Does the Talmud teach a belief in the existence of the burning-forever kind of Roman Hell?

The Jewish concept of punishment is as I have been taught a kind of 'purgatory' where the soul undergoes a painful cleansing process. Eventually, the soul returns to its maker afterwards.

The idea of a physical punishment of 'burning' is more of an anthropomorphized interpretation of a spiritual process. -Which is supposedly more painful than burning.

Yes. Thank you. And more surely, there's the 13th Principle of The RaMBaM (resurrection of the dead). I do have an aversion to allusions of some concepts from other religions, because certain of those concepts seem idolatrous to me. ZC probably understands.

As a Gentile who studies, I do *not* reject the Oral Law, of course. But I only see perfect accuracy in the written Torah and Prophets, which were unaffected by period troubles and emotions. The Oral Torah was written later. That's one thing that makes study more difficult for me. The Prophets didn't write it. Wish that I could study it all within this lifetime.

So there's an answer to one of my own questions and yet another declaration that I don't know much.

God knows I sin.
He knows I tell him I sin.
I try to keep from committing those sins again.
God knows how often I fail.
He knows I tell Him I sin.
He knows I fear Him.
I leave eternity to God.
