Subject: Did Jesus go to hell? |
Bible Note: In addition, all of Jesus' parables spoke of REALISTIC situations if not actual situations. Lost coins, prodigal sons, and virgins waiting for the bridegroom all refer to situations that really occur, in real places. Not one of Jesus' parables take place in some fantasy realm that doesn't correspond to reality. If the setting of Lazarus and the rich man is a fictitious one, then it is out-of-step with every other parable that Jesus told. Additionally, Jesus would be misleading in providing a fictitious description of the afterlife without indicating that the setting of his tale was a figment of his imagination. "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." --Matthew 25:46 --Joe! |
