I'm Jewish and my best friend is Christian. She says she doesn't believe that we go to hell, but some other girl said that we do. I have even heard mixed anwsers from ministers. One said that Jews need to find Jesus or we wont go to heaven and another said that Jews don't go to hell because both religions believe in the same G-D. I was just wondering what most Christians believe..

As a people God chose the Jews so that His majesty and glory would be made manifest to the rest of the world. The first Christians were Jews, and the spread of Christianity in its early days was primarily due to messianic Jews. In fact, all the authors of the Christian bible, save one, were Jews who lived in the days before the Second Temple was destroyed in 70 CE.
But, like all other peoples, they (the Jewish people) are held to the same standards that God holds all peoples to. The Jew must acknowledge Christ as their means of reconciliation with a just God. If Jesus did not fulfill biblical prophecy, if he is not the promised Messiah of Israel, if he was not born of a virgin, if he did not die for the sins of the world and rise from the dead, if he is not coming back as King of all kings to rule and reign here forever- then he is the Messiah and Savior of nobody. He is a false prophet and the writers of the New Testament were either deceivers or deceived. In other words, if Christ is not the Messiah of the Jews then He is not the Savior of the Christians.

Christians believe that both Jewish and Gentile people need to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Christians do not judge anyone as to whether they will go to Heaven or Hell because Jesus Christ will judge each and every human that ever lived and will ever live. Having said that, if I were Jewish and loved Jesus the same as I do as a Christian I would be very proud to be Jewish considering that He Is the true Messiah.

John 14:6 (Jesus speaking) "I am the way, the truth, and the (everlasting) life, no man comes to the Father except through me."
No matter what denomination of Christian or other religious category people are a part of the bible teaches us that if a person does not accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord they are not going to heaven. As far as the judgment of souls, that is left purely up to God. No one, and I mean no one, should be telling anyone that they are going to hell because they don't know how God will judge that person. The strength of truth is within God's word. Whatever guidelines God gives are the ones He'll abide by...period. So when people ask me about things of this nature I always ask them "Well, what does the bible say?"

The difference in the Christian faith and the Jewish faith is the view in terms of the Messiah. Christians believe that Jesus was the Messiah, and Jews believe that the Messiah hasn't come yet. I believe that Jesus died for our sins so that we could be saved. However, if you follow all of the Jewish laws (which is rather difficult to do) I think you should be allowed into heaven. That is my opinion, ultimately however it will be for God to decide.

Well, some believe the Abramiac covenant still remains. Yet they read over the fact that both Israel and Judah were given writs of divorce for spiritual infidelity.
God provided a new means in the form of an eternal lamb for sacrifice which was Jesus Christ. Therefore, the eternal lamb's blood is applied to person just as the lamb's blood was applied to the doorposts during the time of the first passover. Jesus Christ's blood is the eternal passover.
The eternal death is now passing over those that have Christ's blood applied to them.
So in answer to your question if Jesus Christ's blood is not applied to you, then the eternal or spiritual death when it comes upon you. Your fate will be the same as the Egyptians during the time of Moses.

Christians believe that the jews are the chose people because that is what the bible says...Jesus was a Jew. Christians must repent of there sins and accept Jesus into their heart but the Jews are supposively chosen so I'm not sure what they have to do.

No I dont believe that for a second The Jewish are God's chosen people. I know you dont believe in Christ, but within the Trinity is God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Which are one and the same. You already believe in and follow God.So in a way you believe in Jesus too.

Most Protestants believe that those who do not accept Jesus go to Hell. This means that good people who are not believers will go to Hell
Most Catholics believe that those who are good people will not go to Hell. They don't necessarily believe that they will be allowed into Heaven now -- but may be let in after the return of Jesus.

I'm a Christian.
It says in the Bible that the sins of the father are visited o the children or something like that which basically means that the children will bear the weight of the father's crime.
But no, I do not believe & do not wish any Jew to go to hell.
I haven't met or known any Christian who wishes that either.
