Christians.
Some scholars believe Paul created his own covenant and sacrificed his life to preserve the covenant with the Jews.
The Dual covenant theory proves this theory Correct.
If the Jews have a seperate covenant within the covenant then Jesus is NOT only way.

The Old Testament has a different covenant, you will see that
the Old Jews had ways to ATONE for sins for one year, but NO ONE was able to obey the whole law, and therefore could not be forgiven, and get into heaven with a Holy god who could not look on sin.
Therefore, God gave the SECOND covenant, which CLEANSES sin, not just atones it for one year.
Read Leviticus, you will see that NO ONE was worthy.

I thought that Jews did not believe in an after life. Further, I have a hard time imagining that a loving and just God would condemn good people simply for not believing in his son as God. Perhaps, as I heard suggested on EWTN once, those who die not accepting Christ are won over after death. I don't know. I'd like to know more about this "dual covenant" you speak of as it sounds quite interesting. Perhaps that is one way that those who do not believe in Christ do get to paradise. I don't know.

First just because someone say that they have a way other then JESUS to get to heaven, does it make it true? It is like if I say if I was the president of New Jersey, Does that mean I am the president of New Jersey?
The answer to both question is a big no.
Just becuase someone said it does not make it true.

to Jews who is Holy and walks in the Righteous Path of the Lord,the Lord Knows his,they are His: but for the unbeliever and still walks in the path of man and their own deeds not unless they left their pride and accept the way to the Father the mission of the Lord will not being worthless to them" in the time of Moses those jews did not obey to the commandmends of God was being punish right there in the wilderness. 'now lets say for example in 100 of jews the chosen who recieves promise of a covenant is only 30 then what will happen to the rest? thats why Jesus was sent for whoever believes in him and accept him and be baptist will be saved'and walk with his teachings about the gospel and practice it in life with faith and works to be a righteous and holy in the sight of the Father" and also us Gentiles before outsiders now a door was given to us, to enter" and he is our Lord Christ and if we believe in him and accept him to be our Lord and be Baptized will be Saved. lots of people know that why cant you and the bad jews?
