> Ecc 9:5,6,10 Psalms 146:3,4, Psalm 115:7,-Thank you. I am not widely read and needed guidance. You have quoted the OT, and the way I was taught, Judaism holds that there is no reference of any major sort to a Heaven. We are told to trust in God in the afterlife. There is no emphasis on Satan. I've been taught that is a Christian concept. So my thoughts about an afterlife are really on my own. None of the quotes talks about souls, and in my mind if souls enter an afterlife they carry soul/consciousness with them. Souls are discussed and recognized (Neshamah in Hebrew). Animals also are considered to have souls (Nefesh). With our different backgrounds, I can see why we look at it differently.
