I think they can but they have a harder time of doing it, Jews got into heaven before Jesus and thus can after. Jesus offered heaven to the rest of the world or the Gentiles. Remember God is the God of the Jewish people and Jesus spread the religion to the rest of the world. The only thing is that getting into heaven in the old testament relies more on actions or good deeds where in Chrisianity is based more on Faith. Jewish people still believe in God.

The old testament rituals were simply a substitute to follow until the Lamb of God offered the true perfect sacrifice. Once that sacrifice was made the substitute sacra fices from the old testament were no longer relevant. Therefore it requires a belief and acceptance of Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice. The sacrifice cannot pay the price for the Jews or anyones sins unless they accept the sacrifice. All those who do not accept will go to hell.
Romans 9
30What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. 32Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone." 33As it is written:
"See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
Isaiah 8:14 and he will be a sanctuary;
but for both houses of Israel he will be
a stone that causes men to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall.
And for the people of Jerusalem he will be a trap and a snare.

Jesus said that He wouldn't return until the Jews say "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord."
The Jews must recognize Jesus as the Christ and Messiah and then Jesus will return. The Lord is not finished with His people as yet.

I'm a Christian, of sorts, and I would assert that Jesus' death and resurrection was meant to convey the message that God actually isn't pissed off at humanity.
Unfortunately, humanity had a huge guilt complex and thought God was pissed off so for thousands of years they had either been throwing virgins in volcanoes or killing animals on alters.
In fact, like the Prodigal son in the Bible, it was a mistaken perception on our part that God didn't like us and didn't want us.
But, since our guilt complex was so deep-seeded, God figured - okay already, I'll get the message across to them in a way they can understand it. I'll endow a human form with my divine nature and I'll get them mad enough at me to kill me. Then I'll explain to them that it was the blood sacrifice to end all blood sacrifices. This will remove their guilty feelings and then they won't worry about going to hell anymore.
And so, Jesus did what Jesus did. And the message is that ALL IS FORGIVEN and EVERYONE IS FORGIVEN. The door is open and anyone who wants to enter into what we call "heaven" is free to come on in - Muslims, Jews, Christians, Atheists, etc.
And so, I envision after death, that those of us who feel worthy will find the door open, and a God that does not hold our misdeeds against us.
But alas, some of us simply cannot accept the fact that God isn't pissed off at us and I believe that those people will shrink away from God's "open door" because in their spirit they just cannot accept that they aren't sinful, wretches - and like the Prodigal son they will wander the spiritual wilderness untol they are tired enough of being cast out that they crawl back to Heaven's door and lo' and behold they find that it is open to them and God has been waiting expectently for their return.

John 14:6 - Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
i dont judge people but the Word of God does. - doesn't get much clearer than that.

the bigger ? is will you be with them for your joy over their not accepting Christ? it is very reminiscent of the older brother in the prodigal son story at Luke 11:15-32. note Jeremiah 32:35 , note the idea of burning people alive did not come from God and is bad in his eyes ,they bible says the wages sin pays is death not eternal torment in a burning fire Romans 6:23. so all who don't put faith in Christ and follow his teachings will not have life, but note Matthew 7:21-23 will you.

I doubt it...they base their beliefs on the Old Testament. I'm a Christian and my God loves all people no matter what spiritual path they follow.

A messianic Jew is a Jew that believes that Jesus is the Messiah. Christians and Messianic Jews consider that Jesus is the Messiah. They are Jews. The factor of view of the anti Messianice Jews is first-class summed up via Mark JPAS while he mentioned "it's applicable to combo a few measure of international non secular factors with Judaism. The one exception is Christianity, that is looked as if it would be incompatible with any style of Jewishness. This is the double ordinary that's implemented to Christianity despite the fact that Jesus is viewed the Jewish Messiah in Christianity. Messianic Jews are checked out with even better disdain. Why? its a canopy for there possess deviations from Judaism. Some Jews ought to keep a connection to Jewish household since they have got deviated such a lot from conventional Judaism that many Orthodox query their Jewishness. They want discover a few approach to distract awareness since of there deviation from the Torah. This is finished via pointing their finger at others to direct awareness clear of their possess movements. You cannot supply your self a identify and anticipate that it makes you some thing. This is the argument that has been used in opposition to Jews that come to a decision that Jesus is the Messiah. We are instructed that the mere notion of one other nature of God instantly invalidated a Jews Jewishness. At the identical time Jews that turn out to be atheists, pantheists or give up working towards any detail in their faith we're instructed are nonetheless Jews. They say that you'll consider in whatever however Jesus. Jews name conversion "becoming a member of the tribe". Things that could not ever fly in Orthodox or for that topic Messianic Judaism can also be observed within the Reform and Reconstructionist pursuits. A well instance of it is a earlier query requested right here. The character asking worshiped the God Ferris however didn't consider in him or the Jewish God. The awareness of the query used to be" ...could you PERSONALLY suppose at ease welcoming me no longer simply as a fellow congregant at your Synagogue, however as a member of the Tribe?" (so he used to be certainly asking approximately changing to Judaism). The reaction used to be "Reform Judaism covers a huge swath of ideals and practices and I am certain you're going to be fully accredited. ... I individually could receive you complete heartily as a fellow Jew." So a few Jews will receive a wide variety of deviations from the Torah however no longer notion in "Jesus". Let's no longer fail to remember the Reform motion desired to difference the sabbath to Sunday to be extra like Christianity. Most Messianic Jews are Torah observant but you'll turn out to be an atheist, give up working towards their religion, turn out to be a Buddhist, become a member of a Unitarian Church and nonetheless be a Jew within the eyes of Reform/Reconstructionist Jews. Most Orthodox while requested approximately different Jews will say they do not know what non Orthodox Jews are. The identical applies to the opposite sects. Speaking of sects Jews will let you know there aren't any sects however its no longer precise. Rabbinical Jews comply with an knowledge in their religion that used to be founded one million,900 years in the past. They have their possess canon of Scripture. There also are non Rabbinical Jews such because the Ethiopian Jews that follows the sample of the Christian Old Testament and they have got many extra books that they do not forget to be scripture. A institution referred to as the Karaites is the reverse of the Ethiopian and best consider within the five Books of Moses. Rabbinical Jews name Karaites "a sect of Judaism". You can goggle it and spot for your self. Don't allow any one let you know that there aren't any sects in Judaism. They say the the lessons of Jesus are very exclusive from Judaism. They additionally declare that Jesus taught not anything new from the rabbis earlier than him. Then they we let you know that there have been no rabbis till 100 years after the time of Jesus. Its all approximately profitable the argument to them no longer approximately what is precise. The main issue isn't variations however similarities. You must recognise ALL the writers of the Christian Bible have been Jews however one. Much of our Scriptures are shared. The significant majority of early believers in Jesus have been Jews. So whilst you pay attention the particular reverse you ought to preserve that during brain. A Jew can consider in Jesus and nonetheless be a Jew. Edit: those who make individual accusations must incorporate hyperlinks or close up.
