the way to heaven is through belief that jesus christ is your savior. however, the jews were the chosen people of god... does that mean they will not go to heaven? and since the word of god is eternal, how can the not be accepted into heaven even after jesus christ? and being omniscient, i'm sure he would have seen it coming that they condemn his 'son' and reject his teachings.

Good grief. Why in the world do people still think that Jews had anything to do with Jesus' death?? Jews didn't have any influence on the Roman government under whos authority they lived. There wasn't any festival or tradition that let one prisoner go over another... like the Roman government would let the happen anyway. Furthermore, Jesus wasn't accepted as the messiah because he didn't meet the criteria set forth by Jewish law to be considered the messiah.. if Jews accepted Jesus they would be breaking their own laws to do so.
They didn't reject his teachings persae, he had a lot of pretty decent things to say, IMO, but he simiply wasn't the messiah and was rejected as one.
All this anti-semetic stuff was writen to fuel the hate between the new budding Christian religion and the Jews. Isn't it time to stop spreading the lies?

you're talking about BEFORE Jesus was born. Jesus himself was jewish before he learned of his place on Earth. Many jews rejected Jesus and this is how Judaism got passed down to other generations. No one can say who is or isn't going to Heaven though. I don't really have an opinion because I can't know

The Bible is clear on the fate of those who reject Christ; Jews or Gentiles. Even Jesus Himself said it.

Are you referring to the Jews of Yester or today or to the jews in the near future. You did not state in your question.
The Israeletes were the chosen people at the time of Moses. The Jews at the time of Jesus but they did not believe him instead they nailed him to the cross so God have punished them.

All Israel will be saved, meaning all who are in Christ. Not all who are of Israel are Israel. There is only one way to the Father and that is through Jesus Christ.

Read another Book.
There are many that were rejected by the people that put together the book known as "the bible" that contain many answers that you, and others here would find illuminating.
