Then there will surely be NT evidence of another account using literal people. It's very simple. There are none.
Just as you accused those who look at it as a parable being "annihilationists", we can turn that right back around at you for you not looking at it as a parable because of your view of the "eternal hellfire torture" doctrine

I am not arguing for annihilationism here in GT.
It is against the rules which I fully support until they change.

I am talking about the Parable of Lazie and Richie, and whether or not it is a parable.
If someone wants to see the evidence for annihilationism, there is an excellent thread in UT.
(here's a link: http://www.christianforums.com/t7603478/)
But I will not be discussing it here, until and unless the rule changes.
(Which I fully support, unless it were to change.)

But you have ZERO proof. We have detailed proof. You can't even find another account with a literal person.

We gave detailed proof.
The definiton of parable.
The fact that all the authorities include is their lists of parables.

There is no proof for the "Taint a parable" side.

How bout the parable of the "Valley of the Bones" in Ezekiel 37 where YAHWEH mentions Israel as symbolizing the bones?

http://www.christianforums.com/t7515660-4/
What is the "Valley of Bones in Ezek 37 all about?

Rotherham) Ezekiel 37:1 The hand of Yahweh I being upon me, he carried me forth in the spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of a plain,--and the same was full of bones;
11 Then said he unto me, Son of Adam. These bones are all the house of Israel,--
Lo! they are saying. 'dried are our bones, and lost is our hope, we are quite cut off!

How can that be, if the Ressurrection and Throne Judgement of Revelation hadn't occurred yet

Prove that the man who died in the parable is still alive today.
While he is at it, prove that Lazarus is still up in Abraham's bosom

Rotherham] Reve 20:5 The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years were ended.
This is the first resurrection.
6 Happy and holy, is he that hath part in the first resurrection: upon these, the second death hath no authority;
but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ and shall reign with him for the thousand years.
