> Bad things will happen to whom, and what kind of bad things? Is this time sensitive, between when the commandments seem reasonable, and when the bad things start to happen?
According to Torah Law any Gentile who accepts the seven commandments will have a portion in the World to Come. This is so provided that one accepts them because G-d commanded them in the Torah. Without that motivation you will begin to rationalize sins and G-d will punish you for those sins.
> who is ever going to know what my motivation for keeping the commandments is?
G-d.
> No one can read my mind.
G-d can.
> At the end of our lives, what happens? Is that the end of our existence? Do we continue to exist? BTW, I honestly want to know what your opinion of eternity is.
The world to come includes the Resurrection of the Dead. The eternal reward in the future will be in the physical world.
How about if I keep the proper motivation for 99 days, then on the hundredth day, I think the commandments are just reasonable? It sounds like God is just waiting to zap me. I kind of believed that when I was a Catholic, but I am an ex Catholic now.
The world to come includes the Resurrection of the Dead. The eternal reward in the future will be in the physical world.
The resurrection of the dead? I assume by that you mean the righteous dead? There are millions and millions of unrighteous dead too. I wonder if you believe in some sort of universalism, where ALL the evil people will be in the world to come?
You did not mention the lake of fire, that was created for the devil and his angels. What about when God will say to the goats 🐐 depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. Doesn’t sound much like an eternal reward to me. I have no intention of experiencing it. I don’t know, but maybe your definition of eternal reward, differs from mine. Maybe when eternity rolls around, we will know for sure, won’t we? Good luck with that. 😀🔥
Please cite the passages from the Torah that state that.
Nobody is obligated to accept your say so, which amounts to nothing more than your opinion, without substantiation from the Torah itself.
