D
Jesus is not telling a story that includes false doctrines. It may sound like it to you but that is why it is parabolic. Jesus is not teaching that a dead person sprit can survive death he is teaching just the opposite! When the non elect dies they are dead dead period. Hell is the Grave. To go to the grave is to go to hell. Hell is not a physical place were God tortures you forever and ever watching you gnaw your tongue and weep and curse while worms cover you and eat you slowly but never fully consuming you. That doctrine is from the mind of men. God is infinity more merciful to the lost than man himself.
Lu 12:41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
Ps 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
Mr 4:13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
Eze 17:2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
Lu 12:41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
Ps 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
Mr 4:13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
Eze 17:2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
24 And he cried out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.’ Luke 16:24
This whole story except for the first sentence or two is all about life after death and the grave is never even mentioned in it! Why would Jesus tell a story of hell being a place of torment and not the grave?
