>> Anyone have a definitive answer? Is an (otherworldly) afterlife part of Jewish religious canon, any sect? Hohn, Actually the definitive answer is well known. After-Life is NOT a part of the original judaic religious beliefs (the part that evolved in Iraq, before the migration to Egypt, and after the return to Babylon). Though at the time of Jesus, there was a strand that was incorporating the concept of after life as reward for virtuous earthly life. I think the desciples of John the Baptist were in this group. Which is why there was such affinity between John and Jesus. There are a few places in the old testament that explicitly state the expectation that when a person dies they go into darkness regardless of how they lived their life. Sarmad edit.
