Fellow Christians- do Jews go to heaven?

Since Jesus and all the apostles were Jewish, we know that at least some Jews have made heaven. We also know that Moses and Elijah were saved, because they counseled Jesus at the Transfiguration.

However, being a conventional, ethnic Jew is not going to lead to salvation. John the Baptist made that quite clear. From Matt 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

In between, God will consider when Jews know about their Messiah. The more they know, the harsher they will be judged if they reject baptism, repentance, believing Jesus' teachings, moral rectitude, charity, eating the bread of life, and enduring to the end.

Cheers,

The New Testament implies that the Old Testament saints (all Jews) were held in a place called "Paradise" or "the Bosom of Abraham". This place is a bit of a mystery, but it would seem from what I have studied, is that the OT Jews that were faithful (as Abraham's faith was counted by God as righteousness) were held in a place (also spoken of as "captivity"). Until Jesus came along to fulfill the prophecies of old. Now, logically, if Paradise/Abraham's Bosom/Captivity all exist outside of our temporal sphere of existence and inside the Almighty's eternal scope of existence with neither beginning, end, or time for that matter...why would the OT saints have to wait? I say they didn't wait. As each saint passed from earthly life to eternal life, they were translated across any number of earth years to the point at which Jesus was crucified to death. There (in earth chronology) He intersected eternity and presented Himself to each OT saint (Jew with faith). Of course being faithful and knowing the voice of their God, they received the gospel of Christ and were ushered into the Father's House/Kingdom of God/Heaven. Of course I may have this all wrong, but it is the best I can offer as an answer. All Jews are not faithful just as all CHristians are not faithful. The Father, alone, knows the heart of a man and makes His righteous judgment.

Peace.

God never reneges on a Covenant (testament/contract). Why do you believe in a God that condemns the vast majority of his children to eternal torment? Strange. Very strange.

Judaism is not an exclusive religion. Judaism is about repairing relationships (atonement of sin) here on earth. We don't focus on the afterlife because NO ONE has ever returned to tell us what happens there.

Salammy expensive Layla. Sorry I ought to allow you comprehend in line with Islam.In 2:sixty two and likewise in 5:sixty 9 The persons who have faith (iman or faith only 6 pillars ) in Allah the only one God without best buddy,in prophets consisting of Muhammad pbuh,in angels ,in holy books consisting of the Qur'an,interior the existence after loss of existence(akherat) and interior the taqdir (allah's very final decision), and do incredible deeds it ability that the jews and christians switched over to Islam,so they're going to enter heaven.yet jews and christians of this era who have faith of their fake holy books and have faith that Allah (God) has son,they gained't enter heaven. in the event that they nevertheless have faith in those until died they're going to pass to hell.i do no longer insult them because of the fact it grow to be spoken by Allah interior the Qur'an.

Some will. Look at the list of the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11. These died not yet having received the promises.

Numbers23:10 - 'Death'[sleep the sleep of death-Ps] is a blessing upon the children of Israel[See also Lk16:19-31 for diff of 'death' & 'hell']. They[the whole house of Jacob] will be raised out of death for the glory of God[Jer51:20-23] as shown in Ezekial37.

Jesus did and he was 100% Jewish

Yes, that is the teaching of the original Christian Church, to which Jesus Christ promised, "The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth", and "Whatsoever you bind upon Earth is bound in Heaven", and "He who hears you hears Me".

Agreed!!

Try reading the bible, the only people going to heaven are the tribes of Israel.

When was "christian" a tribe of Israel?
