Okay that was an ambiguous response and not much of an answer. At least you got the soul definition right.

Psalm 115:17 KJV
The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 KJV
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Psalm 6:5 KJV
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

Isaiah 38:18 KJV
For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

The religious are right. Now is what matters.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 KJV
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Indeed, they are right about a lot of things. I like following this channel. I used to attend shul. They have a lot of good points like the Ten Commandments, the seventh-day sabbath and especially there is no such thing as a trinity. My people, the Seventh-day Adventists used to believe that.

The book of Iyov (Job) and Daniel speak most clearly of a resurrection. See Job 19:23-27. He believed he would himself see his redeemer. Gabriel the angel told Daniel in chapter 12:2 and 3 showed that those whose names were written in the book, the LORD would raise from the dead into everlasting life. Another resurrection awaited those destined to “everlasting shame and contempt.”

And after his judgment is done: The LORD said of the wicked Isaiah 33:11 KJV
Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

He said of the righteous and wise in Malachi 4:3 KJV
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

Isaiah 66:22-24 KJV
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. [23] And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. [24] And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

I believe the Ketuvim and the Nevi’im to be just as inspired from God as the Torah written by Moshe. They do not contradict.

It’s interesting, your interpretation of Gan Edan. Though, I feel it might be a more modern take. I think the initial reference to Gan Edan as a paradise shaped the language. And, THAT is why people say a person has gone to Gan Edan, when they simply mean “a better place.” It’s NOT necessarily the same thing, per se.

SO when you are left with the choices you made, then what? thanks

Fire and brimstone WAS originally a Jewish idea, from some part of Biblical times, or something. But, dogma has shifted some since then.

[newheritagecommunity]

The central fact of Israel's hope is in the resurrection, declared in Psalm 2, the begotten Son of God. In 1952, Dead Sea scrolls were discovered in Cave 4 called the "Messianic Apocalypse". The Messiah's ministry of resurrection is reiterated in these ancient documents with an obvious reference to Isaiah 61:1-3. The scroll identifies someone who "... will heal the wounded, and revive the dead and bring good news to the poor." It is clear that at least some of the authors of these documents clearly understood the central nature and ministry of the coming Messiah, most certainly based on their intimate knowledge of the prophetic writings in the Tenach...that ministry, the resurrection of the dead.

This reality of the resurrection and Hashem's power to raise the dead cannot be overestimated. Death is the inevitable result of sin. The Messiah was prophesied to become sin, bearing all of it in His body, and then to rise from death to eternal immortal glory (Isa.53). This wonderful fact has proliferated throughout the world, the most important and powerful message ever delivered to mankind, not to mention bringing ethical monotheism and Torah values to the gentile world.

We Jews should believe in the afterlife, after all, it was a Jew who said, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die."

No I don't believe in hell or heaven because understanding how evolution works and neuroscience I don't think souls exist or after life.
