The parable has to do with several things, and as you read it and your eyes are open to what Jesus is teaching hopefully it will help you understand things in the light of truth a little better.

God has given us instructions. In fact he tells us:
"And your own ears will hear a word behind you saying, “This is the way. Walk in it,” in case you should go to the right or in case you should go to the left."-Isaiah 30:21.
Can you hear that word from behind? That is from the past? It is in...
“‘But you will say: “The way of Jehovah is unjust.” Please listen..Is it my way that is unjust? Is it not your ways that are unjust?"-Ezekiel 18:25.
"It is a man’s own foolishness that distorts his way, And his heart becomes enraged against Jehovah."-Proverbs 19:3.
"But you have said, ‘The...
God did put a curse on anyone trying to change his word. I doubt he is going to curse someone for making an honest mistake in translation, or a scribal error by accident.
Now there was a modern-day founder of a certain religion that once he started to rewrite the Bible to add himself into it...
Could be an antiquated or inadequate translation you're using. My says “You must not murder."
There is a big difference.

The only thing I miss about the snow is watching it from a cozy room snuggling with my wife, and maybe a little skiing. Otherwise I don't miss the snow at all.

I think a go bag is more important than hording. So many natural and man-made disasters these days, and as the climate continues to change natural disasters are only going to increase. Back where my youngest son was born, in Louisville, Colorado, flames started up and swept through the town...

It is a Biblical teaching, that the dead are sleeping. Nowhere in any scripture in the Bible does it teach that anyone has been raised from the dead aside from Jesus Christ (who returned to heaven from whence he descended.)
The Bible teaches that when Jesus returns the holy ones, saints, who...
Jesus never lied. He said that the dead are asleep. For example he said of his friend Lazarus:
“Lazʹa·rus our friend has fallen asleep, but I am traveling there to awaken him."-John 11:11.
He did not teach his apostles that Lazarus was alive and somewhere else. Lazarus' sisters understood the...
There is no contradiction. For all humankind who sin will die. But because of Jesus' ransom as the prophecy in Revelation foretells they can be resurrected, that is live again. In the future resurrection they will be judged, not according to what they did in their previous life, but according to...
This is a good example of what is wrong with being too critical and skeptical. I gave you verifiable facts that can be proven by archeology and history. And yet you just ignored it and denied it is real.
I think that is what it boils down to in the end when you give evidence to a person who...
The parable of the rich and and Lazarus was a parable. It wasn't a real account. All who die in Christ will live again. In God's eyes they have life. There is no contradiction. Jesus taught the resurrection of all faithful people. There would be no need of a resurrection of the dead the dead...
It is a fact that the God's word foretold Jehovah would have witnesses. It is a fact that Jesus foretold that before the end comes the good news would be preached in all the inhabited earth (Matthew 24:14). And it is a fact these prophecies are in fulfillment today.
The Bible is replete with...
Fair enough. I didn't give evidence that they are in all the earth witnessing to Jehovah's name. But the evidence is there. And is not hard to find.
For example just visit https://www.jw.org/en/. It is now available in over 1,050 languages.
And they produce the Bible and Bible based...
Greetings. You open an OP and open on a topic that has affected all of humanity throughout history. And being atheist doesn't make one immune to spiritual assault. There are many atheists have who have been assailed from the demonic realm.
