Answer 1

no

hell is a christian concept, a jew would never threaten another person with anything like that

rightous gentiles - anyone who follows the 7 noahide laws

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noahide_Laws

hell is translated as Sheol the verses are slightly different, also the meaning of Sheol

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheol

In Hebrew, Sheol (שאול, Sh'ol) is the "abode of the dead", the "underworld", "the common grave of mankind" or "pit".[1] In the Hebrew Bible, it is a comfortless place beneath the earth, beyond gates, where both the bad and the good, slave and king, pious and wicked must go after death to sleep in silence and oblivion in the dust. Sheol is the common destination of both the righteous and the unrighteous dead, as recounted in Ecclesiastes and Job

Answer 2

The Hebrew word used in those verses is sheol. The root of the word is "question." Therefore, "one goes down to sheol" (the unknown). There is a sort of hell in Judaism, but it is actually more like the Catholic purgatory where one goes for a short period of "cleansing." You can find more at this website. There is no dogma in Judaism so each person has their own "beliefs." We differentiate between our denominations by "actions" not "beliefs." It is much more difficult for Jews to reach the afterlife than for gentiles because Jews are bound by the 613 commandments -- gentiles are bound by only the seven Noahide laws.

Answer 3

Since Hell is a Christian concept, I'm going to assume they will say no.

I am not up on my modern Judism, but as for Biblical Judism:
Pre-exilic Judism (Like Saduccism) had no afterlife.
Post-exilic Judism (2nd Temple Judism) was mostly "Righteous Jews will get resurrected when YHVH fixes the world to live forever with him."

Answer 4

there is no Jewish hell, or heavenly afterlife. these concepts seem to have appeared with Christianity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell#Rabbinic_Judaism

i think if you read the bible in its original Jewish conception heaven is where god dwells not where the dead go to. and hell would have been translated from the words Gehenna or Sheol and again these are not the places of eternal torture. i think it's lost in the translation. your adding christian concepts to words that mean essentially different things.

Answer 5

No, That is why Jews do not actively go after converts.

The optimum a non-Jew needs to do is follow the seven noachide laws.

Answer 6

no, gentiles don't go to hell. and the reason you are finding the world "hell" in your "old testament" is because you are reading a christian version.
