Prove Luke 16 is a parable. You cannot. JW's HATE Luke 16! The eternal fire is real!As with all parable, they represent something.
Is that why JW's twist nearly everything in the Bible?Believing the scriptures isn't unfaithful. The problem is you don't have faith in the truth of the scriptures. You have faith in your interpretation of the scriptures.
Yeah, they represent the Truth of the "everlasting fire" where those who don't believe in Hell fire will spend eternity.As with all parable, they represent something.
I will take Jesus' Word of Luke 16 over yours any day. Are you JW?Again you go to a straw man. I gave you proof. Jesus said He didn't speak to them except in parables.
Yes you did! You're denying the eternal Hell fire that Jesus taught several times.I didnt reject Luke 16.
Your belief in the eternal Hell fire is not required for your residency therein. Kingdom Hall won't save you on Judgment Day.I simply said your understanding of it is wrong.
What "premise". I'm just a Bible believer.Your premise is wrong. One part of God word doesn't take precedence over another. That you're making that statement shows your theology is a skew and you can't reconcile the Scriptures.
Even your JW's say you're wrong.Believing the scriptures isn't unfaithful. The problem is you don't have faith in the truth of the scriptures. You have faith in your interpretation of the scriptures.
Do you really not understand or are you just playing games? A parable is a story. The elements of it represent something else.Did you forget your comment? " the meaning of that parable is not about what happens when people die"
And I replied: "Then why did Jesus say "the beggar died", and "the rich man also died"?"
Why are you backtracking?
I already have several times. It's you who hasn't proven your claim. Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables and without a parable He did not speak to them.Prove Luke 16 is a parable. You cannot. JW's HATE Luke 16! The eternal fire is real!
Only if the Bible doesn't mean what it says. Do you realize that the blood of all you have told there is no eternal Hell will be on your hands on Judgment Day?I already have several times.
I don't have to prove what Jesus said. lolIt's you who hasn't proven your claim.
So nothing Jesus said applies to you? Not even salvation? Are you JW?Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables and without a parable He did not speak to them.
Yes, I understand you edit the Bible to make your own personal god.Do you really not understand or are you just playing games? A parable is a story. The elements of it represent something else.
It's really a shame about your attitude. It'll keep you from ever coming to the truth. If you actually researched it you'd see that NOWHERE in Scripture are the wicked ever said to be burning in Hades. This passage in the parable is the ONLY passage in all of Scripture that has anyone suffering in fire in Hades. EVERYWHERE else the wicked burn in Gehenna/ the Lake of Fire. Since the Scripture NOWHERE speak of the wicked burning in Hades you have no basis for claiming its literal here.Yeah, they represent the Truth of the "everlasting fire" where those who don't believe in Hell fire will spend eternity.
No, I didn't. As I said, the parable uses Hades, not Gehenna. Jesus spoke if the wicked burning I Gehenna. Please, just the most basic of studies.Yes you did! You're denying the eternal Hell fire that Jesus taught several times.
Your belief in the eternal Hell fire is not required for your residency therein. Kingdom Hall won't save you on Judgment Day.
What "premise". I'm just a Bible believer.
Jude 1:13 (NKJV)
13 raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
What you have to prove is that your understanding of what Jesus said is true. However, your understanding of it is correct.Only if the Bible doesn't mean what it says. Do you realize that the blood of all you have told there is no eternal Hell will be on your hands on Judgment Day?
I don't have to prove what Jesus said. lol
The rich man DIED and was in fire TORMENTED but alive.
So nothing Jesus said applies to you? Not even salvation? Are you JW?
Hiw old are you? Your profile says 72 but I seriously have to question that. I feel like I'm addressing an adolescent.Yes, I understand you edit the Bible to make your own personal god.
My Biblical attitude?It's really a shame about your attitude.
I can't be saved believing the Bible?It'll keep you from ever coming to the truth.
I never said that. lol I agree with Jesus, they will burn in the "everlasting fire".If you actually researched it you'd see that NOWHERE in Scripture are the wicked ever said to be burning in Hades.
No parable uses literal people. Try again.This passage in the parable is the ONLY passage in all of Scripture that has anyone suffering in fire in Hades.
Please quote me instead of making up your fairy tale.EVERYWHERE else the wicked burn in Gehenna/ the Lake of Fire. Since the Scripture NOWHERE speak of the wicked burning in Hades you have no basis for claiming its literal here.
"Everlasting fire" cannot be confused. Stop trying to TWIST the NT to fit your JW doctrine.Just the most basic of studies would reveal to you that the KJV has translated 3 different places as hell and that has confused many.
You should do even the most rudimentary of studies. I'm getting embarrassed for you
I quote Jesus, you twist it. Sounds like JW.What you have to prove is that your understanding of what Jesus said is true. However, your understanding of it is correct.
Why are you intentionally omitting the part where the rich man was dead but tormented in the fire? How deceptive.No, I didn't. As I said, the parable uses Hades, not Gehenna. Jesus spoke if the wicked burning I Gehenna. Please, just the most basic of studies.
You believe your beliefs
Why do you avoid "everlasting fire" like JW's?No, I didn't. As I said, the parable uses Hades, not Gehenna. Jesus spoke if the wicked burning I Gehenna. Please, just the most basic of studies.
You believe your beliefs
Look when you can form an actual argument come back and talk. There's no point in addressing your contious deflections any longer.My Biblical attitude?
I can't be saved believing the Bible?
I never said that. lol I agree with Jesus, they will burn in the "everlasting fire".
No parable uses literal people. Try again.
Please quote me instead of making up your fairy tale.
"Everlasting fire" cannot be confused. Stop trying to TWIST the NT to fit your JW doctrine.
This is why I said earlier, if one knows what a man is, they would understand that the Rich Man and Lazarus is a parable.
