Ok just to simplify this The Jewish Religion believes that god has not sent his son yet and they are still waiting for the messiah ...translation They Don't Believe jesus is the son of god...and he did not die for their salvation...re-translation they don't believe Jesus. The question is are jews going to hell under christian terms Why and/or why not

Paul B:
After Jesus died and resurrected there is no more "Jews" nor "gentiles"!
There are only "the born again people" and the "not born again people" but that can become once they accept Jesus as the only Saviour.
There exists only one Christian "law": it is the "law" of LOVE!

Under Christian law (traditions of men), they believe what men tell them, but under God the Father's laws, this is not true. Jesus said I come not to destroy the laws or the prophets but to fulfill, he says nothing about the commandments, except if any man shall break one of These least commandments. (But I say unto you).
All humans are God the Father chosen people, but the Jews were deceived, they believed all that they were told which was false, except those things concerning Jesus. This is why Jesus said "salvation is of the Jews. He came to save the Jews. For Jesus said John 4:21-24. The woman was influenced by the teachings of the Jews, but we know what we worship are those who follow Jesus.
John 3:14-15 him is Moses, (Luke 16:22-(31)). John 3:16 him is Jesus, John 3:17-18 him is all other spiritual leaders.
Jews believe in the eternal, Jesus preahed everlasting, and all others were not condemned if they believe in God, the Father.

Actually, the Bible says that we can only come to God through Jesus. Since we have knowledge of Jesus, these creedal confessions are presumed to be the normative manner in which coming to God through Jesus takes place.
However, logically, most Christians would accept the premise that a Jew who died in the general time-frame of the New Testament and hadn't heard the Gospel of Jesus, would still be reconciled to God through Jesus, under the terms of the Old Covenant. And I would argue that if it was possible then, it is still possible today.
I agree with the majority of Christians in saying that a Jew who *knowingly* makes a *fully informed* decision to reject Jesus, would be throwing away his salvation. But before Christians arrogantly assume that this scenario is the norm among the Jewish people, we need to carefully consider the historical actions of Christians in our relations to Jews, which have run the whole gambit from foolish to murderous. We must consider the possibility that our own failure to properly preach and live by the Gospel has kept many, many Jewish people in the dark as to what the message of Christianity really is, through no fault of their own.

The term Judeo-Christian has been criticized for implying more commonality than actually exists. In The Myth of the Judeo-Christian Tradition, Jewish theologian-novelist Arthur A. Cohen questions the theological appropriateness of the term and suggests that it was essentially an invention of American politics.[1]. It has been suggested that the term obscures fundamental differences between the two religions - Rabbi Eliezer Berkovits writes that "Judaism is Judaism because it rejects Christianity, and Christianity is Christianity because it rejects Judaism"[2] - while erasing continuities between them and other religions, especially other monotheistic faiths. The Slovenian postmodern philosopher Slavoj Žižek has argued in this last point that the term Judeo-Muslim to describe the middle-east culture against the western Christian culture would be more appropriate in these days[3], especially noting the reduced influence from the Jewish culture on the western world due to the historical persecution and exclusion of the Jewish minority. A Judaeo-Christian-Muslim concept thus refers to the three main monotheistic religions that root to the Babylonian civilization, commonly known as the Abrahamic Religions.

Jesus did not invent or create Christianity. It was created by Paul and the apostles, mostly Paul.
Jesus preached and provided some guidelines, Paul created the "Laws" based on his own interpretations with little worry about how it squared with what Jesus taught. These were later codified by the Emperor Constantine to serve his political purposes. Over the centuries Popes and secular rulers contributed to the stagnation of Christianity creating a hierarchy designed to keep them in power.
There were brief attempts ar reform to open it up via protestant and others but for the most part those degenerated in a few years into new stratified hierarchies of their own again designed to maintain those in power.
If Jesus returned today to see what Christianity has become he would probably go from one church to another driving out the "Moneylenders, Money-gathers, idolaters and hypocrites", then start all over again.

Not all jews are going to hell. It is the choice of the individual if they want to follow Christ or not. The fact that the jews are the choosen ones was in the bible which is millions of years old. I don't think that follows the jews into this day and age. I am a Christian, and that's what I believe.

According to Jewish Law, there has to be a sacrifice for sins. One must observe all the Law of Moses. If there are any Jews who have not done the whole Law of Moses, then there is no sacrifice for sin.
So according to their Law, they have their answer.
According to the Law of Faith, one must trust God through HIS sacrifice; the propitiation for sins of the whole world.
The Whole world including the Jews will recognize this fact one day as it has been prophesied.
Isaiah 53
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

Yes, the rules of Christianity are quite plain. Believe in Jesus or go to hell. Its called salvation - most of the answers on here have not grasped this simple theological fact. So this means:
1. all Jews go to Hell unless they apostasise
2. all Muslims go to Hell
3. all Buddhists go to Hell
but
4: Hitler goes to Heaven - he was a Catholic
Point 4 makes some Christians change the rules. So
5: only proper Chrsitians go to Heaven - all other Christians go to Hell
Hey, I didn't make the rules up. Don't look at me.

Jesus died on the cross for the Jews and the Gentiles to be able to ask for forgiveness. If the Jews don't believe this happened then it's their fault.
