There was a Jewish parable about heaven and hell that I had heard years back. In it a man dies and is shown two rooms before him. In the first room, he sees tables with sumptuous food but all the people looked emaciated and were moaning and crying. He saw that the people all had long spoons in their hands, but had no elbows and thus were unable to feed themselves any of this food. The man was told that this was hell. The man was then brought to the other room. In there, he saw the same tables filled with sumptuous food. Here again the people had no elbows and had long spoons in their hands. These people seemed very happy, laughing and talking with each other. The man then saw someone use their spoon to take some of the food and they reached across the table to feed the person across from them. The recipient enjoyed the food, thanking the other person and returned the favor by offering a spoonful of food to that person. All of the people people continued to be happy and well sated. The man was then told that this was heaven. The message behind this story is that we make our own heaven and hell. We are all faced with certain realities. If we view them in a selfish manner we can create our own hell, whereas by working together and caring for each other, we can turn the same realities into heaven.
It is evident that the people in Biblical times believed in an after life. King Saul sought out a medium to seek the spirit of Samuel. He wouldn’t do that if he didn’t think it were possible. It is also logical that if God is a spirit being, and humans have souls, that the soul survives after death.
The argument that people should not do things because they are motivated by reward is an ideal. The Creator did not create an ideal world but a reality, with human nature. May I offer the Qur'anic perspective? Allah describes the pleasures of the the Garden and the torment of the Hellfire, but He says that Allah's pleasure and forgiveness is the greatest reward. There will be people who worship Allah for His pleasure and forgiveness - i.e. 'because it's the right thing to do'. But perhaps many more will worship Him because they want the pleasures of the Garden or at least fear the torment of the Hellfire. Should they be discouraged from worshipping Allah just because they are not as altruistic? No, because Allah created mankind and knows not all of them have the same motivations.
God is to beautiful to create any heaven or hell. The human version of an afterlife is so selfish and vain. So many people with all the material blessings still think God is worried about their frat initiation over a kid who just died of starvation in Africa? Why do we think this of our Lord? You think a lonely poverty stricken child prayed about an initiation into a social group? No I'm sure he prayed for the pain in his belly to cease. God is beautiful he loves everyone and rejects the violent and evil. Those who kill flesh and bring destruction to families. Love God, by loving your family and understanding and having empathy for the lost souls who will never have a chance to feel loved in this life, that will be loving God. We are to used to saying we love God but we treat our fellow man with disgust and disdain. How can you love an invisible god and hate another man because he doesn't agree with you? What kind of love is that? Love the broken hearted not the wicked because their is a difference. There is a difference between a drug addict who smashes old ladies skulls to get his drugs than an addicts who pays for his addiction and lives in extreme pain for his sin. Love love love 💗 I love love ❤️ people is loving god if you don't love humanity you will never love God. Worship god because it's only natural not out of fear. God deserves it not even because god wants it. God in itself love pure non fear non winning love. Sinners won't burn in hell they will be refined in a spiritual fire. God is beautiful I love god. I need to always love god and gods creation
Believe in one true God, and all of his messengers i. From Adam to Muhammed peace be upon them , and do good deeds , die on that status you will be saved by the will of God.
While I’m a tad late to the party I think I can help with a secular theological interpretation of salvation. The major question to ask yourself is how does your sect or branch view works and faith? Some groups say abiding by the law and carrying out works is required for spiritual salvation, some say works are good but ultimately faith alone is the deciding factor for eternal salvation. People tend to say a mix of two is good since realistically there will be times where certain works are impossible to carry out, say, when you are in a coma and the converse: it would be odd if someone who carried out works without truly believing in the creator should be allowed admittance over a virtuous person who didn’t know the law perfectly due to illiteracy for example, but believed in the creator. For me personally I think the common insight that links these two aspects of salvation is ‘intent’. I would say generally speaking that if one wants to earn a right to a better afterlife they have to earnestly practice their religion, works or faith. If either is omitted solely because of laziness or unwillingness than I feel that would disqualify one from claiming they are a devout follower.
@@thoththeatlantean1226 Hi Thoth, sounds like you are reacting to the orthodox Christian teaching of eternal torment in hell. If you are, good for you, because it’s a ludicrous teaching and Christianity has got it completely wrong because it wants to threaten and control people with it’s sadistic, schizophrenic, psychotic ideas and threats. It gets this idea from paganism and several critical, mistranslated words from the original languages of scripture. The words were mistranslated into our English bibles by translators with a preexisting hell bias and when they are correctly translated this doctrine dissolves and Jesus Christ is revealed as the successful Saviour of all, not just the few who manage to believe in Him in this short, difficult life before they die. If you are at all interested in the accurate perspective of scripture, may l offer to you to look at these sites: Tentmaker.org MartinZender.com You will find them quite surprising.
For me it is clear that it is known in Torah. Parshat Waychi begins with the approaching end of life of Ya'akkov. In the course of this, in his request to Joseph, follows a clear proof and testimony of his faith in a situation of more than just the grave after death: "If I lie down with my fathers, you will carry me away from Egypt, and bury me in their burial place" (47:30). So we see that the lying down with the fathers precedes the being burried with them. Also in the commandment to his other sons this conviction appears: "אֲנִי נֶאֱסָף אֶל-עַמִּי I am to be gathered to my people, bury me with my fathers ... " (49:29). And indeed, "he expired, and was gathered to his people" (49:33). Again, the gathering with his people preceded the burying. The same was said of Yitschak: "Yitschak expired and died, וַיֵּאָסֶף אֶל-עַמָּיו and was gathered to his people, old and full of days; and Esav and Ya'akov, his sons, buried him" (Wayyishlach 35:29) and from Yitschak his father we read it for the first time in the Torah: "And Avraham expired and died in good old age, an old man, וַיֵּאָסֶף, אֶל-עַמָּיו and was gathered to his people. And Yitschak and Yishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, ..."(25:8,9). So to my opinion this being "gathered with his people", always preceding the kvura, is pointing to the rest before the techiat hametim.
1:35 what is he referring to when he says "we know all too well what happens when a religion focuses all to much on the paradise of the world to come..."
Daniel Núñez He means you fall into the same trap humanity has fallen in time and time again. God hates religion if you don't see that then I'm sorry. God is all he is the I am that means he is the limitless eternal boundary. He is space time and beyond. Eternal and all knowing. We are aLl on a sacred mission. Religion divides and creates cultures and sects. God unites in love and compassion. We are lost forms of love. We know nothing until we can forgive the unforgivable. Religion is death but god is eternal.
Here is an afterlife for you. Numbers 16:32-34 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households-all Korah’s men and all their possessions. They went down alive into Sheol with all they owned. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly. At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled, saying, “The earth may swallow us too!”…
Are you saying that people may not live the “right” way if they knew about the afterlife so that’s why it’s not mentioned in the Torah? It’s presumptuous to believe that people won’t live their lives to make the world a better place if they had knowledge of life after death.
The argument about not referring to "reward" in the Torah so as not to seem to be compelling love of God seems to ignore the point that there are many mentions of punishment for failing to obey God. And there are actually plenty of mentions of reward -- at least for the Jewish people collectively, and on this earth, eg God will protect them from enemies, give them a homeland, etc. We know that at the time of Jesus, at least one important Jewish sect (the Sadducees) rejected the idea of an afterlife precisely because it was not explicitly mentioned in the Torah.
Thank you for pointing this out! If we live in such a way only to achieve heaven...or to avoid hell...who are we really thinking about? Ourselves. Bishop John Shelby Spong stated, emphatically, that threats of hell cause us to go into survival mode, which, according to brain science, renders us totally self-focused and destroys free will. This also applies to glorified promises of heaven. Given the pains of this life, heaven is a desperately needed lifeboat we'll do anything to achieve. Either way, we're in survival mode, not in a here-and-now state of love for others which, in turn, returns healthily back to us.
Jesus was a jew talking to jews and if he mentioned the bosom of Abraham then surely the concept of ultimate reward existed. But still, it is a stunner that paradise was never mentioned in the Torah! ohhh just had a thought ... what about the garden of Eden?
@@guardiandogoargentinos1385 you know what else was never taught about christianity the name Christ was used before "Jesus" the real name was actually Yeshua or some people spell it like Yashua
@@guardiandogoargentinos1385 that ain't false he was Hebrew so his name would be in Hebrew you need to stop lying to yourself and accept the truth I had to get over it as well finding out I was doing everything wrong and I bet you didn't know gods name is Yahweh
Or... (bear with me, because this might sound crazy) ancient jews just didn't believe in the afterlife, at least not in heaven. Ever thought of that crazy simple explanation? The Jewish bible might not talk about heaven, but it does talk about the underworld, where the souls of dead people went and just stayed there. Later they started believing other stuff and reformed their faith.
A Christian neighbor asked me if I believe Jesus is coming next year, That’s was 30 years ago. My answer was - I am ready today. This is the essence of Judaism- do your part, be ready today, and God will take care of the rest. All these black hats, and kosher dishes are crutches ,they are not going to help if you didn’t keep your part of the bargain.
On the other hand, god asked Jews to keep the law and never revoked that commandment. And he did it for a explicit reason: to keep them apart, or in the bible's words, to make them holy, because god is holy (holy in hebrew basically means: to keep apart, separate, for god's use). Of course keeping the "cultural" laws (for lack of a better word) is not enough, but is something god explicitly asked Jews to do.
The world is created in God’s wisdom for temporary use. Every soul shall taste death. God created Jinns and Humans to worship Him alone and to do things for his sake. After you die you take your deeds with you and their weighed. Those who believed in God and didn’t assosciate partners with Him and strived to do good will enter Paradise, forever. Those who rejected God and lived according to their own desires will enter Hell, forever. There is a day of accountability for everyone. No matter what nation your from. Otherwise individuals will lie, steal, rob, cheat, take, murder and transgress all bounds and get away with it. Without accountability. Those who don’t believe in a Hereafter can be the most dangerous human beings on earth. They can harm themselves and others without a worry. You should love what God loves and hate what He hates. You should do something for the sake of God and His pleasure, theirs reward in that. If you do something for the sake of others, theirs no reward in it. People may support you or let you down in life. God is appreciative of the smallest good Deeds. God sends Messengers to guide people, whoever followed them was victories. Whoever opposed them was humiliated. Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) didn’t need an army to bring down the Pharaoh and his army. God sends whoever he wants to guide a community from any Nation or race. He decides who to send, when to send, how to send, not us. We are all subjects in this great test of life and are His servants. Most Messengers were from the Children of Israel (Prophet Yaqoob/Jacob’s progeny, peace be upon him). The final Messenger is Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). If you reject him because he’s not from your forefathers lineage, because his an Arab, it means theirs pride in your heart. Satan had pride over Adam (peace be upon him). He said I’m better than him, he is made of clay and I’m made of fire. God hates those who have pride. He loves those who submit to His will. Our covenant is with God, not our nationality, family, community, heritage. If your father was astray it doesn’t mean you have to be astray. Abraham’s father was astray but he was accepting to God’s guidance. He was of the honoured. May we all be guided to the Truth and overcome our pride. Worship One God alone, shown by the way of the final Messenger Muhammad (pbuh). He is on the same path of all the great prophets, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Solomon, David, Jesus. They never shared their worship to God with anyone else. Gods name is Allah in Arabic, get to know him. Your creator, my creator.
I have a copy of The Holy Scriptures according to the Masoretic text copyright 1917 and published in Philadelphia by the Jewish Publication Society of America. From somewhere around the early 1950s, I have always thought of the Hebrew Bible as being comprised of all 39 of those books, not only the five books of Moses. The Hebrew word, “Ruahh” occurs 442 times in those 39 books. The King James translators translated it “spirit” 232 times “wind” 97 times “breath” 28 times “smell” 8 times “mind” 6 times “Blast” 4 times and also as “tempest”, “courage’, “anger”, toucheth”, “understanding” and “accept”. In the Bible, the ruahh is never said to be immortal. N’shahmah occurs 24 times in those same 39 books. The King James translators translated it “breath” 17 times “blast” 3 times “spirit” twice and also as “soul” and “inspiration”. The Hebrew word, “nehphesh” occurs 745 times in those same 39 books. The King James translators translated it “Soul” 473 times “Life” or “lives” 120 times “Person” 30 times “Mind” 16 times “Heart” 15 times “The dead” and “dead body” 13 times “Creature” 9 times “Will” 4 times “Appetite” twice “Lust” twice “Thing” twice and also as “breath”, beast”, “fish”, “desire”, “ghost”, and “pleasure”. In the Bible, the “nehphesh” is never said to be immortal and the King James translators never translated “nehphesh” as “spirit”. The King James translators translated the Hebrew word “sheol” as “Hell: 31 times “Grave” 31 times and “Pit” 3 times. The Hebrew patriarch, Israel (Jacob) expected to go to sheol (Genesis 37:35). Psalm 89:48 seems to imply that all humans go to sheol. From the above (and from Genesis 2:7) I conclude that observant Hebrews didn’t teach dualism - the philosophy that the mental and the physical or the mind and body or the mind and brain are essentially and radically different from each other - until they borrowed that philosophy from the Greeks - probably sometime after the sixth century B.C. Two thousand years ago, Pharisees expected to be resurrected someday but Sadusees denied that possibility. In the English translation from the Masoretic text (mentioned in the first paragraph above), Psalm 139:8 reads as follows: “If I ascend up into heaven, Thou are there; If I make my bed in the nether-world, behold, Thou art there.” This language doesn’t “NECESSARILY” imply that the creator’s abode is limited to somewhere beyond the stars The belief in a supernatural realm - a God of miracles, for example - is not the same as believing that any human will live eternally any other place than Earth, nor is belief in a future resurrection the same as subscribing to the philosophy that, between death and resurrection, the essence of a person is in a conscious state - with the creator or anywhere else.
@@bigjokerhere111 Yes, I meant: Genesis 25:8 And Abraham breathed his last, dying at a good ripe age, old and contented; and he was gathered to his kin. and Deuteronomy 32:50 You shall die on the mountain that you are about to ascend, and shall be gathered to your kin, as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his kin;
It was never mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It isn't mentioned because God doesn't want you to worship him just for reward in heaven. But jesus says worship me so you go to heaven so jesus isn't God. Jesus just says ano believe in God great after life because rabbi. God doesn't want us to think but he knows that if we worship him it will be good but Christianity took it from Greek mythology. So no one knows. But most popularly are that the soul is reunited when the end times come so either they will perish or live everlasting life in heaven
I can appreciate what you said about establishing a loving relationship with G-d But the concept of G-d is an absolute abstract thing and how can we expect a normal person who is bogged down with the troubles of day to day life to take time and establish a loving relationship with a concept called G-d? It’s loke asking a child to bond with fairies, of course the child can do that because it’s purely imagination at work here so to bring down a lofty concept called G-d to a level that can be understood and not just imagined and fantasied we need to show the tangible evidences for its real existence in Kabbalah it says that we can never understand the real nature of G-d but it says that we can get some understanding of its nature , I totally can accept that because we are small mammals with limited brain capacity so I’m totally fine with the Kabbalistic interpretation of the metaphysical Layers to our mysterious universe and the invisible realms that are beyond our understanding but we should also remember that the regular people don’t have the time or the urge or the reason to establish a connection with G-d, I have tried very hard to establish a loving relationship with G-d but it’s not easy because we live in a world that everything in it is shooting aloud to us that the number one rule on earth is the cruel rules of nature and suffering happens everywhere and in the animal kingdom and in our world too , so we should be very careful to talk about very lofty ideas because the regular people would rebel against such lofty ideas .
By twisting opinion in the first sentence followed by fact will not be a great argument or discussion. I admit the later part is Knowledgeable and true. But there's a loophole from what your trying to feed the confused mind of this era s listener.
Why would you say, of the Rambam's comments on The World To Come, that you find something, "...particularly amusing?" What a horrific thing to say! The Rambam's works have never struck me as, "amusing." They have struck me as "Over my head," "Deep," "Insightful," but never "...particularly amusing.
Not everyone gets to understand everlasting life some Jews included.. if you only see the physical your only a carnal minded man .. per your books .. so ‘My sheep’s would recognize me’. Pray for Heaven on Earth ..
according from what I heard, we weren't capable of doing evil until the snake introduced it on us, that moment was when we became self conscious and had to trade short term pleasure or long term happiness.
What about those people who selflessly love, work, live their lives honestly but still suffer persecution and are not rewarded in this world, the point is that there should be a mentioning of an after life not as a condition that if they do a certain act they'll go to heaven but as a scenario where they will be rewarded for their selfless deeds and they will be rewarded for the injustices they endure.
You know I am jewish person and I don't believe in after life reward but I believe in after life born again I don't want any rewards after live,if having relationship with god and going in his ways for rewards it very disgusting to think with benefits , it greedy also I think we are already rewarded family friends happiness health love ,to have children faliture .... everything I don't want anything in return I just want to make my god happy and proud like my parents god is like parents he protect you it doesnt matter if you even don't believe god exist
Because that was the purpose and Jews knows this that they are waiting then for the Messiah, the Messenger and Teacher and Saviour...to remind the Jews that there is "life after death" so that judgement day will come where goats will be separated with sheep where goats will go to eternal damnation while sheep eternal happiness in heaven with God out of His Divine Trinity. Who is the best messenger and teacher of God's message...is He, Himself and why will we doubt the power of God to be a Holy Divine Triune yet we all believe from Christianity, to Jews and to Allah of Islam, that God is Omnipotent= all-powerful, Omniscent= all Knowing etc...who made everything and yet cannot perform Himself to Triune....and how come Jesus Christ performed miracles that even Mohammed was not able...is it black magic and sorcery and how come this miracles are out of goodness and not evil....Jews did not believe Jesus Christ resurrected from death....even the Romans knew this and that's the reason why now from Romans became Christians, followers of Christ but remember Jesus Christ incarnated from the Father to teach and show the right path of His chosen people...and whose this...the Jews. That's why the early Christians are Jews themselves.
Totally illogical presentation. ... ~ the Torah is not the entire Hebrew Bible, so why talk as if it is ~ the ten commandments and the covenants that God makes always talk blessing and curse. = totally illogical
Your argument is incredibly ignorant. The whole torah is filled with threats and blessings from God repeated over and over and over, extreme and detailed mind you. The whole covenant is based on threats and blessings, the afterlife could very easily have been mentioned there too from the perspective of giving a reason to obey. Maybe there is some other reason it was not mentioned that I don't know about, but this lovey dovey nonsense is completely wrong.
My dear Jewish friend. Muslims and Islam do not sacrifice life in this world for the sake of the hereafter. This is the Jewish understanding of Islam and muslims. This justifies your belief in what you call Judaism. Can I ask if you are called to call non Jews to Almighty G-d. Can non Jews be equal to someone who is born Jewish.
Abraham was not Jewish but God saved Him and made a covenant with him , so it's pretty safe to say Jew or Gentile are the same in God's eyes. Abraham was a Gentile from a Gentile nation. And Abraham was considered the Father of the Jewish nation.
The Torah which was given to prophet Moses was destroyed but today the five book of Moses which jews considered Torah is man made Torah that's why there is no any topic of after life. After death God will resurrect all human once again and God will give them punishment and reward for their bad and good deeds.

Eternal life is a gift we can receive by faith in jesus the Messiah who died for our sins .according to the scriptures was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures .1 Corintians 15:3-4.the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
@IL NGR Read Psalm 110:1. It says there: The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." All of us sinned. Sin leads to death. Sin is a "spiritual transgression". What is the purpose why God would send Christ/the Messiah? It is to cleanse us from all our sins "FOREVER", for all eternity. As it is also written in Isaiah 53, that He (the Messiah) was bruised, tortured, deprived, mocked, left by everybody, in short, He suffered and was suffered for the sake of mankind, for the salvation of (our) souls. If the Messiah should come from a "man", then, that man's sacrifice would NOT BE ENOUGH to cover all our sins for he is only a human being like us. Therefore, it needs to be Someone "who is of eternity" and "without sin". I conclude that, He must be a "God", like the "Son of God". Moreover, going back to David's exclamation towards the Messiah, that he addresses Christ as his "Lord", meaning like his God, because why would he, in the spirit, addressed Him as his Lord? He should have known that the Messiah would be "God". What can you say about the two sacred scriptures? No one in the history of mankind like the story of the Lord Jesus that ABSOLUTELY fits the description about the Messiah being Him alone. If you know the history, you will know. May we come to believe in the true Messiah. God bless! The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with us! P.S. The things of God are the things of God. And politics is politics.
@IL NGR If you'd read the new testament you'll see the true Messiah, He said He never came to abolish the law but to fullfil. Try and read it for yourself . God bless you!
@IL NGR But bro, Jesus preaced about repentace of sins and to turn away from evil! Jesus taught the righteous way of living, emphasizing the great commandments of God! As it is also written that a true prophet will preach to God's people about repentance and the Kingdom of GOd! People who heard Him did not turn to other "false gods". Rather, they turned away from their sins and repented back to God. Jesus taught to love God (the Father) with all your heart, mind, soul and spirit and to love your neighbor as yourself. That's what He taught. Did He teach something that made other people disbelieving in God? Absolutely, no! You just heard a false/incomplete information/truths about Him. Do we, christians worship non-existing gods? Absolutely no! We worship God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit alone, for these are the words to be spoken when priests/prophets bless people (there is a scripture on the Old Testament about God commanding His levite priests to bless the people through the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit). Only God is the source of blessings, the origin of things. That's why Elohim, alone, to be worshipped. God bless! Who is God the Son? No other than but Him being Jesus. God the Son is Him, being Jesus! That's why we also worship Him. God's Son is God. He and the Father are one in ("essence") with the unity of the Holy Spirit. God bless!
Like all other religions Judaism has also been a project. A religion which has developed during the time. Most of today's core ideas of modern Judaism come from Zoroastrianism.
mogbaba do you know that zoroastrianism originally had judgement day heaven and hell and even hinduism had it the quran is the only preserved book and only it should be fully trusted in this age for answers
There was a Jewish parable about heaven and hell that I had heard years back. In it a man dies and is shown two rooms before him.
In the first room, he sees tables with sumptuous food but all the people looked emaciated and were moaning and crying. He saw that the people all had long spoons in their hands, but had no elbows and thus were unable to feed themselves any of this food. The man was told that this was hell.
The man was then brought to the other room. In there, he saw the same tables filled with sumptuous food. Here again the people had no elbows and had long spoons in their hands. These people seemed very happy, laughing and talking with each other. The man then saw someone use their spoon to take some of the food and they reached across the table to feed the person across from them. The recipient enjoyed the food, thanking the other person and returned the favor by offering a spoonful of food to that person. All of the people people continued to be happy and well sated. The man was then told that this was heaven.
The message behind this story is that we make our own heaven and hell. We are all faced with certain realities. If we view them in a selfish manner we can create our own hell, whereas by working together and caring for each other, we can turn the same realities into heaven.
Hm.. Interesting.
@@yes-j9r I guess, this is what christianity is all about...? And base from how the story is created, this must be influenced from heaven above...

Perhaps
The argument that people should not do things because they are motivated by reward is an ideal. The Creator did not create an ideal world but a reality, with human nature. May I offer the Qur'anic perspective? Allah describes the pleasures of the the Garden and the torment of the Hellfire, but He says that Allah's pleasure and forgiveness is the greatest reward. There will be people who worship Allah for His pleasure and forgiveness - i.e. 'because it's the right thing to do'. But perhaps many more will worship Him because they want the pleasures of the Garden or at least fear the torment of the Hellfire. Should they be discouraged from worshipping Allah just because they are not as altruistic? No, because Allah created mankind and knows not all of them have the same motivations.
God is to beautiful to create any heaven or hell. The human version of an afterlife is so selfish and vain. So many people with all the material blessings still think God is worried about their frat initiation over a kid who just died of starvation in Africa? Why do we think this of our Lord? You think a lonely poverty stricken child prayed about an initiation into a social group? No I'm sure he prayed for the pain in his belly to cease. God is beautiful he loves everyone and rejects the violent and evil. Those who kill flesh and bring destruction to families. Love God, by loving your family and understanding and having empathy for the lost souls who will never have a chance to feel loved in this life, that will be loving God. We are to used to saying we love God but we treat our fellow man with disgust and disdain. How can you love an invisible god and hate another man because he doesn't agree with you? What kind of love is that? Love the broken hearted not the wicked because their is a difference. There is a difference between a drug addict who smashes old ladies skulls to get his drugs than an addicts who pays for his addiction and lives in extreme pain for his sin. Love love love 💗 I love love ❤️ people is loving god if you don't love humanity you will never love God. Worship god because it's only natural not out of fear. God deserves it not even because god wants it. God in itself love pure non fear non winning love. Sinners won't burn in hell they will be refined in a spiritual fire. God is beautiful I love god. I need to always love god and gods creation

Believe in one true God, and all of his messengers i. From Adam to Muhammed peace be upon them , and do good deeds , die on that status you will be saved by the will of God.
While I’m a tad late to the party I think I can help with a secular theological interpretation of salvation.
The major question to ask yourself is how does your sect or branch view works and faith? Some groups say abiding by the law and carrying out works is required for spiritual salvation, some say works are good but ultimately faith alone is the deciding factor for eternal salvation. People tend to say a mix of two is good since realistically there will be times where certain works are impossible to carry out, say, when you are in a coma and the converse: it would be odd if someone who carried out works without truly believing in the creator should be allowed admittance over a virtuous person who didn’t know the law perfectly due to illiteracy for example, but believed in the creator.
For me personally I think the common insight that links these two aspects of salvation is ‘intent’. I would say generally speaking that if one wants to earn a right to a better afterlife they have to earnestly practice their religion, works or faith. If either is omitted solely because of laziness or unwillingness than I feel that would disqualify one from claiming they are a devout follower.
you are your own god, not a fatherlike kinglike schizophrenic sadistic psychopathic god
@@thoththeatlantean1226 Hi Thoth, sounds like you are reacting to the orthodox Christian teaching of eternal torment in hell. If you are, good for you, because it’s a ludicrous teaching and Christianity has got it completely wrong because it wants to threaten and control people with it’s sadistic, schizophrenic, psychotic ideas and threats.
It gets this idea from paganism and several critical, mistranslated words from the original languages of scripture. The words were mistranslated into our English bibles by translators with a preexisting hell bias and when they are correctly translated this doctrine dissolves and Jesus Christ is revealed as the successful Saviour of all, not just the few who manage to believe in Him in this short, difficult life before they die.
If you are at all interested in the accurate perspective of scripture, may l offer to you to look at these sites:

A remarkable thought on making the earth a better place to live rather living in a unknown heaven
For me it is clear that it is known in Torah. Parshat Waychi begins with the approaching end of life of Ya'akkov. In the course of this, in his request to Joseph, follows a clear proof and testimony of his faith in a situation of more than just the grave after death: "If I lie down with my fathers, you will carry me away from Egypt, and bury me in their burial place" (47:30). So we see that the lying down with the fathers precedes the being burried with them. Also in the commandment to his other sons this conviction appears: "אֲנִי נֶאֱסָף אֶל-עַמִּי I am to be gathered to my people, bury me with my fathers ... " (49:29). And indeed, "he expired, and was gathered to his people" (49:33). Again, the gathering with his people preceded the burying.
The same was said of Yitschak: "Yitschak expired and died, וַיֵּאָסֶף אֶל-עַמָּיו and was gathered to his people, old and full of days; and Esav and Ya'akov, his sons, buried him" (Wayyishlach 35:29) and from Yitschak his father we read it for the first time in the Torah: "And Avraham expired and died in good old age, an old man, וַיֵּאָסֶף, אֶל-עַמָּיו and was gathered to his people. And Yitschak and Yishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, ..."(25:8,9).
So to my opinion this being "gathered with his people", always preceding the kvura, is pointing to the rest before the techiat hametim.
1:35 what is he referring to when he says "we know all too well what happens when a religion focuses all to much on the paradise of the world to come..."
Daniel Núñez
He means you fall into the same trap humanity has fallen in time and time again. God hates religion if you don't see that then I'm sorry. God is all he is the I am that means he is the limitless eternal boundary. He is space time and beyond. Eternal and all knowing. We are aLl on a sacred mission. Religion divides and creates cultures and sects. God unites in love and compassion. We are lost forms of love. We know nothing until we can forgive the unforgivable. Religion is death but god is eternal.
Here is an afterlife for you.
Numbers 16:32-34 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households-all Korah’s men and all their possessions. They went down alive into Sheol with all they owned. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly. At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled, saying, “The earth may swallow us too!”…
Exactly, sheol is like hell because Korach was disobedient.
Are you saying that people may not live the “right” way if they knew about the afterlife so that’s why it’s not mentioned in the Torah? It’s presumptuous to believe that people won’t live their lives to make the world a better place if they had knowledge of life after death.
The argument about not referring to "reward" in the Torah so as not to seem to be compelling love of God seems to ignore the point that there are many mentions of punishment for failing to obey God. And there are actually plenty of mentions of reward -- at least for the Jewish people collectively, and on this earth, eg God will protect them from enemies, give them a homeland, etc. We know that at the time of Jesus, at least one important Jewish sect (the Sadducees) rejected the idea of an afterlife precisely because it was not explicitly mentioned in the Torah.
Thank you for pointing this out! If we live in such a way only to achieve heaven...or to avoid hell...who are we really thinking about? Ourselves. Bishop John Shelby Spong stated, emphatically, that threats of hell cause us to go into survival mode, which, according to brain science, renders us totally self-focused and destroys free will. This also applies to glorified promises of heaven. Given the pains of this life, heaven is a desperately needed lifeboat we'll do anything to achieve. Either way, we're in survival mode, not in a here-and-now state of love for others which, in turn, returns healthily back to us.
Thank you bro😁
Now we have only believe that book where after life mentions many msny times🤲
So true.
Jesus was a jew talking to jews and if he mentioned the bosom of Abraham then surely the concept of ultimate reward existed. But still, it is a stunner that paradise was never mentioned in the Torah! ohhh just had a thought ... what about the garden of Eden?
Watch my video titled "Truth About Christianity You Were Never Taught"
@@guardiandogoargentinos1385 you know what else was never taught about christianity the name Christ was used before "Jesus" the real name was actually Yeshua or some people spell it like Yashua

His name was Yeshua
ישוע
While ('ה)=Adonai, the spirit of god
ישועה (ישוע+ה)=Salvation
Or... (bear with me, because this might sound crazy) ancient jews just didn't believe in the afterlife, at least not in heaven. Ever thought of that crazy simple explanation? The Jewish bible might not talk about heaven, but it does talk about the underworld, where the souls of dead people went and just stayed there. Later they started believing other stuff and reformed their faith.
then, whats for torah , the mose's law exist?
A Christian neighbor asked me if I believe Jesus is coming next year, That’s was 30 years ago. My answer was - I am ready today. This is the essence of Judaism- do your part, be ready today, and God will take care of the rest. All these black hats, and kosher dishes are crutches ,they are not going to help if you didn’t keep your part of the bargain.
On the other hand, god asked Jews to keep the law and never revoked that commandment. And he did it for a explicit reason: to keep them apart, or in the bible's words, to make them holy, because god is holy (holy in hebrew basically means: to keep apart, separate, for god's use). Of course keeping the "cultural" laws (for lack of a better word) is not enough, but is something god explicitly asked Jews to do.
The world is created in God’s wisdom for temporary use. Every soul shall taste death. God created Jinns and Humans to worship Him alone and to do things for his sake. After you die you take your deeds with you and their weighed. Those who believed in God and didn’t assosciate partners with Him and strived to do good will enter Paradise, forever. Those who rejected God and lived according to their own desires will enter Hell, forever. There is a day of accountability for everyone. No matter what nation your from.
Otherwise individuals will lie, steal, rob, cheat, take, murder and transgress all bounds and get away with it. Without accountability. Those who don’t believe in a Hereafter can be the most dangerous human beings on earth. They can harm themselves and others without a worry.
You should love what God loves and hate what He hates. You should do something for the sake of God and His pleasure, theirs reward in that. If you do something for the sake of others, theirs no reward in it. People may support you or let you down in life. God is appreciative of the smallest good Deeds.
God sends Messengers to guide people, whoever followed them was victories. Whoever opposed them was humiliated. Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) didn’t need an army to bring down the Pharaoh and his army. God sends whoever he wants to guide a community from any Nation or race. He decides who to send, when to send, how to send, not us. We are all subjects in this great test of life and are His servants. Most Messengers were from the Children of Israel (Prophet Yaqoob/Jacob’s progeny, peace be upon him). The final Messenger is Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). If you reject him because he’s not from your forefathers lineage, because his an Arab, it means theirs pride in your heart. Satan had pride over Adam (peace be upon him). He said I’m better than him, he is made of clay and I’m made of fire. God hates those who have pride. He loves those who submit to His will. Our covenant is with God, not our nationality, family, community, heritage. If your father was astray it doesn’t mean you have to be astray. Abraham’s father was astray but he was accepting to God’s guidance. He was of the honoured.
May we all be guided to the Truth and overcome our pride. Worship One God alone, shown by the way of the final Messenger Muhammad (pbuh). He is on the same path of all the great prophets, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Solomon, David, Jesus. They never shared their worship to God with anyone else. Gods name is Allah in Arabic, get to know him. Your creator, my creator.

Beautiful.
You too
I have a copy of The Holy Scriptures according to the Masoretic text copyright 1917 and published in Philadelphia by the Jewish Publication Society of America.
From somewhere around the early 1950s, I have always thought of the Hebrew Bible as being comprised of all 39 of those books, not only the five books of Moses.
The Hebrew word, “Ruahh” occurs 442 times in those 39 books. The King James translators translated it
“spirit” 232 times
“wind” 97 times
“breath” 28 times
“smell” 8 times
“mind” 6 times
“Blast” 4 times and also as “tempest”, “courage’, “anger”, toucheth”, “understanding” and “accept”.
In the Bible, the ruahh is never said to be immortal.
N’shahmah occurs 24 times in those same 39 books. The King James translators translated it
“breath” 17 times
“blast” 3 times
“spirit” twice and also as “soul” and “inspiration”.
The Hebrew word, “nehphesh” occurs 745 times in those same 39 books. The King James translators translated it
“Soul” 473 times
“Life” or “lives” 120 times
“Person” 30 times
“Mind” 16 times
“Heart” 15 times
“The dead” and “dead body” 13 times
“Creature” 9 times
“Will” 4 times
“Appetite” twice
“Lust” twice
“Thing” twice and also as “breath”, beast”, “fish”, “desire”, “ghost”, and “pleasure”.
In the Bible, the “nehphesh” is never said to be immortal and the King James translators never translated “nehphesh” as “spirit”.
The King James translators translated the Hebrew word “sheol” as
“Hell: 31 times
“Grave” 31 times and
“Pit” 3 times.
The Hebrew patriarch, Israel (Jacob) expected to go to sheol (Genesis 37:35). Psalm 89:48 seems to imply that all humans go to sheol.
From the above (and from Genesis 2:7) I conclude that observant Hebrews didn’t teach dualism - the philosophy that the mental and the physical or the mind and body or the mind and brain are essentially and radically different from each other - until they borrowed that philosophy from the Greeks - probably sometime after the sixth century B.C.
Two thousand years ago, Pharisees expected to be resurrected someday but Sadusees denied that possibility.
In the English translation from the Masoretic text (mentioned in the first paragraph above), Psalm 139:8 reads as follows: “If I ascend up into heaven, Thou are there; If I make my bed in the nether-world, behold, Thou art there.”
This language doesn’t “NECESSARILY” imply that the creator’s abode is limited to somewhere beyond the stars
The belief in a supernatural realm - a God of miracles, for example - is not the same as believing that any human will live eternally any other place than Earth, nor is belief in a future resurrection the same as subscribing to the philosophy that, between death and resurrection, the essence of a person is in a conscious state - with the creator or anywhere else.
well said
Does not Numbers 19:24 at least imply that there is an afterlife?
Numbers 19 ends at verse 22.
I'm not sure if you meant something else.
@@bigjokerhere111 Numbers 19
Numbers 19:11 Anyone touching the corpse of a human soul shall become unclean for seven days
@@bigjokerhere111
Yes, I meant:
Genesis 25:8
And Abraham breathed his last, dying at a good ripe age, old and contented; and he was gathered to his kin.
and
Deuteronomy 32:50
You shall die on the mountain that you are about to ascend, and shall be gathered to your kin, as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his kin;
Wishful thinking.
It was never mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It isn't mentioned because God doesn't want you to worship him just for reward in heaven. But jesus says worship me so you go to heaven so jesus isn't God. Jesus just says ano believe in God great after life because rabbi. God doesn't want us to think but he knows that if we worship him it will be good but Christianity took it from Greek mythology. So no one knows. But most popularly are that the soul is reunited when the end times come so either they will perish or live everlasting life in heaven
EXACTLY
There is more than just the Torah. So your question is not relevant. See the other books of the Hebrew Bible.
Afterlife denotes that there will be another death to come. This word afterlife twisted that notion in the bible ETERNAL LIFE.
And without logic you dont go anywhere
Is about love and logic
You get it or not
I can appreciate what you said about establishing a loving relationship with G-d
But the concept of G-d is an absolute abstract thing and how can we expect a normal person who is bogged down with the troubles of day to day life to take time and establish a loving relationship with a concept called G-d?
It’s loke asking a child to bond with fairies, of course the child can do that because it’s purely imagination at work here so to bring down a lofty concept called G-d to a level that can be understood and not just imagined and fantasied we need to show the tangible evidences for its real existence in Kabbalah it says that we can never understand the real nature of G-d but it says that we can get some understanding of its nature , I totally can accept that because we are small mammals with limited brain capacity so I’m totally fine with the Kabbalistic interpretation of the metaphysical Layers to our mysterious universe and the invisible realms that are beyond our understanding but we should also remember that the regular people don’t have the time or the urge or the reason to establish a connection with G-d, I have tried very hard to establish a loving relationship with G-d but it’s not easy because we live in a world that everything in it is shooting aloud to us that the number one rule on earth is the cruel rules of nature and suffering happens everywhere and in the animal kingdom and in our world too , so we should be very careful to talk about very lofty ideas because the regular people would rebel against such lofty ideas .
i love what you said about kabbalah
The jewish old testament is the tanakh not the torah
By twisting opinion in the first sentence followed by fact will not be a great argument or discussion. I admit the later part is Knowledgeable and true. But there's a loophole from what your trying to feed the confused mind of this era s listener.
Why would you say, of the Rambam's comments on The World To Come, that you find something, "...particularly amusing?" What a horrific thing to say! The Rambam's works have never struck me as, "amusing." They have struck me as "Over my head," "Deep," "Insightful," but never "...particularly amusing.
Calvin Murphy Ollie said “particularly moving”, not “amusing” !!
That's what I thought also "moving" not amusing.
The Bible asks how do you show love toward God, answer, by loving one another. Of course he was talking to the faithful.
Not everyone gets to understand everlasting life some Jews included.. if you only see the physical your only a carnal minded man .. per your books .. so ‘My sheep’s would recognize me’. Pray for Heaven on Earth ..
Yeah ok
That's what Satan was promised
This life, but non of the next
اعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
The Hebrew Bible is not just the first 5 book
It’s also the writing and the prophets
Actually Jacob I must go down to Sheol
Maybe this here is the afterlife ...somehow we chose to come to hell
@Hot Pizza Cold Beer Anyone? sounds right to me . Yea maybe some people here in this prison have a few toys but its still jail
according from what I heard, we weren't capable of doing evil until the snake introduced it on us, that moment was when we became self conscious and had to trade short term pleasure or long term happiness.
What about those people who selflessly love, work, live their lives honestly but still suffer persecution and are not rewarded in this world, the point is that there should be a mentioning of an after life not as a condition that if they do a certain act they'll go to heaven but as a scenario where they will be rewarded for their selfless deeds and they will be rewarded for the injustices they endure.
Why? This world isn't perfect. When we die, all of our souls will be cleaned by G-d. Everyday is G-ds test.
You know I am jewish person and I don't believe in after life reward but I believe in after life born again I don't want any rewards after live,if having relationship with god and going in his ways for rewards it very disgusting to think with benefits , it greedy also I think we are already rewarded family friends happiness health love ,to have children faliture .... everything I don't want anything in return I just want to make my god happy and proud like my parents god is like parents he protect you it doesnt matter if you even don't believe god exist

Because that was the purpose and Jews knows this that they are waiting then for the Messiah, the Messenger and Teacher and Saviour...to remind the Jews that there is "life after death" so that judgement day will come where goats will be separated with sheep where goats will go to eternal damnation while sheep eternal happiness in heaven with God out of His Divine Trinity. Who is the best messenger and teacher of God's message...is He, Himself and why will we doubt the power of God to be a Holy Divine Triune yet we all believe from Christianity, to Jews and to Allah of Islam, that God is Omnipotent= all-powerful, Omniscent= all Knowing etc...who made everything and yet cannot perform Himself to Triune....and how come Jesus Christ performed miracles that even Mohammed was not able...is it black magic and sorcery and how come this miracles are out of goodness and not evil....Jews did not believe Jesus Christ resurrected from death....even the Romans knew this and that's the reason why now from Romans became Christians, followers of Christ but remember Jesus Christ incarnated from the Father to teach and show the right path of His chosen people...and whose this...the Jews. That's why the early Christians are Jews themselves.
Totally illogical presentation. ... ~ the Torah is not the entire Hebrew Bible, so why talk as if it is ~ the ten commandments and the covenants that God makes always talk blessing and curse. = totally illogical
Your argument is incredibly ignorant. The whole torah is filled with threats and blessings from God repeated over and over and over, extreme and detailed mind you. The whole covenant is based on threats and blessings, the afterlife could very easily have been mentioned there too from the perspective of giving a reason to obey. Maybe there is some other reason it was not mentioned that I don't know about, but this lovey dovey nonsense is completely wrong.
That is the religion of today jews
I read the greeks only
My dear Jewish friend. Muslims and Islam do not sacrifice life in this world for the sake of the hereafter. This is the Jewish understanding of Islam and muslims. This justifies your belief in what you call Judaism. Can I ask if you are called to call non Jews to Almighty G-d. Can non Jews be equal to someone who is born Jewish.
Abraham was not Jewish but God saved Him and made a covenant with him , so it's pretty safe to say Jew or Gentile are the same in God's eyes.
Abraham was a Gentile from a Gentile nation.
And Abraham was considered the Father of the Jewish nation.
The Torah which was given to prophet Moses was destroyed but today the five book of Moses which jews considered Torah is man made Torah that's why there is no any topic of after life. After death God will resurrect all human once again and God will give them punishment and reward for their bad and good deeds.
When was it it destroyed according you? You just repeat what you have been taught all your life.
Jesus is light of this world. Whoever believed him have external life
The very first of the ten commandments given to Moses will debunk any belief in Jesus.

@IL NGR Read Psalm 110:1. It says there: The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." All of us sinned. Sin leads to death. Sin is a "spiritual transgression". What is the purpose why God would send Christ/the Messiah? It is to cleanse us from all our sins "FOREVER", for all eternity. As it is also written in Isaiah 53, that He (the Messiah) was bruised, tortured, deprived, mocked, left by everybody, in short, He suffered and was suffered for the sake of mankind, for the salvation of (our) souls. If the Messiah should come from a "man", then, that man's sacrifice would NOT BE ENOUGH to cover all our sins for he is only a human being like us. Therefore, it needs to be Someone "who is of eternity" and "without sin". I conclude that, He must be a "God", like the "Son of God". Moreover, going back to David's exclamation towards the Messiah, that he addresses Christ as his "Lord", meaning like his God, because why would he, in the spirit, addressed Him as his Lord? He should have known that the Messiah would be "God". What can you say about the two sacred scriptures? No one in the history of mankind like the story of the Lord Jesus that ABSOLUTELY fits the description about the Messiah being Him alone. If you know the history, you will know. May we come to believe in the true Messiah. God bless! The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with us!
P.S. The things of God are the things of God. And politics is politics.
@IL NGR If you'd read the new testament you'll see the true Messiah, He said He never came to abolish the law but to fullfil. Try and read it for yourself . God bless you!
@IL NGR When should He come then?
@IL NGR But bro, Jesus preaced about repentace of sins and to turn away from evil! Jesus taught the righteous way of living, emphasizing the great commandments of God! As it is also written that a true prophet will preach to God's people about repentance and the Kingdom of GOd! People who heard Him did not turn to other "false gods". Rather, they turned away from their sins and repented back to God. Jesus taught to love God (the Father) with all your heart, mind, soul and spirit and to love your neighbor as yourself. That's what He taught. Did He teach something that made other people disbelieving in God? Absolutely, no! You just heard a false/incomplete information/truths about Him. Do we, christians worship non-existing gods? Absolutely no! We worship God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit alone, for these are the words to be spoken when priests/prophets bless people (there is a scripture on the Old Testament about God commanding His levite priests to bless the people through the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit). Only God is the source of blessings, the origin of things. That's why Elohim, alone, to be worshipped. God bless! Who is God the Son? No other than but Him being Jesus. God the Son is Him, being Jesus! That's why we also worship Him. God's Son is God. He and the Father are one in ("essence") with the unity of the Holy Spirit. God bless!
