Judeo - Christian relativism

[Servant19]

In the other thread which has now reached its 100 post mark, a very interesting post was made by dskysmine:

I understand that for you it is hard to understand how Salvation could come from Christ, if you believe that the old Patriarchs are holy people and “should” have been saved already before.
The fact is that the Jewish Faith sentenced all living people to the Sheol (which according to Jewish is cut off from God) and the description of Jesus going to the Sheol to save the Patriarchs of old, does show that Jesus opened the Doors of Heavens for us.

But at least you all have to agree that Jesus (and His disciples) did make a significant part of their ministry that all peoples of the Earth be brought the “Good News”. Moses came to bring the Law to his people. Jesus brought Grace for the whole world.

God bless,

I was wondering if the Jewish brothers and sisters could provide some insights into this and we can continue to explore this fascinating area of discussion

God bless all the contributors and readers

It’s explained very well in the New Testament which was written entirely by Jews.

Jewish beliefs about the whole question of an afterlife are pretty vague really, that there’s an existence after death is generally accepted but there’s little in the Tanakh about it - here’s Judaism 101 on the subject.

Original beliefs do seem to parallel the beliefs of places like Sumer - existence in a world of ‘shades’ - which one would rather expect.

Very interesting. Thanks for the 101…
