Is the Rich Man and Lazarus a True Story? Let’s Compare (Part II). POWER MESSAGE

[@jamesmccluskey7]

Great stuff Phil! Thank you

[@jasonegeland1446]

Always on point, Phil! I wasn't familiar with the unrighteous manager but I find your comparison extremely interesting. Yes, the Luke chapter 16 example reminded me of Matthew 23:13 - "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." It reflects heavily on how the modern mainstream churches are today in preaching limited atonement. 1 Timothy 2:34 perfectly compliments Isaiah 26:9! "With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness." Everyone eventually inheriting the knowledge of the truth will be learning righteousness (one in the same)! I just noticed that 1 Timothy 2:34 is not only saying that everyone will be saved and reconciled fully back to God, but is also successively counting from 1-4 (1, 2, 3, 4/ 1 - Timothy -2-:3-4)! Maybe God showing us his sometimes subtle but intelligent sense of humor (or how big of a dork I am)!? Cheers!

I trusted in the Lord of Jesus Christ as my personal savior into my heart through faith alone, and not of works, by accepting his free gift of salvation, by his grace on February 16, 1996, each day, I confess sins for process of sanctification, to receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior, please refer to Matthew 10:28, John 3:16-18:36, 5:24, 6:37:47, 10:27-29, 14:6, Acts 2:38, 16:30-31, Luke 15:10, Romans 1:16, 3:23, 4:5, 6:23, 10:9-10:13, Ephesians 2:8-10, and Titus 3:5. God bless the world, and thank you for sharing.

@seanmick3093, praise God that He revealed His Son in you (Galatians 1:16) so you could believe and share Him with others :)

The story of the Rich man and Lazarus isint a parable but indeed true in my opinion. Let me give you something to think about first Jesus uses an actual historical person to fulfill his story unlike other stories that had no historical person example the man that builds his house on sand and the prodigal son. Notice that these stories are meant to be parables to fulfill his point because there's no focus on an actual historical person, But instead he focuses on the circumstances. Now we go back to the rich man and Lazarus, Abraham is mentioned and not only mentioned but he was having an interaction with the rich man why would Jesus use an actual person and put words in his mouth when he never said it in the first place just to make it a parable, whenever Jesus mentions an Old testament figure it's always consistent with the scriptures He never adds words other than what the scripture says. Jesus is perfect and he will not falsify Abraham by putting him in a story and making up words to fit his parable unless it was true and we know Jesus is truth, so his representation of Abraham has to be true and not made up. This is consistent of it being a true story. Just like the other stories that I mentioned Jesus does not mention a particular person so he's able to carry on the story and put words in individual's mouths because there not real. But since the interaction were from a real person he cant do that unless he's a liar. Jesus cannot lie about a person by falsy adding words in his mouth, the story has to be true there's no way around it in my opinion. Sheol/hades is a realm with two divisions-a place of blessing and a place of judgment (Matthew 11:23; 16:18; Luke 10:15; 16:23; Acts 2:27-31). The abodes of the saved and the lost are both generally called “hades” in the Bible. The abode of the saved is also called “Abraham’s bosom” (KJV) or “Abraham’s side” (NIV) in Luke 16:22 and “paradise” in Luke 23:43. The abodes of the saved and the lost are separated by a “great chasm” (Luke 16:26). When Jesus died, He went to the blessed side of sheol, or paradise. (Some believe, based on a particular interpretation of Ephesians 4:8-10, that Jesus took believers with Him from sheol to another place of bliss that we now call heaven. More likely, Ephesians 4 refers to the ascension of Christ.) All the unbelieving dead go to the cursed side of hades to await the final judgment. All the believing dead go to the blessed side of hades to await the resurrection. Did Jesus go to sheol/hades? Yes, according to Jesus’ own words, He went to the blessed region of sheol. So the story of Lazarus and the rich man and Abrahams boosom is consistent in we're Jesus went after his crucifixion, hense the story is true

Dear GodWithUS- I could not disagree more, and have posted 4 "Rich Man and Lazarus Videos" within my "Say What, No Hell" playlist. Here is one of them. I believe in God with us...all of us...some of us just don't realize it yet. Have a blessed day and thanks for watching and commenting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6eteHSqoLarmqMsi=GySFyGQUMVNqatWj

[@GODWITHUS0712]

Completely disagree with you again brother look at the key figures in the story don't circle around Abraham and his significance yes you can make up Lazarus you can even make up the rich man but one thing you can't make up is a historical figure that actually existed and if Jesus was going to mention him and put words in his mouth that's truly makes him a liar there's no way around it just to make the story a parable. And we know Jesus is God and he can not falsify someone's words if that person that he's referring to never said it. Plus the story is consistent to Jesus resurrection where did he go after he died and resurrected? Not straight to heaven but Abrahams bossom just like we're the rich man was.

[@PhilHenryPowerGospel]

@@GODWITHUS0712 appreciate you calling me "brother," since, as I sense, we both believe in, follow, and love Jesus. If you are of the opinion that tuis is a true story and not a parable, then we can agree to disagree here. And yes, I agree that Jesus went to Sheol/Hades when He died... to empty it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn3aaoWlq8iDbZIsi=c2YL0tvySLr0AAoR Best wishes.

[@GODWITHUS0712]

Love you too brother Amen

[@truthseekers1620]

no it was a parable

[@JoyRam13]

So Jesus didn't tell true story meaning Jesus LIED?

[@henrywealthmanagement50]

I would not say it that way, JoyRam 13. If you watched the full video with understanding, as well as the one that preceded it, you would see what the definition of a "parable" is. He told 38 of them. Let me also if you understand every word of the bible to be taken literally? If so, when He told us in Mathew 18:9 that if we lust, we are to gouge out our eyes, how many Christians have obeyed that literal mandate? I ask you to look for the deeper meaning. Thank you for writing.
