Somebody give me an answer, if a jew rejects the Son, and keeps all the customs of Moses, what happens.
considering what Jesus told Nicodemus, and what all their profets said, and what bout daniels 70 weeks prophecy, where a day is a year, that was executed to perfection down to the last minute, where the priest walks into the holiest of holies in the temple and finds the curtain torn into two, because the messiah is cut off.
the jews, believed that their actions and blood-sacrifices, shall bring them justification, and forgiveness of sin before the lord.
But what really happened, is that the blood of goats, and animals merely "covered" their sin, and jesus was the real sacrifice that "took" away the sin of the world. Now if one continues to cover the sin will they be taken away again, especially if you do not believe.
Read Daniel 9:27 again, and see what Jesus actually did.
"Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. "
So basically what I ask is this, is a jew who does not belive that christ is the son of God, and hence can not be born again. Can he see the kingdom of God.

Ok, seriously, to the original poster, I imagine it depends on who you're asking? If you're asking this question of someone that's Jewish they're gonna say "of course I'll get into heaven".
If you're asking a christian there's a good chance they're gonna say "NO".
Everybody else is going to give you the best answer, which is "I don't know".

Can one enter heaven by one's works, can one live ones complete life without one screw-up. And anyways so you screw up this year, and at the end of that year you go to the temple and do some sacrifice "thing" and all the sins for that year are covered, and you start on a clean sheet. and after a week, you break the "love" commandment, which is literally the easiest to break anyway, but also the most important one. And then you die just after breaking that.
then you basically do not have a clean sheet anymore, and when you come to the judge (being Christ)
"John 5:22 - For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son"
"John 5:30
I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me."
The very one you rejected, what happens??? And from an old testament point of view, did jews really see themselves in heaven, or did they just see today's life as all there is to it.??
Did jews really believe in an after-life??? a reward, just look at moses "I have put before you life and death, choose life so that you and your descendants may live". Live where exactly, "on earth". They never understood the concept of life after death,???
or did they

Let's take a step into the real world for a moment. I'll ask 10 different people if Jews go to heaven. If one of those 10 is Jewish I'll get at least one "yes". Everyone else is going to say "No" or they'll ask a bunch of questions in return. Some will even say there is no heaven so the question is flawed.

I have to confess, even as a Christian I find it very hard to read some of your writing style.
I think my answer to you would be "go read the Letter to the Hebrews". It's very much about demonstrating why the old covenant (or 'testament'😉 was inferior to the new, and I think you'd find it helpful.

Originally posted by zombiesWell, I think the answer is in the bible. Since Jews no longer offer sacrifices of bulls and goats, then they are not cleansed. And furthermore, the sacrifices were once a year, what if one died before the annual sacrifice?

And what about the verse in Romans "all have sinned and fall short..."
Now having said that, I have learned that the believers (Jews) in the OT were saved through faith just like we are. That is, they were saved Looking forward to the Messiah, by faith. We are saved looking back on the Messiah, by faith. So the OT believers were saved by faith. But the ones who rejected the Messiah are not saved.
To simplify matters, consider the following verses...
Rom 4:9-16
9 Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
10 How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also,
12 and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised.
13 For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,
15 because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.
16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

The Jews did do a terrible deed, and most Christians will say no, but ths Jews still believe in what they do and are, and feel truely sorry for themselves about what happened to them in the war with Hitler. I think that they are ressponsible, and Jews are ok if the ask forgiveness for their sins.

Originally posted by kat97This has nothing to do with Hitler, etc. The Jews are forgiven like anyone else, if they confess The Messiah, Jesus Christ as Lord, and accept Him as their substitute for sins.
