Bible Note: Forgive me DairyLeader56 for the late response. For you to state that "if the Bible says that the Rich man lifted up his eyes from hell, and that he was in torment then its true." is presumptuosly speaking because if it is literal as some would believe, then Jesus was teaching contrary to the scriptures. We know this cannot be. The only conlusion is that it must have been symbolic. I speak because I care and love my brothers and sisters in Christ. I do not wish evil for any of them but that they should walk in Truth. (Amos 3:3 "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?") Your brother in Christ, Phil |
