One such reference is Ecclesiastes 9:5: "For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten." If The Bible is literally true and Ecclesiastes is a legitimate book of the Bible, this should be a troubling statement for believers.

The concept of heaven as a place of reward entered Judaism during the Babylonian Exile, but was not universally adopted until after the first century CE.
