Mr Rayon Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 Just something I heard somewhere and am curious about.
ajb Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 Don't Jews believe, that as God's chosen people (a very pompous and xenophobic belief) that only Jews will go to heaven?
TonyMcC Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 I didn't know, but found this link, http://sagavyah.tripod.com/id7.html, which says Jews believe Non Jews can go to heaven.
jackson33 Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 As in any of today's practiced religions there are different beliefs with in the general scope. To my limited knowledge, few believe or express a heaven, believing in the Traditional Jewish belief (The resurrection) that a Messiah (rejected Jesus as such) will come to earth (some say before 2240 AD) setting off a long period of world peace and harmony, that people of all faiths will turn to the Jewish for guidance. It's my understanding, the "chosen" was not meant for the people of earth, rather to those that will carry the message. I'd say the Jewish, as do many other religions, believe actions in life will determine whether your one that is resurrected or whose soul has gone on to heaven, which would include Muslims.
