Good point! Don't focus on the afterlife, focus on the here and now.

That holds good only if you are sure you have a very long life ahead for you. If you die today and you realize that you haven't prepared for it it would be the greatest tragedy that you can imagine. Only Jesus offers you real hope for an afterlife. Go to Him and secure your eternal life and live a peaceful and purposeful life here below.

Well we pagans have Hell and Heaven and Afterlife Judgement and Good Deeds get one in Heaven. And good deeds on earth brings heaven on earth and sins bad stuff makes hell on earth not just Divine Wrath but natural and normal basic personal consequences. Heaven and Hell have to be the after result of Acts and behavior on earth and your start and the punishment reward is How God(s) Does with people lived and placed for their benefit. The Gods or God Single gain nothin from us it's us Gain all from Them.

@@KM-leons: Actually, you're extremely confused, because you've been LIED to by "Christianity". NOWHERE in the ETERNAL Hebrew scriptures did God ever mention the "Jesus" character to us, NOWHERE did He tell us we need to be "saved", and NOWHERE did He tell us that He requires HUMAN BLOOD (a purely pagan ritual that God ABHORS!) as atonement for our sins! I was born into a nominal Anglican family, then as I got older, learned more about the Bible, and left Anglicanism, and as I continued to learn, moved on to two other denominations of Christianity. Twenty+ YEARS ago, I converted from being a born-again, baptized, Evangelical Baptist Christian, and then a 'Messianic' Christian (for a total of 40+ YEARS), so there's nothing anyone can gaslight me with at this point. I know all about the teachings of both of those false, pagan, man-made religions, which is why I, and thousands of others have left various denominations of "Christianity", when we learned what they actually believe and preach. Ever since leaving Christianity, I have been learning from the Orthodox Rabbis, as commanded by God in Deut. 17:8-11 (in the absence of the Temple, the Rabbis are our spiritual teachers, since they - and ONLY THEY have been studying the original Hebrew scriptures all the way back to Mt. Sinai) and have learned some MAJOR untruths taught by the religion I grew up with. You need to realize, research, and accept, that NO FURTHER SCRIPTURES (i.e. NO "NT") were given to mankind by God AFTER Mt. Sinai, and that the ENTIRETY of the Hebrew scriptures, i.e. TANACH, that consists of the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings (i.e. Psalms, Proverbs, etc.) were given to Moses at Mt. Sinai. Also given to Moses at that time, was the Talmud, which is the explanations and details of the Tanach, without which it is impossible to understand the words given to Moses. Christianity foolishly REJECTS the Talmud, which resulted in their bastardization of God's ETERNAL (i.e. STILL in effect and binding TODAY - a LIVING document!) words, leaving them in profound darkness as to what God ACTUALLY said to us at Mt. Sinai, which resulted in the false, pagan, man-made, blasphemous religion of "Christianity", that preaches AGAINST what God said to us there. PLEASE buy a Hebrew Bible (says "Stone Edition TANACH" on the cover) and Rabbi Tovia Singer's books "Let's Get Biblical - Why Doesn't Judaism Accept the Christian Messiah?", as well as Rabbi Stuart Federow's book "Judaism and Christianity: A Contrast", to help you understand why Christianity absolutely did NOT come from God.

I appreciate your cleverness, Rabbi. It's true that the Torah doesn't go into extensive detail about what is waiting for us in paradise. On the other hand, the Tanakht describes various places in paradise and general ideas of what paradise is like: 1. The Tanakht describes the throne room of God 2. The Tanakht describes the angels in paradise 3. The Tanakht explains how a few of the angels serve God 4. The Torah tells us that God gave Moses the blueprint for the tabernacle 5. The Tanakht also informs us that God gave David the blueprint for Solomon's Temple. In a multitude of counselors, there is safety, but the Lord's secrets are with those that respect THE LORD and study His words.

Who defines good and evil? What is the Point of doing good ,if there is no objective definition of good. Who among us is always good, likewise who has not participated in some form of evil? If there is a standard of good, who set the moral Law? if we do fall short who has pardoned the evil in which we all have done? if goodness is the standard of truth, and truth cannot be compromised otherwise it is not the truth. Then the Truth Must be perfection. Who among us is Perfect other than God. Who sent His Son, God Revealed in Flesh, The Way The Truth and the Life that none Should come to the Father but by Jesus...

No matter how "honest" an Atheist is, he doesn't escape with no consequences for his disbelief in God.

Sinai.

@ChatzkalehKofer 2 жыл бұрын
These answers are clever but ad-hoc. I prefer the explanations from the current biblical scholars: There was no concept of the afterlife that we know today in antiquity. Same for the concept of mosiach. During the Babylonian exile, we took over some concepts from the Zoroastrians and others. The Torah mentions some alternatives: - Going down to Sheol (which is the underworld) - Be buried with your forefathers (being moved to the plot of your forefathers) - Cut off from your people meant being thrown outside of the community / camp, not some mystical concept For more on this topic, see www.thetorah.com/article/no-heaven-or-hell-only-sheol

Because the Torah is an incomplete book of God. Body resurrection, judgement, eternal heaven and hell come in God's later books that you seem to reject using poor logic at that. You share false 'God Complex' that is a modern Jewish invention whereby one is to partner with God in completing His creation. Like God, we are to be good only for goodness's sake by fostering 'spirituality vs 'physicality', otherwise we will not be able to nurture our selfless non physical divinity, a necessary quality of being a God, leading to an ambiguous notion that one day, in the next life, we will be 'God'. Waiting for God's reward is no longer in your vocabulary. You arrogantly view God's promise of spiritual and physical rewards as a way of training you (Oh Great Ones) like 'dogs' or 'monkeys'. This blasphemy of aspiring to be a self actualized god besides God violates the first commandment given to Moses by partnering yourselves with God rather than seeing yourselves as creatures with physical and spiritual needs as opposed to the True One transcendentally and majestic God is truly free of all needs, worthy of all praise (Quran). This blasphemous desire leads you to both cognitive spiritual blindness shielding yourself from God's guidance: Quran Chapter 17, The Nigh Journey- 45. When you read the Quran, We place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier. 46. And We drape veils over their hearts, preventing them from understanding it, and heaviness in their ears. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran, they turn their backs in aversion. 47. We know well what they listen to, when they listen to you, as they conspire, when the wrongdoers say, “You only follow a man bewitched.” 48. Note what they compared you to. They are lost, and unable to find a way. 49. And they say, “When we have become bones and fragments, shall we really be resurrected as a new creation?” 50. Say, “Even if you become rocks or iron. 51. Or some substance, which, in your minds, is even harder.” Then they will say, “Who will restore us?” Say, “The One who originated you the first time.” Then they will nod their heads at you, and say, “When will it be?” Say, “Perhaps it will be soon.” 52. On the Day when He calls you, you will respond with His praise, and you will realize that you stayed only a little. ...........111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.”

Want to know about after life? Ask Koran. Humans can't stop thinking about after life because death is a mystery. If you think of after life you will live with humility n justice on earth preparing for the after life. No Abrahamic religion has a vivid idea of it more than the Koran which came to complete the divine message. Jews stopped learning from Jesus, stopped learning from Mohammad... Result= little knowledge which is a recipe for disaster.

There is no "after Life" or anthropologic dualism in Torah. The author of Tora didnt believe that humans have an immaterial spirit (or soul) and that soul can survive out of the earthly body .Those are ideas Judaism took from Greeks, specific form Neoplatonism after the 2th century ce. In Torah humans have only a body. You die and that's all. Resurection is an idea prophets took from zoroastrianism , bat again resurection in prophets das not mean immaterial soul, its just mean that God will create again the bodies of the dead peaple
