Tom Butler said:
If I understand the gospel, it is that Jesus suffered on the cross, died, was buried, and rose from the dead.
When Isaiah wrote in chapter 53:8 "He shall see the travail of his soul and be satisfied," he was referring to his suffering and death on the cross. God's justice was satisfied with that, and no further suffering was required.
If people would read the parable and pay attention to the
"DETAILS" they would
"SEE" a
"great gulf" between Abraham's bosom and hell,
A
"Gulf" that can't be crossed either to put water on his tongue or for him to cross and go back to warn his brothers,
However, from Abraham's side of the Gulf, it was "possible" to be "Resurrected", back on earth, and warn his brothers, the reason he asked for lazarus to be "sent".
Lu 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a
great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass
from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest
send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have
Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. (Two witnesses/Trib)
