If Jews can go to heaven without accepting Jesus as their personal Saviour then JESUS is not the ONLY way ?

Answer 1

This isn't a question ... but it is a good observation.

But you're correct... There are so many of these contradictions in the christian dogma(s) that it'll make your head spin just to list them all...

(LOL ...and look. Now here's a group saying it isn't true. Another bunch will swear that it is. It's all nonsense. LOL)

Answer 2

They DON'T NOW...

Acts 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly. “We had to speak God’s word to you first,” they said. “But you don’t accept it. You don’t think you are good enough for eternal life. So now we are turning to those who aren’t Jews. 47 This is what the Lord has commanded us to do. He said, “‘I have made you a light for those who aren’t Jews. You will bring salvation to the whole earth.’” 48 When the non-Jews heard this, they were glad. They honored the word of the Lord. All who were appointed for eternal life believed.

Jesus said he didn’t come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. (Matt 5:17) The effect was the same. Once fulfilled it was no longer in effect.

The very next verse, Matthew 5:18, LOOKS FORWARD to the time when the law WOULD BE SET ASIDE. "...Not even the smallest stroke of a pen will disappear from the Law UNTIL EVERYTHING IS COMPLETED." This “UNTIL” clause REINFORCES THE TEMPORARY NATURE OF THE LAW. It ONLY makes sense when we understand that it was intended FROM THE BEGINNING to be SET ASIDE.

On the cross, Jesus' last recorded saying, "It is finished," is an important milestone. Because of Jesus life, Satan had been defeated. The law was finished and would no longer stand between God and mankind.

Galatians 2:16 ...No one can be made right with God by obeying the law.

Galatians 2:21 ...What if a person could become right with God by obeying the law? Then Christ died for nothing!

Romans 3:20 So it can’t be said that anyone will be made right with God by obeying the law. Not at all! The law makes us more aware of our sin. 21 But now God has shown us how to become right with him. The Law and the Prophets give witness to this. It has nothing to do with obeying the law.

Galatians 5:4 Some of you are trying to be made right with God by obeying the law. You have been separated from Christ. You have fallen away from God’s grace... The ONLY verse that talks about falling from grace, and they did it by trying to follow the law!

Ephesians 2:15 Through his body on the cross, Christ put an END to the LAW WITH ALL ITS COMMANDS AND RULES. He wanted to create one new group of people out of the two. He wanted to make peace between them.

Colossians 2:14 He wiped out the written Law with its rules. The Law was against us. It opposed us. He took it away and nailed it to the cross.

Answer 3

Jesus is not the ONLY way, but He is the most assured way. Jesus represents a new covenant with mankind on how we are to be judged. Under the old system, it was our obedience to the law that determined our fate. That is the system that the Jews have chosen to accept. Jesus attempted to show the teachers of his day that it was impossible to follow every letter of the law. But our acceptance into heaven is by God's Grace. If God lets us in, then it is by his will.

However, Jesus was offered as a sacrifice for our inadequacies. If we adhere to the will of God by following the path of Christ then we are assured a place in heaven on the day of judgment. There are a few conditions (rependtence, forgiveness, and a clean spirit. baptism by water and the spirit, and that sort of thing) but essentially Jesus is an assured way in.

So saying Jesus is the only way into heaven is sort of like saying that Disney World is the only place to go on vacation. Not literally true, but certainly a sure bet if you take that path.

Answer 4

Well here's a Jewish opinion...
Believing in Jesus is not a way to 'heaven' (whatever 'heaven' is).

For Jews the way to 'heaven' is mainly through being a decent person and following the 613 commandments given to Jews to the best of one's capacity.
For non-Jews, being a decent person is also important and key is keeping the 7 laws of Noah which are similar in some ways to the 10 Commandments. (For a brief listing of these see http://www.bnainoah.net/seven.htm )

I'm glad in Judaism we don't believe that it's Judaism or the highway!

Answer 5

Who said that Jews can go to heaven.

Accepting jesus as your savior involves accepting the teachings of Jesus as being correct. If Jews do this then they are following Christ (not realizing that that makes the Christians by definition ) and they can be saved.

Answer 6

Whoever said that Jews were going to Heaven? It plainly says in the Bible that Jesus is "The Truth, The Way and The Light." There is no other way then accepting Jesus. Man can not reach Heaven on his works alone. You are severly misguided.

Answer 7

Jesus is THE only way, but each generation God saves a remnant of people who are of Jewish descent, just like He did before Jesus came. The Christian church is made up of people from all nations.

Colossians 3:11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.

Romans 11:1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? 3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life." 4 But what is God's reply to him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal." 5 So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.

Answer 8

Getting your facts wrong isn't good. Read your other answers and you will see that there is only one way. Jesus. Now everyone gets to go before him and be judged. So if you think that is how you get in then you are on the edge. However be ready for the drop. Jesus is the way, the only way. Sorry if we don't see eye to eye. I didn't write the book.

Answer 9

God made available himself, enfleshed as Jesus, to later be crucified as a living sacrifice, offering salvation to Gentiles. Jews achieve the same result today by going through their ritual at their Tabernacle, but shed the blood of a spotless lamb as their sacrifice. Jews can accept Jesus, but their holy book Torah does not recognize Jesus as the Messiah at all, in place of the sacrificial spotless lamb of the Jewish faith.

Answer 10

When Peter preached to the crowds, they were all Jewish. No Gentiles were present, and yet, this is what he had to say to them: "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift." (Acts 2:38)

He also told the Sanhedrin this: "There is no salvation by anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven given among people by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)

Jesus is the only way. Period. He said it, not me. I just agree with Him.

Answer 11

My friend, you should stop going off of things you've heard and read the Bible for yourself. Jews must and eventually will accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. There are Jews today who know Jesus is Messiah.
