I do love the truth, and that truth has set me free from the bondage of someones idea that causes division and hate, not love, support, and grace for the weak.

If you lived three hundredth and forty years, with 10 wives, 30 grown children and 60 grandchildren and a whole army of family members that would not make up for what you have lost.

I would not care if you had 10 mansions, 10 Rolls Royces, and 10 billion dollars in the bank, you still can not come out even.

What shall it profit a man if he wins the whole world but loses his own soul?

If you do not love Jesus and follow his commandments you do not love the truth for Jesus is the truth. You are in bondage to sin.

Hebrews 9:27 Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

Sounds pretty simple to me. Do I get a prize?

This much I will tell,
what's lost is nothing to what is found!"

"And all the death that ever was, set next to LIFE,
shall scarcely fill a cup."

--Godric

Happy Resurrection Day!!
This LIFE will soon overtake this dying planet, and ALL will be made new, that God may be ALL in ALL!!

Love for the truth? Let me get this strait, you're the one who "Thinks" they know what awaits us in the Afterlife, yet, you don't know and tell others that you do!

So, go ahead with your Spectral Ideas that you cannot prove are true, and maybe one day, you'll see the light that is staring you right in the face, called, "You Don't Know!"

No, except for the Sadducees, the Jews believed in the resurrection, and in doing so they believed that there is life after death.

I have no problem with you questioning and shedding many religious doctrines, but to believe that your life ends at the end of this physical existence is a very sad position to be in, (I'm not sure you believe that, but you comments seem close to that position).

I may not know what exactly comes next, but I am confident that is it is good. The divine, infinite intelligence, God that brought the impossible together for life on earth, has farther plans and purposes!!

I am at peace and trust the Eternal completely for what happens next.

We all live our lives with some sort of faith in the unseen, we all process information differently therefore the definition of our unseen is different than another's.

So, don't be so critical of others faith, your new founded belief also is based on faith in what you NOW believe.

Loss of fear of the unseen, in my opinion, is the greatest of faith. Faith that the majesty of the cosmos was by design, including good and evil on this earth. Faith that the Eternal, with such ability as is displayed in the physical world hasn't lost His ability to complete what is in motion. I desire to know "Him" as He really is, therefore I continue to seek, critical of human forced interpretations.

The use of the tradition view of hell is the worst of all human manipulations, which instills fear of the Eternal, and is, in fact blasphemy against the Creator.

"Perfect love casts out fear...." yet religion capitalizes on fear, and that is just wrong.

The Jewish Faith holds no real answer to the question, and the Torah says nothing about an Afterlife. The subject is wide open, and, no definitive answer lies within the teachings or doctrine of the Jews.

"Many faiths have definitive teachings about the afterlife. But in answer to the question "What happens after we die?" the Torah, our most important religious text, is surprisingly silent. Nowhere does it discuss the afterlife in detail.

Over the centuries a few possible descriptions of the afterlife have been incorporated into Jewish thought. However there is no definitively Jewish explanation for what happens after we die.

Why Doesn’t the Torah Discuss the Afterlife?

No one knows exactly why the Torah doesn't discuss the afterlife. Instead, the Torah focuses on "Olam Ha Ze," which means "this world." Rabbi Joseph Telushkin believes that this focus on the here and now is not only intentional but directly related to the Israelite exodus from Egypt."

Nope! The only real way you can answer the question is if, YOU, know the answer, which, (no offense), you don't. Any Book can say something, but without solid proof, it's still a mystery.

I'll emphasize this one point: the above Scripture sounds easy enough. But, if we do not truly know how to avoid the negative ramifications of "The Judgment", how can we tell others how?

Your answer on "How", will be different than everyone else's, and the reason is simple; Religion.
