Yes, you need correction.

Jesus tells a story of a rich man the jews knew as Dimas (or so) who was in hell suffering torments..while Abraham advised that there are prophets still on the earth preaching. And his (Dimas) brothers should hear them.

There are other scriptures, but no time to type much.

Was it a "REAL LIFE STORY" or an illustration? I want to know know your level of understanding... Kindly reply.

Jerryherd:



The Sun UK and Daily mail with all sort of Bullshit News to sell their tabloid and scare some people

Why not wait for an autopsy or return of test before publishing the News

RIP

.

When did that start, I couldn't seem to remember? Waiting for autopsy before a death is reported by the media? The word "update" never exist in your dictionary? They only reported the death, they didn't say what caused it

It was both. Cause Jewish historians say they knew who the rich man was.

Also, if you claim "just an illustration", then why will God give an example based on a false reality to make a point. God has never done so in His word.

God says what He means and means what He says. God is a God of Truth.

RIP to the dead.

People like you are the ones dumping 2 years old children on the streets in the name of witchcraft. Shame on you

Jerryherd:


Why not wait to ascertain cause of death from the pathology department.. rather than Runa story a" mother died suddenly why cuddling her baby"

.

Because she actually died while cuddling her baby. How is that difficult for anyone to comprehend?

I guess you no Nothing about literature... There's no "Truth" or "False" in an expression.

If you claim God can't use "False reality" was all the parables of Jesus a true life story including the prodigal?

A parable is a parable.

If you knew biblical literature all parables started with an annotation that clearly showed it was a parable.
Therefore a parable cannot be a false reality because it is an allegory.

Jesus told parables to hide meanings from His enemies. But reveal hidden concepts to His true followers.

The rich man's story was not annoted to be a parable but a story without a hidden meaning. Clearly showing why people should receive His teachings now.

Don't even bother this argument. Even Scholars don't debate it. So don't waste your time trying to form literary smartness with me.

Wow! Thanks for this exposé, I never knew that.

Jeromejnr:


First of all Ecclesiastes is a book a contemplation on a man who is without God as he reasons out the reasons for his existence.
That was why it was also written "money answereth all things" ..Well Jesus said money doesn't.
It's almost a play like the Song of Solomon but more of a contemplation.

As for the second scripture. When Jesus comes back he is coming back just like Enoch prophesied with thousands and thousands of the spirits of the saints who will come back and inhabit their newly transformed bodies that will rise up from the graves and then they will ascend back into heaven with their new glorified bodies.

Jude 1 :14
Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints

Also..the writer of Hebrews writing on when we approach heaven in prayer..and congregating with the saints already there...

Heb 12: 23 ....You have come to the spirits of the righteous ones in heaven who have now been made perfect

If that happened in Naija, no doubt we pinning it on village people...na Dem

How person go just hold him baby die like that

Christ taught in parables. It’s not literal but parables. If you understand Jewish customs then and now , you will understand what Christ Jesus was saying. Also if you allow scriptures to interpret scriptures you will understand that nobody is yet in hell or heaven but Adler in the grave till resurrection at the second coming.
Human errors and ideas have caused damage to this a lot. God can’t lie and don’t forget there are three resurrections. If you don’t know that then I wonder what would I say again.
Many have zeal but no knowledge they follow pastors rather than allow the Holy Spirit to teach them from the Bible alone.
Some also get angry when gently corrected because they have been fed with lies and can’t shake it off.

28years and joined together for like 11yrs ??What's Not adding Up here ,tot its only Blacks that go into this act ?

Summary: that story wasn't a parable. A parable always came with an annotation that it was a parable in the literary text.

A parable was given to hide meanings from Christ's enemies while he always explained the meaning later on to His disciples. The story of the rich man wasn't given to hide a deeper meaning and Christ never needed to explain it. He was pointing out to the crowd on why they should listen to His sermon now and how there wouldn't be a second chance.

The meaning of a parable is clearly defined by Jesus in the scriptures. The Pharisees never knew what hidden meaning a parable had only His disciples. But they understood the Rich man's story.

Finally, Jesus never gives a story or a parable based on a false concept or reality (I.e something not practical in reality). God says what he means and means what He says.

Thank you.

Ok sir

Is this Nairaland? Such measured tones and compassionate responses, as should be expected of normal human-beings in the face of tragedy?

Well, forget black-power, white is power.
