It doesn't appear that you understand it! You're just confusing me again. I can't understand what you're saying! Again, such garbled English. Spiritual words have a set of words they use? As I said previously, your communication skills seem quite poor. I'm not going to even attempt that...

No, I don't think it destroys my argument. My argument was that the parable gives no indication of a resuscitation to life again, so it is not talking of a near death experience. The Dictionary.com definition of a near death experience is: a sensation or vision, as of the afterlife, reported...

Yes, some words can have more than one meaning - which makes communication and understanding more difficult than if all words had only one meaning! Some words even have the same spelling but different pronunciation for different meanings, to confuse things even more! e.g. we wind a clock; the...

A parable is a fictional story. When Jesus spoke a parable it was a made-up story, not a description of events that had actually happened.

What makes you think the story is of a near-death experience? It says, Luke 16:22 (WEB): (22) The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried. At no point does it say that Lazarus revived and came back to life again. The...

A parable is not literally true. If a story is literally true then it is not a parable, by definiton. You're confused and confusing people again! Thee is only one correct understanding of words. If words could have any meaning that we want, then the language is useless to us. The Scriptures...

For a longer, more detailed explanation of the parabe, see Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

In Luke 16 Jesus tells the parable of the dishonest manager (steward), which was aimed at the Pharisees who were lovers of money, and had not used their earthly gifts of wealth and opportunity for heavenly aims, but for earthly aims. The parable showed them that with their love of money they...

No you didn't! This was your post (#8): I think that most people understand the question of this topic, "Is the story of Lazarus and the rich man literal?", to mean is it a true literal (not figurative or allegorical) story or is it a parable? (A parable is a fictional allegorical story...

You claimed that the story of Lazarus and the rich man was a literal story, i.e. a true story and not a parable. So yes, I do expect you to answer with evidence to support your claim that the story of Lazarus and the rich man is not a parable? And again, why did Jesus tell this parable/story...

Well obviously it is a prophecy telling of Satan's final end. It doesn't say that Satan has already been killed and does not exist any more; it says that Satan will be changed to be a man at some future point (I would suggest that will be at the end of the Millennial Age, when Satan is released...

Matthew 13:34-35 (WEB): (34) Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them, (35) that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the...

There's no such word as backpeddle. "Peddle" means "to travel about selling wares", e.g. "peddling goods from door to door". I suspect you meant "backpedal", meaning "to move the pedals of a bicycle backwards", "to move backward quickly, as in boxing to avoid blows", "to retreat or withdraw...

I don't believe fire (which is physical) can destroy angels (which are spiritual). For example, angels are not affected by fire in these verses: Exodus 3:2 (WEB): (2) Yahweh’s angel appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with...

How can you be so stupid as to come up with that conclusion! o_O Just go back and look at my recent posts in this thread, and you will see that I repeatedly say that Jesus is God's Son, e.g.: Post #169: Yes, and God has never died. God annointed Jesus to redeem mankind and to be king over His...

Do you still not understand? o_O All the words that are in bold in the quote below (from the KJV), are not in God's Word. 1 John 5:7-8 (KJV): (7) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (8) And there are three that...

If you would like to better understand the meaning of all the things used in the tabernacle, the priest's clothing, etc., as described in Exodus 23-29 (and other books and chapters), then I recommend reading Tabernacle Shadows of the "Better Sacrifices".

You stubbornly insist on believing a corruption of the Scriptures, rather than what was actually originally written. I'm guessing you haven't bothered to watch that 9 minute video 1 John 5:7 Explained because you don't have a love of the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 (WEB): (7) For the...

You are very slow to grasp what people tell you! So I'll try once more to help you understand. You seem to be too lazy to research it for yourself, even though it is so easy to do so nowadays - it took me only about a minute to come up with the webpage On the corruption of 1 John 5:7-8, the...

Yep! Well deity means, "The state of being a god; divine nature; godhood", "The essential nature or condition of being a god; divinity" (from Deity Definition & Meaning | YourDictionary). I have never denied that Jesus, since his resurrection, has had the same divine nature that God has. Note...
