Good points Dave,
I must ask you what you think Gehenna is...you talked a bit about Sheol, but not much about Gehenna. Also, if we are to get rid of greek influence, which I am in agreement, why do you call Messiah "Jesus" ? Lets call Him by his name in Aramaic or Hebrew.
Another question, do you think Judaism today or even in Talmudic times was influenced by greek thought on this? Do you think we can get some insight on 1st century belief about Sheol and Gehenna by reading Mishnah/Talmud?
