If you become Jewish and Jesus is God you have lost nothing, because Jews have an automatic pass as long as they are good Jews.
If you become Jewish and Jesus is not God then you haven't broken the commandment "You shall have no other gods before Me"
Either way it is to your benefit to marry a Jew, get converted or become adopted by a Jewish family.

Actually, conversion to Judaism would lessen the odds of an improved afterlife from both the perspective of Jews and Christians:
Jewish view - Jews must follow the 613 commandments in the Torah to the best of their ability. Good people are rewarded after death. (The afterlife in Judaism is more vague than the Christian view of the afterlife.) Non-Jewsjust have to follow the 7 Malakit commandments to be rewarded. The commandments say things like don't murder, don't commit adultery, no incest, no polytheism, etc., so a Christian could easily follow these commandments as a Christian. Conversion to Judaism would not increase the chances of being rewarded afte rdeath. As for the conversion process, it's difficult, so it couldn't be done just as a precautionary measure.
Christian view - Faith is a big part of Christianity. Faith in the wrong religion and/or abandoning faith in Jesus is sinful. Therefore, leaving Christianity could result in a bad afterlife.
Both Jews and Christians would tell you that converting to Judaism wouldn't help as much as you would think.

Just in case of what? I believe in only one God and His Son Jesus The Christ. Jews believe there is a Messiah and many are now convinced it's Jesus. I think you have the whole thing backwards.
May God Bless you.

Maybe the other way around. Even though the Jews are "God's choosen people" they don't get a free pass into Heaven. I've yet to meet the person who has followed all the laws, even in their heart. Only Jesus has done that.

How can a Christian be secure by potential of being a Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jewish, and Wiccan whilst Christians: a million.) have their faith that they are suitable 2.)flow by potential of the word of God that's the Bible 3.)Christian faith is thoroughly diverse from the different's suggested, through fact Christian's have faith that Jesus died for our sins and even have faith in the trinity; on a similar time as the different's suggested do no longer 4.)final yet no longer least; you will no longer be able to mixture a majority of those faith's mutually so as to make your self suitable!! yet!! i'm specific you already knew this?! and in line with hazard it is your individual ethical sense or nervous of what faith or faith, if any you need to be?? in line with hazard you haven't got any faith and subsequently you have this manner of question! frightening to think of that Christian's could be suitable approximately God and vice versa isn't it? What if and what if no longer?? Being an Athiest is kind of frightening i think of on the grounds which you haven't any longer something to have faith in and not something to watch for alongside with out happiness or something for that count!! And enable's settle for it!! somebody is powerful!!!

As Jesus was a practicing Jew, I've never been able to figure out why Christians have abandoned the Jewish faith....they know better then Jesus?

WOW! Where do you come up with the time???? LOL
In the Bible, God's Holy Word, we are told that Jesus came first to save the Jew and then the Gentile.......
Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the WORLD (not just the sins of the Jews).
Jesus went to Heaven to prepare a place for those who are saved (those who believe in Him, confess their sins, seek to serve Him).
Jesus WILL come again someday for His bride (that is the Church, that is, the group of believers).
What is the name of that song.....................If you wanna be somebody, if you wanna go somewhere, YOU'D BETTER WAKE UP AND PAY ATTENTION.
Hope you'll start using your time and life wisely, while you still can.......

No...please don't. It is Jewish belief that all righteous men/women will be gathered to his fold in time. That means righteous Christians and Muslims too. Understand that Jews do not claim to own G-d, that is apparently attributed to other religions who claim theirs is the only way to the creator. We really don't care what you believe as long as your a good person.

Jews don't believe that Jesus is God, and they do not accept Him as Messiah. To be saved, one must call on the name of Jesus and repent of their life of sin. By faith in Christ we are saved, not by our good works as you say.
This question is almost not worth answering because you have no thought put into it, you are incorrect as to your speculation of religion that you obviously know nothing about. Do some research before you form an idiot of yourself out of your lack of knowledge.

Jews need to be saved just like the rest of us.
We become the chosen ones after our belief in Jesus Christ.
Peace out.

Jews do not have an automatic "pass" just because they are Jews, they too must accept Christ their Messiah as their Lord and Savior just like everyone else.
