Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, but this is something I've always thought alot about but I just can't figure out the answer... Maybe someone here would know?

Ok so.. Are Jews going to be in Heaven? And by "Jews" I mean any Jewish person that lived after Christ was resurrected until now.. The ones that were killed in the concentration camps, the ones that lived during the 1700s, the ones that are alive today, etc. The only reasonable explanation that I can configure is that they will not be in heaven because they have rejected their Messiah... BUT they are God's chosen people and it has always been God's will for the Jews to be called back to Him. But is that only including the select few that will happen to be alive during the Tribulation? What about the ones that have died, yet they were really good "Jewish people" that believed in God Jehovah???

The Jews that have not accepted Jesus and filled with the Holy Spirit will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. That goes for all the past, present and future Jews as well as for the Gentiles.
Hope that helped answer your question

totally agree. There is a wonderful organization called Jews For Jesus. You might want to check them out. They have information for non-believing Jews pointing them to Jesus.

No one enters the kingdom of Heaven except through Jesus. They are His chosen people but they still need to choose Him .

Without Christ ALL are lost in thier sin. The biggest thing that the devil does is deception. If he can get you to beleive you are right and alot of time the biggest trick is religion he can get you in hell. The old beleif that anyone who beleives in God will go to heaven' or I am a good person. Thats all he cares about.

The Jews are still praticing the Old Testament Law as thier religion. They have rejected the Messiah thus paving the way for the AC who is coming on the sence one day. The will accept him as the false Jesus.

The fight is not with man but between Jesus and Satan. It goes way back in eternity past.

All those who do not choose Christ, Jew, Gentile, black, white, whatever......will not be in heaven.

Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life and that no one comes to the Father except thru Him.

I paraphrased the above scripture, but that's what God the Son stated. Not my words, but His.

We need to keep in mind that since Christ came, there is no longer any difference between Jew and Gentile as far as our salvation is concerned. Eph. 2 tells us:
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

Having said that, though, God does still have a plan for the nation of Israel. We read that when Christ comes back to earth, Israel will finally accept Christ as their Messiah, and their nation will be saved. Rom. 11 tells us (referring to Israel):
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Hope this helps! :):

Moses was a Jew. Elijah was a Jew. Abraham was a Jew. How did they get into heaven? Or are they not in heaven?

Hey guys!

1Jo 2:23 Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: but he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also].

Someone cannot be a good Jew and believe in God, and still deny the Son of God. Sort of like an oxymoron. There has never been a faithful jew (or gentile) that has rejected the Son of God. If you want to know if a Jew is headed to the kingdom or if he loves God simply ask him about the Son.

God bless!

the original question was about after Jesus came to earth ... those before are with God according to their faith in God ... David, Moses, Elijah, and Abraham ...

Thank you for your posting. This question also came up last night, in conversation with friends.

by a jew not accepting Jesus they are denying God since Jesus is God...Lets not equate the religion with the race, also dont forget that most of the earliest Christians were Jewish.

While most Christians are Gentiles now, the primary purpose of the Trib is to get the non-Christian Jews to acknowledge there error 2000 years ago.

God has always saved out a remnant of faithful Israel throughout the diaspora.

The Jews who come to Christ throughout the ages will receive a double blessing...those promised to Israel (Abramic Covenant) & those promised to the Church.
