The afterlife and intervention.

Peace and blessings.

  1. Your opinion is known regarding the afterlife, and you are unsure whether it is a tradition or a teaching from the Torah (and you are not convinced of this).

And so is your opinion that God does not intervene in human affairs.
And so, where is the God who does justice and judgment? Who rewards the wicked? Where does this take place?
After all, the guidance of God that is written in the Torah is not supposed to disappear. And if it is neither here nor there, then where?
2. I understand that even without pay I am supposed to do the truth, but what mental motivation is there for that? Why would I work and enter a different reality and not remain in imagination? Let’s say I am wrong, so what? Why would I give up the desire to live a good life for the sake of an ideal (without conscience). I don’t mean as a reward but as a connection to the future. And living an altruistic life sounds unlikely.

1. I didn’t write that there isn’t, but I have no idea whether there is or isn’t. Your explanation is the accepted basis for assuming that there is a Supreme Court and reward and punishment. It does sound reasonable to me, but my reasonableness is not something on which I base binding principles of faith. 2. See columns 120 and 122.
