Death is concept distorted by the imaginations of men. No one can come back to tell you what death truly is so why on earth would humans just assume death means no more existence for the seemingly nonfunctioning soul? In Judaism. G-d tells us that our souls renew, that they live on for eternity with G-d. What is a soul without a body? Is it anything at all? What came first in creation? The soul came first, the body followed. Some Christians will argue Heaven as being a different place in a cloud where good people ascend. I will often argue a point derived from Adam and Eve that Christians always bring up when it comes to this argument. Both Christians and Jews can agree that all humans were born immortal, that is, until something changed this thinking in the Garden of Eden. Christians will often argue that this is humanity's punishment, they state that we have to die because Eve sinned against G-d's Word while G-d remains ruling over us for all eternity. This is not the case. It is my firm belief that the story of Adam and Eve signifies a lesson that most have never caught a glimpse of. The apple that Eve ate despite the Will of G-d was G-d showing His creations, for the very first time, that we have free will. He wanted to show us that we as humans are not meant to be slaves to an all-powerful puppet master. Rather, we have choices and the ability to make those choices ourselves. Above all, it is important here to note that, G-d does not make mistakes. If we humans were born immortal, we are still immortal. G-d would not destroy the life he created for a human to make room for another brand new creation. All teachings of the Torah tell us that Judaism is a religion focused on embracing life instead of focusing on an afterlife. However, what is life without death? How can one truly cherish anything, whether it be inheriting wealth or life itself, if one is born into a world without anything to lose? When someone has nothing to lose, what will one have to live for?
