Am I going to go to hell?
kahaneloyalist:
Gehenim is temporary for Jews, even bad Jews. For Goyim especially those who harm the Jewish people, or fight against the Torah, they can go to places worse then Gehenem, and yes it can be eternal. So Hitler will be suffering forever in agony we could never imagine, as he, and all the enemies of the Jewish people deserve.
If a Goy is righteous they will also have a place in the world to come.

Do the Goyim go to either heaven or hell for eternity without going to the other, or do they have a cleansing process just like the Jews have. I know they have the temporary place after death where they have to just wait.
Shlomo:
no such thing as hell in Judaism... there's the temporary place (Gehenem) like you said where your soul is purified so that it can be with G-d. This includes gentiles. Not everyone has to go to Gehenem. And YES, righteous gentiles are guaranteed a place in the world to come. A righteous gentile is one who follows the Noahide laws (the laws Noah followed and G-d considered him a righteous man).
The seven laws (commonly rendered as Sheva Mitzvot Shel Bnei Noach) are:
1. Do not worship false gods.
2. Do not murder. (murder is not self-defense)
3. Do not steal (or kidnap).
4. Do not be sexually immoral (forbidden sexual acts are traditionally interpreted to include incest, bestiality, MALE HOMOSEXUAL sex acts, and adultery.)
5. Do not "bless God" euphemistically referring to blasphemy.
6. Do not eat any flesh that was torn from the body of a living animal (given to Noah and traditionally interpreted as a prohibition of cruelty towards animals)
7. Set up a system of honest, effective courts, police and laws.

Rhuan:
Just out of interest, can you give any quote from the torah to back up this idea of there being no such thing as hell?
Shlomo:
That's kind of a rhetorical question.
If it doesn't talk about it... then how can I show you how there's no such thing? It's kind of like asking where in the Bible does it say there aren't any UFOs like on Aliens.
I'm not trying to be rude... just don't know how else to explain that.
