Jerry Falwell offers a gracious correction fo the Jerusalem Post, which reported the following:

“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. 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 have a special relationship to God through the revelation at Sinai and therefore do not need ‘to go through Christ or the Cross’ to get to heaven.”

Falwell says it’s not true.

Sorry, Roxy, but since you’ve turned away your savior, the one true messiah, our lord Jesus Christ, it’s no heaven for you. Enjoy the first circle of hell. Sadly, I won’t be joining you–I’m being sent to either the second circle (for the carnal and lustful) or the ninth (“treacherous to country, political party, lords or superiors”). Come on, lucky number nine!
