Dear friends.

SpeakersCorner brings up the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.

This was just a story to teach a moral or spiritual principle. If you shop around through different versions, some use the word hell others grave.
Question:
What was the purpose of the parable? Was it to shore up the doctrine of hell or was it to make a point 180° in another direction?

Who was He speaking to and who was he exposing?
And he who's without sin cast the first stone.

Peace like a river...
