Why don't you invite strangers to live in your house, you're the fundamentalist Christian? You never know, one of them might be named Emmanuel, and maybe God Jr got his name right this time.
Where did that user ever say anything about housing illegal aliens? They don't seem to have any problem whatsoever getting their own housing. Heck, it's easier for them to find housing here in the Bronx than it is for me, and I was born here.
No, it's very simple: Find any mention at all of anything remotely resembling Heaven or Hell in the Old Testament.
You'll go down in the history books, because to date, nobody has, because there's no such thing in the Torah/Old Testament. But it's a big book, so maybe somebody missed something.
No, I'm not trying to tell you that. Those are facts.
Yahweh was a tribal God, it's in the Bible you know. But Heaven and Hell aren't, nor is Satan. Those are Christian beliefs derived from Zoroastrianism. The whole of existence ultimately leading into a battle between good and evil is central to Zoroastrianism. That too became a Christian belief. Jews didn't believe in a spiritual plane of existence either. That's Zoroastrian true too.
Quite frankly, I have no idea why the Old Testament is in the Bible, because the New Testament has far less connection to it than it does with Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Roman paganism, and Mithraism - the template for Jesus often described as part of Zoroastrianism but actually an Iranian belief that goes even farther back...
