The Bible vs Indifference. 3-16-2006. |
Luke 16: 19-31.
The Parable Of The Rich Man And Lazarus.
" There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen
and dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man
named Lazarus, covered with sores, who gladly would have eaten his fill
of the scraps that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs even used to
come and lick his sores. When the poor man died, he was carried away
by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was
buried, and from the netherworld, where he was in torment, he raised
his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he cried
out, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of
his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in
these flames.' Abraham replied, 'My child, remember that you received
what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what
was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented.
Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established to prevent
anyone from crossing who might wish to go from our side to yours or
from your side to ours.' He said, 'Then I beg you, father, send him to
my father's house, for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them,
lest they too come to this place of torment.' But Abraham replied,
'They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.' He said,
'Oh no, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they
will repent.' Then Abraham said, 'If they will not listen to Moses and
the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise
from the dead.' "

But God did not listen to Abraham and sent Jesus back to earth:)
