21 | IS LAZARUS AND THE RICH MAN A PARABLE | Luke 16:19 | SBoone | 156706 | ||
Greetings, I am not a Jehovah's Witness, but I appreciated your comment that different ideas don't pit Christians against people. Your comment "if self-awareness after death is also false, then Jesus is using false doctrines to teach a truth. Parables illustrate truth" is true, but I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion. How do you explain the parable just prior to this in Luke 16:1-9. It seems to me that Christ here is using a negative action and drawing a spiritual positive comparison. This story has bothered me in that Christ uses someone's sinful behavior (squandering anothers possessions) to illustrate a principal that He wants us to follow (being faithful). Is it possible that Jesus simply taught so that those He spoke to could understand the truths He wanted them to understand. If I were a missionary and visited a tribe that believed the sun would punish thier bad behavior. Could I use a story of the sun showing mercy to illustrate the principle of mercy without condoning sun worship? Didn't Paul do something similar in Acts 17:23? God Bless |
