Interesting
When he was inspired to greatness, he was NOT aware of his Arab father...
Since he was a teen-ager [Jobs] had made occasional efforts to locate his biological family. He had nearly given up when he discovered, at the age of 27, that his biological parents had another child later whom they had kept, his younger sister. For reasons of privacy, Jobs explains, he won’t discuss his biological parents or how he ultimately tracked down his sister.

It appears that he rejected YHvH and His Salvation
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
and instead embraced nothingness.
I hope, that in his last day he re-embraced God... We’ll never know, I guess. But certainly his inspiration CAME from faith.
You know some people don’t believe that, but from what i read that people will indeed get one more chance

He'll get another chance, same as everyone, when the time comes.
You seem to be wrong;
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
here is what YHvH says about reincarnation. Hebrews 9:27
And inasmuch as it is appointed
for men to die once
and after this comes judgment,
Did Paul, the student of Gamiel
write the Book to the Hebrews ?
He'll get another chance, same as everyone, when the time comes.
Not according to the Bible:
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (John 11:24)
One must believe on the Son while he lives. When he is dead (physical death), there is no other opportunity to receive forgiveness of sins. According to Jesus when one dies, one immediately goes to heaven or hell. See his account of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke chapter 16.
And it came to pass, that the beggar (Lazarus) died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazaraus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.(Luke 16:22b-14)
There is a great and impassable gulf between them. Nothing can be done to ease the rich man's torment which will last forever. Now is the acceptable time, not later. All who put their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ to save them will not be disappointed like the rich man.
yep. Went to the other side
