Can Jewish people go to heaven or do they have to go to hell?

Question

I saw in the movie Stolen Summer that he said jewish ppl can go to heaven but I don't know if it's true?? do u know??

Answer 1

yes, jesus was actually jewish and quite frankly it all depends on the way a person has lived his or her life.

"Every human being, from Adam, will go to eternal Heaven or to eternal Hell, after death... rejoicing every minute for an eternity in Heaven, or continually suffering eternally in Hell. Eternally with God, or eternally with Satan!. "

"You will go eternally to Heaven or to Hell, no matter if you are a Christian or a JEW or a Muslim or a Hindu or a Buddhist... believe it or not, like it or not, it is a fact!... each Christian or Muslim or JEW born today will go forever to Heaven or to Hell after the only one life he will have on earth. "

Jews do believe in eternal Heaven and they can get there.

Some of you people posting answers to this question think that Jews are not people, but they are and they are some of the most kind hearted people i have met in my life. You need to open your eyes, stop being so judgemental and take a step out into the real world.

Answer 2

God judge People over their deeds, good as bad.
People of the Book, are Jews, Christian and Muslims, and because they are Believers in God, they do have more chances to be forgiven by God.
Sure, that Jewish People can go to the Heaven, it depends on their deeds, as well as, for Christians and Muslims.
God is Fair.

Thank You for your question. I don't profess to know the whole Truth, only what has been revealed to me by the Holy Scriptures...and the Scriptures tell us that only through faith in the person and works of Jesus brings salvation. If a Jew believes in Christ as the Messiah, then yes, the scripture is clear--that jew will indeed go to heaven. But because God first chose the Jews for His redemption and they rejected Him, they along with all the Gentiles who reject Christ will be denied Heaven. As for Jews born and died before Christ, if they were faithful to God and not to man-made laws (like the Pharisees and Sauducees), they certainly would go to heaven. Prime examples are Joseph of Arimethea, David, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Aaron...and many others...

Answer 4

Jewish people like all other people can only get to heaven one way and that is through Jesus. This is why He said "I am the way the truth and the life, NO man comes to the Father except through me". Another passage which confirms there is only one way to heaven," neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given to man whereby you must be saved" only through Christ. Sounds pretty exclusive, well it is, God said "He is willing that none should perish" that is why He sent His Son Christ to die in our place at Calvary. We have to have the faith to believe that He is the Savior of the world and can save us from our sins.When we accept Him and repent we are told we will spend eternity with Him in heaven! guaranteed! Many Jews today have turned to Christ and recognize Him as the Messiah and become saved.

Answer 5

Jewish people can go to either heaven or hell. It all depends on how they live their lives and if they obey God's commandments

Answer 6

Sorry for the cut and paste but the following clearly states the Jewish beliefs about the afterlife. I believe this just as strongly as Christians believe in their concept of the afterlife. Who is to say who is right and who is wrong?

Judaism does have a concept of reward and punishment in the afterlife. However, since words we use bring to mind certain images, particularly “Heaven” and “Hell,” it is better to use the Jewish terminology which comes without the baggage. When someone dies, the disembodied soul leaves this sensory world and enters “Gan Eden,” the spiritual Garden of Eden (a.k.a. “Heaven”). In the Garden of Eden, the soul enjoys the “rays of the Divine Presence,” a purely spiritual enjoyment dependent on the Torah learning and good deeds done while in a body. Every year on the yahrtzeit, the day of passing, the soul ascends to another level closer to G-d. This gives it tremendous pleasure. In order to restore the level of purity the soul had possessed before entering the physical world, it must undergo a degree of refinement commensurate to the degree which the body may have indulged itself. Before entering the Garden of Eden, though, every soul must be refined, for it cannot enjoy the Divine Presence to the fullest degree with the pleasures and coarseness of our physical world still engraved on it. These would give the soul poor “reception” of divine radiance, and must be removed. In order to restore the level of purity the soul had possessed before entering the physical world, it must undergo a degree of refinement commensurate to the degree which the body may have indulged itself. If a person sinned in this lifetime, as most of us do, then, to continue the radio analogy, we have serious interference. This means there is even more cleaning to be done. This cleaning process hurts, but is a spiritual and mental process designed not for retribution, but to allow one to truly enjoy his/her reward in Gan Eden. This cleaning process is called “Gehinom,” or, in the vernacular, “Hell.”

Answer 7

Ok the idea of hell is less than a Milena old (it was created by man, sorta like everything else relating to god). I'm pretty sure Jews have been around far longer than the delusion of hell.

Answer 8

Seriously? you are asking the question? wow you must be christian! You are very closed mined as most of the the christian faith is, but yes Jew can go to heaven, child you really need to open your mind and live around another faith cause there are better ones out there than Christianity!

Answer 9

The Way to Heaven is open to ALL... All who come to God in The Way He prescribes will receive His free gift of Salvation and enter Heaven... But it must be in The Way God prescribes... not man invented "religion" and "tradition"... or any of the new age crap.... it is not a do-it-yourself deal

Answer 10

Receiving salvation has nothing to do with race, nationality, gender, etc. Of course Jews can go to heaven. I am a conservative Christian and believe in the atoning work of Jesus of Nazareth. Anyone who believes in Him is saved. However, that does not limit God whose ways are not ours and whose mind is greater than ours. Jesus is the only source of salvation we know of. There may be others hidden in the mind of God. But why reject the one way He has given us? Go with Jesus.
