A parable is a real life situation to tell a spiritual truth. Unlike a fable it uses stories people can relate to. An example is the parable of the “Good Samaritan.” It begins, “a man went from Jerusalem to Jericho.” The road is real, levites and priests are real, and samaritans are real. Just because the “the rich man and Lazarus “ is a parable doesn’t mean hell isn’t real. Again, a parable is a real life situation to teach a spiritual truth.
So in the intermediate state there will be eyes ( v. 23), people living inside the clothing of a giant Abraham (v. 23), flesh and bone (v. 24), water (v. 24), and tongues (v. 24)? That sure is a lot of physical language for disembodied souls....
@@TKK0812 A key to understanding this scripture is to try to place ourselves as the listeners in Jesus’ day. The listener understood the phrase as a place of comfort and nearness to Abraham. As to what we will be like in the afterlife today is understood better by what Jesus said to the Sadducees, “He is not the God of the dead but of the living.” Matthew 22:32. Also, Jesus said to the thief on the cross, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with me in Paradise.” Luke 23:43.
At 34:15 Doug is suggesting that the obvious teaching of this "parabel" is false. He has to because 7th Day people believe in soul sleep. And this story whether true or parabolic teaches something else.
“Camel passing through the eye of a ,” is in erroneous interpretation of the Hebrew word. The correct translation is, it’s easier for a rope to pass through the eye of a needle. In Hebrew, the words, Camel, and rope are spelled almost identical, the last letter determines the difference. If it’s a short stroke, it means camel if it’s a long stroke means rope..
I prophesy whatever Jesus Christ prophesied i understand it better in agreement 🤝 with amazing facts in Yeshua name Amen
Very good commentary on this The best I have heard
Very important point to note here is Jesus himself Gave the Rich man the Riches meaning he can take it away from his also especially the proud
Sorry you are correct
