The Jewish Bible is about Ancient Israel ONLY. It is about an ancient people (descendants of the race of Adam) and their land and a world within-a-world, a world created under direct covenant to God. Their status and positional standing before the God of Israel was framed up under sin and law and death inherited "in Adam". They were "the dead". UNTIL that is, Jesus, their Messiah (Gk Christos) came and delivered his people (Israel) from their sins, making the law vanish, and an end of death (Dan 9, Heb 8). They were made dead (and buried) to their old covenant self "in Adam", by the Cross of Christ, and they were made alive (and raised) to their new covenant self "in Christ", by the Resurrection of Christ (Romans 6, Colossians 3), thereafter their status and positional standing before the God of Israel, was one of righteousness and grace and life inherited "in Christ". God reconciled the people to himself, no longer holding their sins against them (2Cor 5, Rom 5). They were "the living". In AD 70 the old covenant world of Adam and all Israel (once all the Israel gentiles of the Dispersion had been been "gathered in") was judged. Then came the end. The old covenant status and positional standing before God was no more. Sin and law and death and the world of Adam, was no more. It had been destroyed. Ancient Israel under direct covenant to God was no more. THE HEBREW AND JEWISH BIBLE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYBODY LIVING TODAY. We inherit nothing but the story from which we can learn important spiritual lessons. After AD 70, a pagan cult came along and had the gall to hijack the Hebrew and Jewish narrative, to reformulate it into a theological syncretic mess, which perpetuates sin and law and death indefinitley, thus denying and undermining the finished work of Jesus as Israel's Messiah. This pagan cult calls itself "Christianity".
Nobody is counted as in Adam today. All are counted as in Christ. Christ removed sin, once and for all. There is no sin today. The Bible is not our story, it is Israel's story. Our nature is not perfect but nor is it imperfect. We finite and fallible and are evolving. We are evolving within God's Love.
Android 10.0 Nobody goes to heaven or to hell because neither exist except as Christian fiction. Heaven or hell are states of mind. Heaven is within. Hell is within. You choose. Jesus warned the Jews that unless they repented they would experience hell within....anguish and torment of soul as they saw their nation destroyed and they experiences historic shame.
Nooo. The Bible is about how God chose a small insignificant nation and a people through which He would come in human form to save sinners from their sin. We are saved by accepting the provision God made for us so that we would not have to taste death (physical or spiritual). If we reject God’s gift and loving provision, we accept the resulting consequence of being eternally separated from His presence. In His presence are “pleasures forevermore” and in Him “is no darkness at all”. So long as there is darkness in us, and you can be assured that there is, we cannot be allowed into the presence of a perfect and Holy God. God is our Source of Life. Being cut off from that Life, means death. We don’t and can’t save ourselves. That is prideful thinking. This is why Jesus was sent to be our righteousness. Because we aren’t righteous. If we think we are, we need to humble ourselves. We simply must confess that we are not righteous enough, nor could we ever be by our own good works or trying to “earn” salvation. That is why we find rest in Jesus from the endless striving of man-made religion. Religion tells us that we must DO. Jesus tells us that we must believe that He is God. Why? So that one day when we stand before God, God can legally excuse our guilt because Jesus has taken our place and has taken on the consequences that WE deserve to bear. Accept this free gift or reject it. THIS is what the Bible is about. Believe and be saved. The simplicity of God’s gift is beautiful.

Brian Hyde What about the afterlife? The Bible mentions the afterlife.
