1. These are just your opinions and conjectures and not Bible context.
You are just bringing up objections to cast doubt of the truth of this passage to make it appear like your doctrine has validity when it doesn't.
That is unfair, corrected and incorrect exegesis no matter how much you thinks it makes sense.
2. The flame of the tongue shows there is torment in hell for the soul though the physical body is in the grave and dead as a doorknob. Jerry kelso
When you take it literally then you remind me of someone that would take this literally:
Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Did you actually think Jesus was talking to literal snakes? Or rather do you think He was talking figuratively? (Parabolically).
You see Jesus is the one that gave the parabe of Lazarus and the rich man. But you think it is not a parable. Look here:
Mat_13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
So when Jesus spoke to the multitudes, he spoke in parables. So was the account of the rich man and lazarus spoken to the multitude - YES. How do we know. Because He spoke a parable earlier to the same group in Luke 16:1 with the The Parable of the Dishonest Manager. So that proves this was the multitude that He was speaking to.
