhere to the faith and traditions and worship God.

PAUL said Gentiles are "annexed" or "assimilated" into this because of Jesus.

Christians are "acceptable" because of Jesus! Jews are the CHOSEN, it SAYS SO in the BIBLE!

Jesus is for those who want Jesus. Jews who are born Jews and live a decedent Jewish life and Worship God get to be with God at the end of times.

The Bible says so, if not then the Bible lies!

I am a follower of Jesus. I am NOT a Jew, per se! I was not technically "born" or "raised" Jewish.

Answer 4

Good question. The Jews are God's chosen people; He chose them, they did not choose Him. I'm not 100% sure of what that means in regards to forgiveness.

I believe that grace is exactly that: unmerited favor, so it's certainly possible that all Jews go to heaven. But as a Christian I believe that you must have faith in God as well, so I would say that there may be a difference between a believing Jew and an unbelieving Jew. It may be that only the believing Jew gets to go. BUT believing Jews would go.

Answer 5

Jew or Gentile; the only way to the Father is by the Son. Jews who do not believe in Jesus as savior, no, they will not go to heaven.

Answer 6

It is possible for Jews to go to heaven because God doesn't discriminate or hate, so, if you lead a good, moral life, no matter you nationality, gender, political views, so on, you'll get into Heaven. I know you meant ex-cluding Jesus, but think about the people he taught at the temple, the Holy Family, his disciples, apostles. At one time or another leading all the way back, we were all jews but it just broke off into diferent beliefs. It's judged by God on your life, no one elses weather you get in or not.

Answer 7

Gak! totally!

Think of Adam, Eve, Deborah, Abraham... David! Think about David! God loves the Jews! And before Jesus came along, they more than got through the gate on the rules currently working.

David was said to be a man after God's own heart - you think He's going to let him fry?

Again - a merciful God is not looking to exclude but to include as many as possible.

Answer 8

Did you ever hear this old joke. An angel is showing a new arrival to Heaven, all around. When they approach a certain group of people, he says,"shhhh." The guy says,"why?" The angel replies,"Those are the Catholics. They think they're the only ones here!" You can substitute ANY religion. The deal is....I don't think Heaven caters to one religion, or one idealology.

Answer 9

The Son of Perdition and his angels are the only ones who have been sentenced to the lake of fire thus far. All others have to face the white throne of judgment. See you in heaven.

Answer 10

According to the Bible, Jews will be saved.

Romans 11:26
All Israel shall be saved.

Answer 11

I have heard many Pentecostal and Baptist preachers say that Jews will not be in heaven (or, at least, not many of them) because they rejected Jesus saying that he was not the Messiah.
