I know in the bible it says somthing about Jews being gods chosen people, but it also says the only way to get to heaven is through belief in Jesus. So do christians think that people of the Jewish faith go to hell?

Sadly, some do. But I do not. I believe I am worshiping the same God of Abraham that the Jews are worshiping. The Bible says they are God's children, and I hold to that promise.

Christians believe that the good go to Heaven & the evil go to Hell.
Having grown up in a town with a large Jewish population, & with many Jewish friends, I know plenty of good Jewish people who I believe & hope will go to Heaven.
I believe that the 6 million Jewish people who were murdered in the Holocaust are all in Heaven with God.

Yes all Jews go to Hell who don't accept Jesus. There is a group of converted Jews who call themselves Jews for Jesus. They are going to Hell too though for forsaking the religion of Gods people. See those suckers just cant win either way.

Jewish people and non Jewish people alike are all on the same page wether we realize it or not. The bible clearly sais that in God there is neither Jew nor gentile nore black nor white. God is no respector of persons. The Jewish bloodline at one point, yes they were the chosen people. Jesus himself said of the Jewish race, "I came among my own people and they knew me not." The chosen people of today in God's eyes I believe are spiritual Jews. Those of us who have faith in the one true Son of the living God, His name is Jesus Christ, the great God Jahova! You see, the choice is yours personally. It is not about anyone single people group. It is all about a true relationship with the one who not only created you but also loves you so much that He gave his only son to die for you. He did that for YOU. I don't think he cares wether you are Jew or German or American or white or black or chinese or anything except a human being who is willing to take a chance and believe in God Himself. All he wants is a relationship with his beloved, YOU. God loves you.
Jews and Christians can go to Hell. It all rest in the truth that if we accept Christ and confess Him to others then God himself will accept us.

Anyone that rejects the Lord Jesus Christ will condemn themselves to an eternal separation from Him. The Bible calls this hell. Notice two things please. First Christ sends no one to hell, it is a personal choice. Secondly, it is not decided by race, ethnicity, or color of skin who will go to hell, only by choice.
Specifically, many Jews are already in heaven and many many more will be going. There is a tremendous movement underway where Jews are coming to accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah. In Israel there are many Messianic churches as well as in the states.
So yes if any religious Jew, or Gentile for that matter, rejects the true Messiah Jesus Christ, then they have made a decision to spend eternity apart from Him.
Thank you for a great question. Hope I have been of some help.

Those who do not believe in God and follow his words are doomed to hell. I believe the truth to our destiny is based on our own beliefs. I may be a Christian, my neighbor a Muslim, Buddhist or some other Earthly religion...and we still may both find ourselves in heaven before our God...the same God we both prayed to in our own way, though we may have argued while on Earth as being different.
And when that moment arrives and we look at each other with astonishment and disbelief...God will look at us and say simply, "Hey, if you don't agree, I can still send you to Hell, the Devil will take any idiot!"

I don't think so. They believe in the same God but without the belief in Jesus. I believe they will go to heaven because they believe in God the father though they have left out the next to parts, the only downside is they absolve their sins in a different way.

Personally, I'm not sure.There are many Jews that are probably better people than Christians. I find it hard to believe that He would destroy an otherwise good person who may have never known Jesus or had a chance to.

Jews need to read the Old Testiment to see that Jesus is the promised Messiah.Jesus is offering salvation to Jews also.All have sinned and come short of God's glory.Read Romans 10.
