The World to Come
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Is there any reason to believe that the Sages really meant the World to Come literally? Can’t one say that this is just a way to motivate people to observe Torah and commandments? (Also, the World to Come is not mentioned in the Torah.)
Answer
Maybe
How is that plausible? People lied and invented an entire ethos just so others would listen to them? Come on.
