It's official: Jews can get to heaven...
Thank God...I was worried.
An evangelical pastor and an Orthodox rabbi, both from Texas, have apparently persuaded leading Baptist preacher Jerry Falwell that Jews can get to heaven without being converted to Christianity.Of course, Hell is not so bad...at least since the Jews put in air-conditioning.
Televangelist John Hagee and Rabbi Aryeh Scheinberg, whose Cornerstone Church and Rodfei Sholom congregations are based in San Antonio, told The Jerusalem Post that Falwell had adopted Hagee's innovative belief in what Christians refer to as "dual covenant" theology.
This creed, which runs counter to mainstream evangelism, maintains that the Jewish people has a special relationship to God through the revelation at Sinai and therefore does not need "to go through Christ or the Cross" to get to heaven.

If Falwell can agree with that, then he has no grounds for opposing gay people on the basis of a few disputed Bible verses. After all, Jesus himself said very plainly, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except by me." Once you say that Christ is not necessary for salvation, then you have left Christianity totally.
