I wonder how the Jews of today would view since they are mentioned in it and it was also spoken to them.
[They of course do not read the NT/NC of the Christian Bible]
...
That makes logical sense...The Jews of today are not the Jews of Jesus' day and I do not think they believed the same things so what was said to the Jews of Jesus' day probably is not said to Jews today.
We know you do broI love all you guys.
I may talk too much sometimes, but i mean well.

An example is just that, an example. The truth that was being taught was that if you won't believe the word of God, you won't believe anything.
Nice term eheheI do not see any biblical evidence that it is a parable.
Jesus had an MO when it came to parables. He talked and gave the parable, people were confused every single time(so this is not one of the ones that they just got, because no one got them)
And then he explains it, even the ones they somewhat got.
This is not a parable. It does not follow his MO for parables.

Those who insist that this is not a parable but a true, literal story Yeshua told to describe the condition of the lost in hell must overlook several facts to arrive at that conclusion.
First, Yeshua the Messiah never accuses the rich man of any sin. He is simply portrayed as a wealthy man who lived the good life.
Furthermore, Lazarus is never proclaimed to be a righteous man. He is just one who had the misfortune to be poor and unable to care for himself.
If this story is literal, then the logical implication is that all the rich are destined to burn in hell, while all the homeless and destitute will be saved. Does anyone believe this to be the case?
I think he was accused though... It slightly subtle but I believe it is there.
In luke 16 the story says the man Lazarus was laid at the rich man's gate because he was hoping to get crumbs to feed himself. It says the beggar died with basically only dogs tending to him, which probably hurt.
It is obvious the rich man did nothing about it. He neglected Lazarus so much that dogs where the only comfort to Lazarus. This rich man's sin, as with most rich people, is pride and greed. He ignored the needs of someone less fortunate then himself and did not love Lazarus.
I personally would say, those dogs have more right to be in heaven then the rich man.
IF this is a parable, it is a parable on about the pharisees not needing help and being damned, by Jesus, indicated by him calling them white washed tombs and their throat is an open grave... and the sinner needing Jesus's salvation.

Beware of the dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation/circumcision!

Beware the circumcision!
A priest, a minister and a rabbi decide to see who's best at his job. The test is to go into the woods, find a bear and try to convert it.
After they are done the priest says, "I read to the bear from the Catechism, sprinkled him with holy water and next week is his First Communion."
The minister said, "I found a bear by the stream, preached God's holy word and he let me baptize him in the river."
The rabbi was bandaged from head to foot and said. "Looking back, maybe I shouldn't have started with the circumcision."
I personally would say, those dogs have more right to be in heaven then the rich man.

According to Genesis 1, they have souls?I see that, but I also this as not a parable, so I see that as Souless animals trying to do what they were made for!

What do you make of Psalm 22:16?This is another possible thread derailment!
I do not feel this is correct. I do not think it is, because the bible says that only man was made in his Image.
Animals are not made in his Image.
Psa 22:16
For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
They pierced My hands and My feet;
Jhn 19:6
Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out saying, "Crucify [Him], crucify [Him]!"
Pilate said to them, "Ye take Him and crucify [Him], for I find no fault in Him."
What do you make of Psalm 22:16?
Literal "dogs"?

Just that the thread is older than I expected.
I for one believe that Christ does not make contradictions in his teachings.
So... for me eternal heaven and eternal hell fire are a reality of Christian truth.
What's the recap of opinions here?
God be gracious to me a sinner.
Do 'good' old' thread cancel out new bad threads?
Sounds like a good tradeoff to me.
God be gracious to me a sinner.
Well, it isn't really necromancy.Thread necromania is punishable by extreme tickle torture.
