KJV............What bible are you reading...my bible study notes clearly state that it is indeed NOT the same Lazerus as in John 11.

Now if this is another Lazarus the words of Christ hold true by the resurrection of another Lazarus and Christ himself.What bible are you reading...my bible study notes clearly state that it is indeed NOT the same Lazerus as in John 11.
`Now if this is another Lazarus the words of Christ hold true by the resurrection of another Lazarus and Christ himself.
Lets say this parable is talking about them dying before the earthquake, they both die and the rich man goes one place and Lazarus another. They are both conscious.

Either way you look at it they are both conscious.
I don't think you can say Christ would teach a parable of things that can't be true. A parable is not a fable. Fables are based on lies, parables are based on truths. When Christ speaks of things of Heaven, He speaks truths.`
The Lazerus that would have been resurrected at the time of Christ`s ressurection died before the earthquake.
You lost me on which Lazarus you are talking about here. You imply that this is Mary and Marthas brother. He was resurrected well before Christ was.
The other Lazerus doesn`t matter since a Parable is not based on fact, but a LESSON or EXAMPLE. A parable is a short tale that illustrates universal truth, one of the simplest of narratives. It sketches a setting, describes an action, and shows the results. It often involves a character facing a moral dilemma, or making a questionable decision and then suffering the consequences. As with a fable, a parable generally relates a single, simple, consistent action, without extraneous detail or distracting circumstances
The point of the parable is that when you store up riches on earth, you rob yourself of Heaven. If you are poor and humble like the Lazerus in the story, which is what it was, you shall be rewarded.
I thank you for helping me to see this more clearlyOf course they are conscious in the story but it`s just not FACT of what you are attempting to show me.
Who are you addressing Walt?

I never called a Parable a fable, I called it a story...then I quoted the definition of a parable as is accepted. Jesus taught many things through parables but it doesn`t mean they were all based on real people or factual events. There`s just no evidence for that...or am I wrong....I don't think you can say Christ would teach a parable of things that can't be true. A parable is not a fable.

This would make that the only parable not possible, spoken untruthfully.I never called a Parable a fable, I called it a story...then I quoted the definition of a parable as is accepted.

Do we see the thunders and not hear them? Do we not see the seven lightnings first?All that don' see the Seven Thunders .walt2000
All others parables are based on events that can actually happen. Are you saying this parable is based on an event that can not happen? i.e. not possible, spoken untruthfully.I`m not sure what that means...lol
I`m simply saying that it`s nothing more than a lesson, as to the other parables.
