Bible Note: Dear Brother Tim, I agree with what you have said regarding the identity of Lazarus in Luke 16. However, in my own thinking I would qualify your last statement: "I would have to say that the account is not a parable since Scripture does not call it a parable." The teachings just prior to Lazarus and Dives are the Unjust Steward and the Prodigal Son. Although Scripture does not explicitly state they are parables, they appear to qualify in every other respect. What do you think? In Him, Doc |
