Understand the original writing was not of man. No government to this day could have written the scripture.
The ORIGINAL. Exactly. G-d would not leave the creatures here that were to someday leave this world to go and create or colonize other worlds, without a guidebook and a primer. Job is it.
Whatever manifestations of our Creator there were stopped when a people was risen up to teach the rest of the world the laws as they were handed down.
And those who were given the Laws have been persecuted for it ever since. No one wanted the morality, the idea that what you do on this world transcends this world and has repercussions beyond what you see here.
CaptRon was right about Orthodox Jews not believing in hell. Hell is a purely Christian construct. The sleep of the righteous is the death that ends when the world is reborn. The death of the evil, the conscienceless, is endless. The Abyss. The Pit. There is no return from that death.
