Bible Question:
I feel rather ignorant on this. This whole thread is talking about "salvation" as if Jews and Christians have the same idea of that the word means. I see a much clearer picture of "Heaven" in the New Testament than the Old. I know the resurrection of the faithful was a very controversial issue among Jews at the time of Jesus. What, then, is an orthodox Jew's understanding of Heaven, or salvation? |
