Do the Jews Believe in Jesus Christ, and if not will they go to hell?

Question

Do Jews believe in Jesus, and if not does that mean "God's Chosen People" will go to hell, because Jesus said no one will enter the kingdom of heaven except through Him?

By the way, I'm not being a smart *** or condeming the Jewish faith. Just curious.

Answer 1

No, the Jews do not believe in Jesus as their Messiah.

The Jews also do not believe that they will go to hell for lacking this belief. They have a mirad of reasons - including history and the true Messianic prophecies on their side.

When God made the covenant with the Jews he said that it was unchanging, that it would be there for them forever. It would never be voided. And also that a human could fulfill the Law, it was not outside of their power (Deut 31). So the Christian claim that this is impossible is invalid. Read the description of John the Baptist's parents in Luke to see just how impossible this really is.

The chosen people will not go to hell. They are still under their covenant with God. There is no new covenant - no blood sacrifce was needed to give them access to God as Christians claimed. They already had a direct line - and in fact could only be forgiven of intentional sins if they asked God directly.

For a Jew - Jesus was a prophet (some say marginal, other say important) that really didn't accomplish anything new.

Answer 2

You could visit every single synagogue on the planet and you would NEVER hear Jesus mentioned. Not even once. He does not feature in our religion. We do not view him as a prophet, or son of G-d, or G-d or anything divine. For us he was just a young Jewish radical - personally I think he started what today we call Reform Judaism. For Jews it is FORBIDDEN to worship any human. For Jews it is FORBIDDEN to worship any human as being G-d in the flesh. For Jews it is BLASPHEMY to state that G-d would ever take human form. What many if not most Christians just can't seem to appreciate is that the actual idea of 'messiah' is a JEWISH concept. But our 'messiah' will not be a 'saviour' because as Jews we don't need saving - we don't believe in original sin and we don't believe that anyone is ever condemned to eternal hell! No Jew can embrace either Jesus or ANY OTHER HUMAN as being G-d incarnate. Christianity has taken the Torah, MIStranslated it, REinterpreted it, and now has the sheer arrogance to tell Jews that WE don't understand OUR OWN SCRIPTURES. Jews use the accurate translation of the original Hebrew - that's how we KNOW that Jesus is not mentioned in the Tanakh. Not even once. Hope that has clarified it :)

Answer 3

The Jews are God's chosen people. He loves them above all. They believe in Christ, BUT they believe that He hasn't come to earth to save them yet. They believe that the man that we call Jesus lived & walked the earth but he wasn't the Messiah. It says in the Bible that God closed the Jews eyes to the Messiah so that the Gentiles (Christians) could be saved. And that He will open their eyes towards the end of times & they will greive as if they had lost their first born. This is a gift from God to the Christians. If it weren't for the Jews, Christians would not be here.
So, yes, Jews beleive in the Messiah, they just don't know it yet!

Answer 4

This all depends on what your religion is. Christian people believe that Jesus is the son of God. Jewish people believe that Jesus wasn't God's son, but was a great Prophet.
So, because of this, If you are Christian, you more than likely will believe that Jews are going to hell, since they don't believe that Jesus is the son of God. If you are Jewish, you more than likely believe that if you are a good person in life, and you believe and worship God, then you will go to heaven.
Hope this answered your question.

Answer 5

The history is, is that Jesus Christ did live and he did die. The Jewish faith recognizes that Jesus was not the savior that was foretold, but a prophet. That's the difference between that faith and the Chrisitan faith. Christian's believe that he is / was the messiah.
Jesus believes in the good of all men. Even at his death, he prayed for the rabbi(s) that pushed for his death... 'Forgive them for they know not what they do'. God's chosen people will be forgiven.

Answer 6

There are Jews who are still waiting for the Messiah to come, obviously do not believe Jesus is who He said He was and therefore do not believe in salvation. But there are more and more Messianic Jews who do believe and are christians. Doesn't matter if you are Jew or gentile (non-Jew), if you do not believe and follow Jesus, you will not enter Heaven. There's a reason Jesus is called in the Bible, "The WAY, the Truth and the Life"

Answer 7

As far as Jews are concerned Jesus did not fulfill the promise of the Christ they were promised--Christ was supposed to bring world peace--as Jesus didn't fulfill that prophesy--Jews are still waiting for the REAL Christ to rock up.Oh---& Jews don't believe in Hell--just a separation from God.

Answer 8

No one needs to worry who goes to Hell or Heaven b/c it is non of your concern, that is only between God and that person, so don't worry about it. And lots of people will go to Heaven even though they don't believe in Jesus.

Answer 9

Brother Paul said that the gentiles were save through the Hebrew faith for our ignorance and the Hebrews were saved through our faith, in Jesus Christ, for their unbelief. Something along these lines for exact words read his teaching in the next testament they are worth the time.

Answer 10

Yes Jews have to be saved the same way everyone else does, so unless they accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior they will not make heaven.
