Why don't Jews believe in Hell?

[fr0d0]

Fulfilling the Torah was the task of a first century rabbi. The technical term for interpreting the Scripture so it would be obeyed correctly was -fulfill-. To interpret Scripture incorrectly so it would not be obeyed as God intended was to -destroy- the Torah. Jesus uses these terms to describe his task as well (Matt. 5:17-19). Contrary to what some think Jesus did not come to do away with God's Torah or Old Testament. He came to complete it and to show how to correctly keep it. One of the ways Jesus interpreted the Torah was to stress the importance of the right attitude of heart as well as the right action (Matt. 5:27-28 ).

Jesus didn't change the law, or abolish it... instead he interpreted it correctly. As I said, and is reiterated many times in the gospels: Jesus was challenged by those who's profession it was to interpret the law because they had twisted it to fulfil their own aims. There is no de-jewification implied in my statement, if you interpreted it in that way.
