Is there a promised afterlife in judiasm?

answer: How can others conceive of a loving G-d that would d*man people to eternal torment for not believing in Him? Those that aren't righteous when they die, are separate from G-d for a short period and then move on.

What is hateful to you, do not do to others - that is the sum of the Torah - Hillel.

there are many views because the afterlife isn't described in Judaism. Most Jews don't focus on the afterlife, they let G-d worry about that. Jews focus on the here-and-now: keeping G-d's commandments, studying Torah, caring for others and helping to repair the world.

Some Jews believe that when someone dies and they are righteous, they go to join G-d immediately. If they aren't righteous they spend a short time away from G-d.

Some Jews believe that we enter a sleep-like state until the Messiah/Messianic age and then join in the new world to come.

Some Jews believe in reincarnation until the Messiah/Messianic age or until one becomes righteous enough to join G-d.

I see what you're getting at, If god offered a dollar off at the car wash a lot of folks might pass on that. Or free fries with the purchase of his holy word. Sorry god. I'll just go ahead and live in sin. It takes a good prize like eternal life or a new Corvette or sumpin to reel in the masses.

We are because we were and we will be.

It's time to pay attention to current genetic

discoveries dealing with the relationship between

frequencies and bosons.

Creation is a cycle of energy that forms because

every quark formats with it's given center-frequency.

Time and space are merely by-products of this

phenomenon of nature.

Jews believe that the Messiah will come back to earth and raise the dead, and the rest of them will be immortal HERE ON EARTH

they do not have a 'heaven' where their souls go after death, that was entirely a new idea from Jesus

We believe there is reward in the world to come, but our duty is to be the best we can in this life, Keep Torah, repair the world, take responsibility for our own actions.

We are told in the Scriptures that no one can die for the sins of another. Each is judged on his/her own merit.

yes, it's called olam haba i think, but i don;t know how many people believe it. the next life is meant to be better than this life or something like that, like all the good deeds you do in this life are meant to pay off in the next life, but i dont think there is such thing as hell in the next life

A Jewish friend once told me that Judaism is about living this life, and it is ambiguous about what happens afterwards. I don't know how common this belief is amoung Jews though.

I think so. Because they believe in a coming Messiah. They just dont believe it was Yeshua.

So everything the OT says about the Messiah they believe.

Im thinking there is something of it in Psalms, Daniel, Exekiel, Isaiah.....

Yes.

Yes there is.Also its NAIVE not neive.
