Indifference to the plight of others when it is within his reach to help. Sin of omission. Then they will also answer him, saying: 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?' Then he shall respond to them by saying: 'Amen I say to you, whenever you did not do it to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.' And these shall go into eternal punishment, but the just shall go into eternal life." Matthew 25:44-45 4 Likes |

Ken4Christ: The guy is a watchtower robot. They can't reason beyond what watchtower says. Infact they must not. Else they will be excommunicated. They say hell is the grave. If it is, what torment is in the grave? The Bible talks about hell which is a place of torment. 4 Likes |

Ken4Christ:It was not stated that he humiliated him, infact he never stopped him from eating from the scraps from his table. His sin was that he could help but didn't. He was indifferent to the plight of Lazarus. Read Mat. 25 Then they will also answer him, saying: 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?' Then he shall respond to them by saying: 'Amen I say to you, whenever you did not do it to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.'

Ken4Christ: God bless you. They are not different from Robots. Their thoughts are programmed and fashioned according to Watchtower dictates. As a Winner Chapel member I will not take everything coming from Oyedepo hook and sink because he is human. Although he is led by the spirit but at the same time he is an imperfect being. But this JW , Watchtower is regarded as, as perfect as God. Everything coming from there can't be contested. 2 Likes |

annyplenty: The rich man never show compassion to that poor man. Do you know what it means to eat from the scrambling that fell to the floor? No proud, wicked and uncompassionate human will smell God's presence irrespective of your social status where poor or rich. God doesn't frown on hardworking people. He blesses their work and make them successful. However, you hsveo show mercy to the poor. You have to love everyone equally. There are tenets, teachings, laws and other guidance in the word of God. Follow and practice them. Allowing a human like you scramble for food with dogs show how callous that person is. 4 Likes |

FRANCISTOWN: Hmmm. Just to correct some erroneous claims here. First, Abraham was so rich he had his own private army. He equally died very rich. Isaac his son was so rich the country of Gerar where he went to escape the famine had to ask him to leave, cos he was richer and more powerful than them. Then David, died a very rich king and his successor- his son Solomon, was even richer than him. Your claim that Abraham and David gave all they had and were left with nothing, is incorrect. The life of Abraham can actually be used to explain the question from OP. Despite his stupendous wealth, Abraham was very humble and helpful. When his herdsmen and lots herdsmen quarelled cos the land couldn't contain all their animals, even though he was richer, he asked Lot to choose any part of the land for himself and he (Abraham) will go the opposite direction. When he saw 3 strangers under hot sun, he RAN to meet them and begged them to allow him give them water to wash their feet and some food to eat B4 continuing on their journey. When his servant prepared the food, he SERVED it. When 4 kings attacked Sodom and Gomorrah and took Lot captive, Abraham left his business and led his private army with the help of his friends to attack those kings and rescued Lot. Now compare this, to the character of that rich man with Lazarus. God is not against riches, the problem is when u allow the riches cloud ur sense of humility, charity and love for your fellow men. 2 Likes |

Lemme digress a little...The rich man whose name the Bible didn't mention could be likened to our politicians and elites of nowadays, who always go to the UK to buy properties worth millions of dollars while their states are wallowing in penury. Their Children too buy properties worth over 11m dollars, including those properties fingered by the government as properties bought with a country's stolen funds from a notable politician who once served the nation. The poor man's name was known in the bible. His name was Lazarus who once had sores all over his body and died a poor man. This rich man must have known and identified lazarus when he was still living but chose not to help him otherwise. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned his name and asked that favour from him. He was just living large, riding the most expensive horses in those days, just the way we see them flying private jets today when they're supposed to use that money to give scholarships to the children of the poor and develop their regions. Many of them also don't believe in God. They indulge in all manner of secret societies in which human blood is being requested for rituals. So, the rich man in the bible could be doing all these too and nobody does that would ever make heaven. The rich are mostly being controlled by same spirit since the beginning of the world...ego and greed. From his words, it shows none of his children and family was nice, none believed in, or served God among them otherwise, he wouldn't have wished to send someone to them on earth to preach to them. While on earth, the man didn't do the needful to also warn his family of their way of life cos of heaven. There are believers too who are rich and blessed by God. If they still tow the same path as the rich man in the bible, they'd also end up in hell. In conclusion, Mark 10:25 says, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into God's Kingdom.”. That says it all. 2 Likes |

Ken4Christ: So why are people buried in the ground when they die? According to the parable, your fleshly tongue, fingers and entire human body should be in Hell |

Barristter07:LOL the story is a parable, used for illustration....atleast thats what a parable means moses spent his last 40 yrs in the wilderness so how could the rich man have been there when the israelites didnt really "own" properties per say - they were always on the move, so the rich man wasnt in that era - it was a parable. this lazarus is different from the fellow Jesus rose from the dead |

maticar: You are intelligent, I asked that question to make us realize not everything in that story is meant to be taken as literal. The story didn't happen, its like an idiom that when taken at face value doesn't make any sense. But has much more deeper meaning than conveyed at surface level. Good morning Sir. |
Re: Why Did The Rich Man In Luke 16 Go To Hell? by Barristter07: 10:47am On May 07, 2023 |
maticar: Then we need to ask: are people in hell presently? If yes, the above can't be true, because we know many people teeth follow them to the graves. Not any imaginary location. Take notice of this, while the text said both of them were buried, it continues like they still continue to exist as humans, " the rich man lifted up is Eyes" but we know the eyes of a dead man doesn't function. |
