I was just reading a webpage which quoted Howard Stern (Jewish) at the funeral for Joan Rivers (Jewish), mentioning deceased Gentile Johnny Carson:
"Joan is somewhere chasing Johnny Carson with a baseball bat," a reference to the long-running and never-resolved feud between the two show business legends.
In grade school my Jewish buddy asked me, "Do you Christians really think we Jews go to Hell?"
I was hesitant to answer, but I knew that our church stressed that "the only way to the Father is through the Son," so I told him that any Jew who hears the Gospel message and rejects it is headed to Hell.
He was disgusted by my answer, but I felt like I had given him The Truth as I understood it at the time. (It wasn't many years after that when I rejected all religions.)
Does it work the other way? Do Jews think Christians blew their chance to get to Heaven by worshiping the man Jesus as if he were a deity? Do Jews believe there is a Hell waiting for non-Jews?
