Bible Question (short): Fuller understanding required |
Question (full): Steve, thanks for your reply. On reading the Luke 16 parable i.m left with the impression that Lazarus is now comfortable because he was uncomfortable during in life. I think this is at odds with what we know about human developement and how important it is for a child to have its needs met, in order to develope as a whole human being. Or should it be understood as a judgement on the rich man, who appears to have known the name of Lazarus but failed to respond to his need. In that case are we to think that we have to respond to the needs of people if we know their names? I am only beginning to read the bible, so forgive my ignorance. Doris |
