Jesus died for the "his" people and only "his" people, being the Jews. They don't even believe in him.
So if Jesus only died for the Jews, they're the only ones that are saved if they believe in him. Which they don't. Everyone else is SOL and must obey the old testament which is practically impossible. Logically this means everyone is going to hell right?
Matthew 1:21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.

I was going to try and find verses in the bible to help explain about this but infact I found the opposite.
I looked up Gentiles in the bible and most of the verses of the bible that mention Gentiles speaks badly.
There are only 5 occasions where gentiles is even mentioned in the old testiment.
I'd like to see other answers to this question.

"Jesus died for the "his" people and only "his" people, being the Jews. They don't even believe in him. "
. . . and to add to that, He told them what would happen before it happened, and they STILL don't believe.
"So if Jesus only died for the Jews, they're the only ones that are saved if they believe in him."
I don't know where you get that he died only for the Jews. He didn't. Did you ever read John 4? That was a Samaritan woman, not a Jew. There are many more examples like that in the Gospels.

There is no hell. Hell is a construct of the Judeo-Christian psychology designed to explain the occurrence of bad things, and to provide a society that perpetuates the ideal of being a victim with a nice vengeance that they, themselves, won't have to act out.
Jesus was a man who got nailed to a cross. Lots of other people got nailed to crosses back in those days. It was a nice public way to show people what the consequences were if you were a trouble maker.
Which Jesus was. Most likely because he was suffering from a delusion that he was the son of God. Crazy people do crazy things.
No one got saved because some crazy guy got nailed to a cross, Jewish or otherwise.

no, god said the jews are his chosen people - a promise in the OT.
Jesus came to earth to teach man everyone is gods chosen now if they believe in Jesus as Gods Son. - NT
So that is why Jews hate christians and Jesus - Jesus taught that Jews aren't the only chosen ones anymore, but anyone who loves Christ.

Jesus died for everybody sins.
Read John 3:16 and pay close attention to the part where it says "For God so loved the world"
Jesus said He was the Light of the World.

Yes, but you need to keep taking that logic to it's conclusion. You forget that the OT God was not originally intended to be a universal deity, he was a tribal deity of just the Hebrews. He really never cared if the non-Israelites worshiped him or not just his people. If you're not Hebrew, why follow a Hebrew God?
I don't; I follow the Gods of my ancestors and when I die I will go to be with them. Not Christendom's afterlife, but the Norse one.

EVERYONE is Jesus people, not just the Jews. 'his people' is refering to the divinity in Him and how all people are His, because he is part of God who created them. He was born to save His people, everyone.
