Am I going to go to hell?
yephora:
I mistakenly thought you called yourself a Christian. Otherwise I wouldn't have quoted the New Testament to you.
No matter though. The Tanach will do:
“The sinners in Zion are terrified; trembling has seized the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring flame? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?” (Yeshayah/Isaiah 33:14).
“Their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be extinguished” (Yeshayah/Isaiah 66:24).
“Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake. Some shall live forever, others shall be an everlasting horror and contempt” (Daniel 12:2).

I concede defeat to you yephora. I have consulted authority and it is true that wicked people would be condemned to conscious agony in 'hell' after death.
You have revealed my doctrinal ignorance.
I am going to leave now and do more study before I post again.
G-d bless you! :)
yephora:
No, Get thee, you have won. In 'defeat' you have believed Biblical truth. That is a win by any measure :)
wonderfulgoy:
'And let not your imagination give you hope that the grave will be a place of refuge for you; for perforce were you formed, and perforce were you born, and perforce you live, and perfoce you die, and perforce you will in the Hereafter have to give account and reckoning before the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be he.' (Aboth)
We would all be free to sin with impunity if there was no reckoning at the end of our lives. I.e., life would be worthless, carefree, just like the liberal hippies and the Darwinists assured us it was.
yephora:
Exactly. Saying there is no reckoning is like saying there is no God. And if there is no God, everything is permissible.
Which is why there are atheists, deviants, Darwinists, secular humanists, Communists, Maoists, pagans, satanists . . .
