The Jews are God's chosen people yet they are going to hell because ...?

Question

they do not accept Jesus as their savior.

Why does this not make sence to me?

Answer 1

Unlike Christians, we Jews do not believe in eternal damnation. We believe all moral people go to heaven, regardless of their religious beliefs.

Answer 2

Nobody is going to hell as a group. There are many Jews in the Kingdom of God and along with the Gentiles they will inherit the Kingdom. It ain't about a race of people or even a religious group. it is about accepting Jesus as Lord. It is open to all that will come. ALL
God was never religious, He was and is reality in its purest form. And you were made in the image of Him. Now how do you get to the position of seeing that reflection? It starts with Jesus. When you accept Him He brings His Holy Spirit along to teach and comfort you into reality. It ain't easy but it is worth it. My life personally has never been better.

Answer 3

God said that he would NEVER forsake his people.

The Jews are still the chosen people of God. There is no question there. Had they accepted Jesus at the time, then I seriously doubt that the gentiles would have had antonement. It went the way it did in 1.) fulfillment of prophecy 2.) fulfillment of the law.

Christs blood had to be drawn in order to redeem anyone.

Answer 4

Because God's plan was always to have salvation through Christ.

Galatians 2:15-25 sums it up pretty well.

Brothers, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator. A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one.
Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law."

Romans 11 answers a lot too. And remember, it was a Jew who wrote both of those passages, so its not like Jews are being blocked from salvation, but instead they are the rebellious ones.

Answer 5

You are not completely right.
. 1st of all.. If you believe in GOD , I would be careful about statements that show hate towards his people...
2nd, We all have choices regardless of who we are and If someone ( regardless jew or Christian) doesn't accept things a certain way , Then they are held accountable...

But you must be careful that you do not judge less you be judged also....
Especially since the Jews are GOD's chosen people...
and No I am not a Jew just believe in them :)

Answer 6

Because they were contradictory concoctions patched up by humans, as they went along, and left logic behind, and not the words, or commandments by God.

If you want to read something that does make sense, read "Rational Spirituality" available on the Dhaxem website.

Conveyed only in February 2006 directly from the Source, it is already the thinking person's modern bible that will replace the religions, sooner than most would believe it possible.

Answer 7

They were God's People, but fell away, as predicted, finally denying the first coming of the Messiah. despite the fulfillment of prophesy. When the great curtain tore open, it showed that God's Spirit no longer resided in the Temple.

Next, a small cult like group, calling themselves Christians became the second of God's People, but they fell away from his teachings, as predicted, finally denying the second coming of Christ, despite the fulfillment of prophesy.

Since three represents perfection, who is the third and final group that best represents God's People? Like the early Jews and early Christians, it is represented by a small group who separated themselves and didn't follow the normal beliefs of everyone else in the world.

The question to ask yourself is who is this third group of symbolic (new) Israelites as prophesied in Revelations? They can't be Jews, as they turned away from God nearly 2000 years ago. It can't be Christendom as a whole, as they have fallen away, and besides, they wouldn't fit on the difficult path and through the narrow gate to God's Kingdom.

So, who is it. Is it the Mormons, the JWs, the Amish, or some other small group dedicated to the teachings of Christ and God?

Answer 8

That's the Christian belief of supersessionism. They think that Jesus changed the rules and Jews (and others) now need to become Christian to be chosen.

Answer 9

Because you are either an atheiest or non christian. christians believe that when they die they will be with god in heaven, by way of jesus christ who, by his sacrifice paid the ultimate price for sin. In the old law, sin was forgivien by very strict blood sacrifices, under the new law the old law is made obselete and Christ has taken all of our sins and made a sacrifice of himself for all of humanity. Like I said if you are a non believer in christianity you would not understand this.

Answer 10

It doesn't because it shouldn't.

Of the 3 major monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, only Judaism offers a path for salvation (to use the Christian term) for non-adherents that does not involve taking on the religion.

Answer 11

Read Romans 11, you will see that God will save a remnant of Israel- His chosen- He will reveal the truth to them, and open their eyes, for it says that they will be saved and acknowledge the truth of Jesus Christ.
