Oh, crossnote.....
Look at the parable that Jesus Christ was telling the Pharisee IN CONTEXT...
Luke 16:19-31 King James Version (KJV)
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 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.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
The Pharisees boasted in Abraham as their father and that they had all the writings of Moses and the Prophets - just puffed up with pride and human reasoning and absolutely just as lost as the Gentiles. Right there in front of them stood the Human Fulfillment of the Law of Moses and the writings of the Prophets proclaiming the Messiah.
Those Pharisees would not be going to Abraham's bosom upon death but, would be going to Hades (Hell). Jesus Christ was warning them.
Upon death, the ONLY ONE able to cross the Great Chasm is Jesus Christ alone because He alone has the keys to Death and Hades (Hell).
I greatly enjoy snuggling with the Holy Spirit with God's Word....just reading slowly and asking tons of questions and pondering all His answers.....The Holy Spirit is the BEST TEACHER OF GOD'S WORD!
In humility, just totally relying on the Holy Spirit to teach me...He and I both know I won't learn or know anything without Him - The Spirit of Truth. We have a great time!
Oh goodness crossnote......more labels.....now it's "universalism".... I know nothing about "universalism" nor do I care to.
I agree!
There is ONLY ONE WAY of Salvation....believing, receiving and loving the absolute Truth that Jesus Christ is the ONLY Savior. All lost souls need the Blood and Body of Jesus Christ which cleanses us from our sins and gives us the Righteousness of God IN CHRIST and we are sealed with the Holy Spirit.
Believing that Jesus Christ, the only Savior can even save lost souls from Hades (Hell) because He has the keys of Death and Hades (Hell) and no souls perish in Hades (Hell) is NOT contrary to the Gospel.
