Answer

Christian denominations would not agree on a single answer to this question.
Some denominations, such as Baptists and Pentecostal churches, base their position on biblical passages such as John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but though me." They believe that a person must accept Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Saviour in order to gain eternal life in heaven. This means that, unless a Jew accepts Christ before the moment of death, there is no chance of salvation or heaven. This would also apply to every human being who has heard the Gospel message, including those who were raised in Christian homes: there must be a moment when Jesus is accepted as personal Lord and Saviour.
However, the majority of Christians (Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans, Methodist, Lutherans and Presbyterians), tend to go one of two ways:
(1) It is not necessary to believe in Christ to go to heaven. In fact, there are many paths to heaven and although Christ is unique (being God incarnate) He is not the only path to God. Other holy people such as Buddha, Mohammed and Gandhi were prophets who led people to heaven. Therefore, one does not have to be a Christian to go to heaven.(2) Christ is indeed the only Saviour of the human race, and His death and resurrection have brought salvation and eternal life to everyone - including Jews, Hindus, Muslims and so forth. It is not necessary to accept Jesus personally to be saved - as all were saved 2000 years ago. They believe they are called to realise this and to accept the salvation gained by Christ. However, this does not have to mean an explicit acceptance; acceptance may also be implicit by the way a person lives his/her life. Thus, it is perfectly possible for a non-Christian to enter heaven. This is the view of Catholicism and Orthodoxy.
Answer
In John 3:3, a man named Nicodemus was a ruler of the Jews, and Jesus told him that unless you are born again you cannot see the kingdom of God. The statement "born again" means that God has to see you in a body other than the body of Adam, and when you place your faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, Romans Chapter 6 says we are baptized into the body of Christ. This means that in the eyes of God you are in a body that has never sinned against God in any way and that body died and was buried and raised from the dead and brought into the throne room of God with you in Him. So that is how man is "redeemed." It makes no difference whether you are a Jew or Gentile or any nationality -- without the body of Christ, no man or woman will enter heaven. So anyone who says Christ is not risen in a physical body is still yet in his sins. (First Corinthians 15:17)  

Yes, but that sounds confusing

Yes, Jews do go to hell, as many of them still believe that the Messiah has yet to come, as they don't accept the New Testament or the Son of God, Christ, either. The old testament saints were considered believers for they believed what they were told about the Savior of the world that was to come, as prophesied in Genesis 3:15 (the first time the gospel is mentioned). Christ is also pictured many times by His many, many ancestors, such as Adam (as Christ is the 2nd Adam), and Joseph, and certainly King David, the King of David, father of Solomon, the builder of the temple, and owner of 1000 women.
Regardless, the Jews that die outside of Christ do, regretably, go to hell, but that is why there are going to be a HUGE missionary team that is going to tell all of the Jews and just them about Christ in the end times, for they are God's chosen people.
Jews, even though they are God's people, are not all destined for heaven, for they, as well as the we the Gentiles, non Jews, have to believe in Christ and be born again with a new nature to combat our old one that wants to sin.  

Answer

Jews going to Christian Hell? Definitely not.
Jews (sinners) going to their own Eternal damnation place? Maybe yes.
No, of course not, unless they're sinners. Jewish people that have not sinned have done no wrong, same as Muslims who have not sinned, or buddhists, or whatever members of any religion. That is a very anti-Semistical thing to say.


The Jews of today are not the Jews of the bible. A group of them deviated from their beliefs and rejected their own savior from their prophesies. The Christians are, of course, the Jews who DID follow the teachings and accepted the savior. Therefore, the Jews of today forfeit their birthright just as their ancestors did during Jesus' time. By an extension of their own law yes, the Jews of today will be in hell, as many of the groups of Jews throughout the old testament who continued to deviate from God's word and were punished.


answer

not all Jews are the same. to get to heaven, one must ask for forgiveness and ask god to be their lord and savior. (prayer of salvation) they then build a relationship with god, which i must say is the most glorious and rewarding thing a person can do, and then live their life according to his word. so don't look at the group, look at the person.
