Are you saying jews don't believe in hell?

[jewinthecity]

@fizk there is something called "gihenom" which we believe is a purification process you must undergo before you get to the "sitting in the presence of Godliness" part - if you were a worse person, gihenom is a longer, more painful process, if you were a better person, it's not as bad, but once that's over, we don't believe in a separate heaven and hell - we're all in the same "place" - we just experience it differently.

@jewinthecity Sounds better than an eternity in liquid fire....I'm converting! lol, just kidding.

[jewinthecity]

@fizk :) just to be clear, though, if a person lives a life antithetical to Godliness, we believe that there will be plenty of pain having to be so close to God in the world to come. The difference between Jewish and Christian thinking is that for us, there's not an idea of a devil that acts as a force separate to God or a hell that is separate from the rest of the afterlife. We believe that everything (the satan included) is under God's rule, control, etc.

Do you seriously speak french?!?!?!?

[jewinthecity]

@Dessybaby1233 I seriously pretend to speak French! I studied it in school for many years. I'm not fluent, but I like to put on a good accent! :)

I love the amount of attention to detail you've given to the videos. Many may not

notice though, not being in the design industry. Here's some french for you.

"Ce sont les détails qui font la différence."

Very beautiful thing you are doing here. Thanks.

[theoilysic]

Lady, I think you're doing it wrong. Where's the anger? Where's the fear mongering? Emotional Blackmail? This sounds almost too pleasant to be Religion.

jk. I don't think religion is a bad thing..

but can you maybe post sources from Jewish scriptures? For those of us who're critical thinkers?

[Jacob2Israel]

Great explanation, and you're so cute!
