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" doctrineThen there will surely be NT evidence of another account using literal people. It's very simple. There are none.
But you have ZERO proof. We have detailed proof. You can't even find another account with a literal person.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![]()
We gave detailed proof.But you have ZERO proof. We have detailed proof. You can't even find another account with a literal person.
There sure is. It's consistent with eternal punishment in the NT.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?But you have ZERO proof. We have detailed proof. You can't even find another account with a literal person.

Prove that the man who died in the parable is still alive today.He died, he's still VERY much alive and in torment in the fire. Prove otherwise.
While he is at it, prove that Lazarus is still up in Abraham's bosomProve that the man who died in the parable is still alive today.
I have already proven that he was alive in the fire. The NT term ETERNAL is clear enough for me.Prove that the man who died in the parable is still alive today.
The term eternal is not used in the parable, so this parable is not much help in proving that the rich man is in eternal torment.I have already proven that he was alive in the fire. The NT term ETERNAL is clear enough for me.
I don't have to prove what Luke 16 clearly says.While he is at it, prove that Lazarus is still up in Abraham's bosom
So explain how he is dead but alive in torment in fire.The term eternal is not used in the parable, so this parable is not much help in proving that the rich man is in eternal torment.
We are asking for proof of what Luke 16 doesn't say, and the traditionalists claim that it does say.I don't have to prove what Luke 16 clearly says.
I don't have to prove what Jesus said is wrong.We are asking for proof of what Luke 16 doesn't say, and the traditionalists claim that it does say.
