"The existence of the afterlife is not stated explicitly in the Torah itself, because as human beings we have to focus on our task in this world. Though awareness of an eternal reward can also be an effective motivator."


So what does that tell you about the New Testament? Could it be just man made fiction?

Jesus is not the G-d of the Tanakh(Old Testament) and the idea of G-d becomming a man is blasphemy along with G-d getting sacrificed. All this is from Mithra and Greek Paganism.

As you pasted, Judaism focuses on this life while Christians try to scare people with the idea that they will burn in hell unless they accept Jesus. Jews believe that everyone goes to heaven, Jew and non-Jew and that there is a place similar to purgatory where you review your life and see your mistakes and how you could have lived a better life, then enter heaven.

The books in the New Testament were written long after Jesus died and at times included more books and fewer books before it's current list of books. So it is obvious the books were chosen for political reasons.

There was a hell in Judaism. It was referred to as Sheol .The hebrew word for hell. There was no deliverence from Sheol, unless you lived a sinfree life on earth. That's the reason for the Messiah. He lived a sinless life died on the cross went to Sheol and took the keys to hell and damnation so 'That whosoever believeth in Him shall not die but shall have eternal life". T4
