Jews Go to Heaven Without Jesus?
Response to comment [from a Jew]: "Why are you so hung up on us Jews? We don't care at all whether you think we will get to your Christian heaven or not."
Jesus said: Before Abraham was, I am (not I am he).
Jn 8:58 Of course Jews can go to heaven (Jn
14:21).
The pope said: "We are Abraham's descendants..." Notice he left out Isaac and
Jacob?

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Why is it everyone takes that scripture out of context, as if HaShem is "grace-less"? Noah found grace in His eyes, for one. Grace is part of His nature, part of the foundation..."
For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either. Therefore, consider God’s kindness and severity: severity toward those who have fallen but God’s kindness toward you—if you remain in His kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off (Ro 11:21–22).

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Do try and make a point that is relevant to the discussion."
This is why we need the rapture (2 Ki 2:23, HCSB).
Response to comment [from a Jew]: "Yes. There is something unsettling about people constantly looking at you, in particular, and discussing whether you are damned or not in their view....And yes, the unpleasant history we have had with Christians contributes to my feeling of unease about this."
Believe the orthodox Jews (Gen. 36:9). They know who not to trust (Ob 11).
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses are with the Father right now."
They brought the sacrifice (Ge 37:31, Mt 27:25, Rom. 11:25, Lk 23:34).
Response to comment [from a Christian]: [2 Corinthians 5:16-17 KJV]
"2 Co 5:16-17 new creation. This describes something that is created at a qualitatively new level of excellence. It refers to regeneration or the new birth (cf. John 3:3; Eph. 2:1–3; Titus 3:5; 1 Pet. 1:23; 1 John 2:29; 3:9; 5:4). This expression encompasses the Christian’s forgiveness of sins paid for in Christ’s substitutionary death (cf. Gal. 6:15; Eph. 4:24). old things have passed away. After a person is regenerate, old value systems, priorities, beliefs, loves, and plans are gone. Evil and sin are still present, but the believer sees them in a new perspective (see note on v. 16), and they no longer control him. all things … new. The Gr. grammar indicates that this newness is a continuing condition of fact. The believer’s new spiritual perception of everything is a constant reality for him, and he now lives for eternity, not temporal things. James identifies this transformation as the faith that produces works (see notes on Eph. 2:10; James 2:14–26)." MacArthur, J., Jr. (Ed.). (1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed., p. 1771).

"Not all will sleep (1 Cor. 15:51; 1 Thess. 4:15, 17), dead in Christ will rise (1 Cor. 15:52; 1 Thess. 4:13, 14, 16), living to be transformed (1 Cor. 15:51–53), saints caught up (1 Thess. 4:16, 17).

Devout Jews live as best they can (1 Co 3:17). They also look for the truth (Jn 4:23). Moses and Elijah will clarify all soon (Mt 24:14).
Response to comment [from other]: "I think your forgetting the fact that no one comes to Christ...even if he wants to... Unless God the Father CALLS him. John 6:44"
That's right. Men are not judged for what they don't know. They are judged for what they know (Jn 9:39–41). Your ancestry does not get you into heaven (Matt. 3:9, 10). Men have always been saved the same way--by grace through faith (Eph 2:8). Love God perfectly and you'll be good to go (Mt 22:37).
Response to comment [from other]: "Jews don't want to go to your Heaven..."
Separate heavens? His blood covers us--Jew and gentile alike (Lev. 17:10–14). What the Jews said disparagingly, he applied to them (Ge 37:33, Mt 27:25). Otherwise they would not exist (Mic. 7:18, Is. 37:31–33). God has always had a remnant (Jer. 23:3–8; Rom. 9:27). Your welcome (Ge 12:3, Mic. 5:7, 8).
