[Vision2020] I like to think there really is a Heaven . . .

[Scott Dredge]

<Jesus Christ is not even mentioned in the OT let alone prophesied.>

Why is this important?  If He had been mentioned in the OT, then he would have been named 'Jesus Christ'.  Although he wasn't mentioned, he still wound up being named 'Jesus Christ'.  He was a can't miss.  Beyond that, there was mention of the eventual coming of a future Messiah in the OT.

<Nor is there such a thing as a "soul" that is separate from the body and survives it after death.>

This is one of those things where proof is left up to the reader.  If I wasn't capable of communicating with other beings, I would not have a consciousness in order to contemplate something such as a 'soul'.

Thanks for the varied replies. I was testing your biblical literacy, specifically knowledge of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. 



In the OT there is no life after death for anybody. If you know of any exceptions I'd like to hear about them.



Nor is there such a thing as a "soul" that is separate from the body and survives it after death. 





In the OT there is no such "place" as a hell because hell has not yet been invented. So if post mortem torture excites you, you'll have to retreat to the Christian New Testament. 





Satan as a personality appears only twice in the OT and here he is a member of God's heavenly household, not an enemy of God.



Jesus Christ is not even mentioned in the OT let alone prophesied. 



Please note that I am not presenting these statements as matters of personal belief. They are simply matters of fact about the Old Testament of the Bible that you can check for yourself.
