say you believe in the same god they do, but you are not the chosen race as them?
Only the children of god will go to heaven. Sorry, gentiles but you can't come. It was written a long time ago.

Judaism clearly states that Jesus was not the son of god. So whatever Jesus said is irrelevant in the eyes of the god of the Jews.
I hope that's not the god you are hoping to meet.

PLEASE, PAY ATTENTION!
We know too well that the Sumerians (later known as Hebrews) that left Ur of Mesopotamia to follow the man called then Avram (later he acquired the name of Abraham) who had envisioned the existence of the one god, were the chosen people of this god. We also know that the Hebrews were told that a Messiah would arrive to save them. Christianity at the time of Jesus did not exist, it was therefore a group of Hebrews that decided to follow Jesus regarding him as the spoken of Messiah. Christianity flourished after the crucifixion of Jesus, and I personally refer the Gentiles of today, as the impatient Jews that prompted to accept Jesus as the Messiah, and I refer the present Hebrews, as the patient Jews that still await the coming of the Messiah. Abraham's God remains therefore the same deity for both Jews and Christians. Simple is it not?

The Old Testament never says that the Gentiles will not go to Heaven. As a matter of fact, the idea of Heaven in the Old Testament wasn't exactly set in stone.
And have you not read Isaiah 19?
It talks about God's compassion and love for Egypt and Assyria.
They can laugh all they want, Jesus is God, God is God, The Holy Spirit is God.
El Echad baby!!!
They'll see it one.
They are God's chosen people, but not his only people. They were chosen to bring the news of God to the rest of the world.
Anyway, bless you.

Christianity doesn't believe in racism, so no race is chosen. Plus, no one is going to heaven unless baptised as a Christian, according to Christians. Only Muslims will go to heaven according to Islam. Only Jews will go to heaven according to judaism. Isn't this a little suspicious? Don't you think this is religions' trick to attract followers? By the way, Jesus never said such things, he accepted in His kingdom good people, no matter what their social, religious and race status was.
By the way, a small joke: Olmert goes to the US, and Bush has a white telephone on his desk. So Olmert says, what is this? I thought there was a red phone here! No, says Bush, this is a direct connection to God. May I? says Olmert. Sure, go ahead, but it costs 1 million dollars. So Olmert makes the call, speak with God, pays and leaves. When Bush visits Israel, He sees a similar phone. He says: I see you have a white phone too. Can I try it? Sure, says Olmert. Bush makes the call, speaks with God, and asks what he should pay. Naahhh, says Olmert, it's just a local call!

They may laugh. But Christians believe in God and so do Jews. They just believe in different things then we do. Everyone shoudl go to Heaven,but not everyone has accepted God and everyone will nto accept Him because God is being taken out of everything. God wants us all to go to our eternal home with Him in Heaven. We all want to do what we want. And God will judge us for that. Just because they believed in something different,that doesn't mean they can't go to Heaven. If they come to accept God into their heart as their Lord and God, they will go to Heaven. If they don't then they are going to Hell. Sorry people Hell is a real place. It is a eternal death in a fiery furnace! I'm not trying to scare you. But if we don't get saved then we are going to Hell.

ummm yeah read the whole old testament...try isaiah
Edit:
Jesus quoted from the old testament many many times which was his hub...the old testament was his source of proof, his reference. If you read what he quotes and then read it in the old testament in the original context, you will see that it is very relevant to the context in which Jesus speaks. Read also in the new testament where it says things like "and jesus did this so that the prohpecy may be fulfilled" and then read in the old testament where it is prohpesied about him. If you do proper research you will have no excuse but to see that Jesus' use of and fulfillment of the old testament has been scientifically fulfilled as well as biblically relevant and accurate. If you say that whatever jesus says is irrelevant because the jews don't believe in him, then that means you don't hold to the old testament. Jesus quoted and fullfilled prophecy after prophecy from it many many times and in every way applicable. Prophecy being fulfilled was always the primary way that Jews knew something was from God or not. Jesus fulfilled hundreds of prophesies. Research what Jesus fulfilled and you will see that he brings to life and relevance, the old testament. Now, If you don't believe that what Jesus says has any relevance to your question than in order not to contradict yourself, you have to disclaim the old testament as having no validity in your opinion. Now if you do this honestly, then I'd say you stand a farther chance of getting to heaven then christians do.
The things Jesus said were very applicable and very relevant to a biblical (old testament and new) view of the kingdom of God and how salvation would come to man

For God (only one God) so loved the world (not just the Jewish nation) that He gave His only begotten Son, (that would be Jesus) that WHOSOEVER (that means ANYONE) believeth in Him (we are talking about believing in Jesus here) should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Funny. You just give us a better light to be seen by. We forgive you. We so much want to be with you and God. He has shown us the truth, and you are in it. You laugh at me. You scorn me. You do not welcome me or consider me in any way, equal to you. The parable of the Prodigal Son, surely shows us this....
