Jews believe that all the righteous of the nations have a share in the world to come. There is no eternal punishment in Judaism, only a short period of cleansing similar to the Catholic purgatory.

Oh, I just love how people ***-U-ME that they know the heart and will of the Unknowable Divine. Lemme tell you now that when I get into heaven and Divinity finally tells me the punchline, I'm gonna find -everyone- who told me that I'm going to Hell and I'm gonna laugh in their face. Everyone atones for their sins. Everyone gets a final reward. Otherwise why does EVERY religion have a heaven? (And no, I'm not saying that Buddhists have a "heaven" they have Nirvana, {no, not the band fronted by Kurt Cobain} and that's basically the same thing.)
Everyone says "My God is the One True God."
They're right.
You shall have no other Gods before Me.
RAmen.
Blessed Be.
Namaste.
God Bless.
Merry meet, and merry part, and merry meet again.

For the umpteenth time:
Jews go to heaven if they observe the 613 commandments of the Bible.
ALL OTHERS go to heaven if the observe the 7 laws that were given to Noah and his children.
As you can see, it's difficult for Jews to get in, and pretty easy for everyone else.
Still, I prefer to do it the Jewish way... 613 opportunities to do Gods will, gives you much more variety in this physical life!

No, if there is a heaven we are all going, but it will be different rooms so we can all feel we were right all along and the other guy was wrong.
How silly.
God is smarter than that and only the people who hate will be living in the 'basement'.

I guess a lot of Asians are screwed then, eh?
(for the sensitive police, that's a joke stating that I don't think just Christian & Jews go to "heaven")

Only those who believe in Jesus are going to heaven. End of story.

absolutely not.
as a Jew I would much rather spend my afterlife with a humble and good Hindu, Muslim or Atheist then many of thes self righteous Christians.
If good people are punished just because of the religion they grew up in I would rather go to hell.

Everyone who accepts Jesus Christ as Lord, serves God, and obeys God's Laws. Will enter the kingdom of heaven.

Jews wont go unless they recognize that Jesus is the Messiah. Other people in old times that had faith will be saved but I can tell you that there will be nobody in Heaven that denies Jesus.
