your posts have become far too long to address- IF you wish to pick one or two issues and comment on them I’ll be more than happy to keep replying=- But I’m not spending hours addressing the myriad of points you are bringing up
[[Sorry, this means that for the first and only time, the Lord was teaching science fiction,]]
Read my post 122 for WHY He DID sue Jewish myth for THIS particular parable-
I find it VERY odd that you assert that God ‘could do’ such and such IF He wanted to- but then turn around and make it impossible for Christ to use a myth that was very common in his day and which was used by the very people He was talking to to make a very potent point>? Whatever!
[[there is no conflict with Lk. 16 for it is not teaching that the rich man was in his physical body that He had on earth, but speaks of some sort of existence in which the entity had equivalents to his earthly body with it sensory aspects.]]
And you accuse me of reading into passages? Wow!
[[That God will “create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind,” (Isaiah 65:17) does not speak to that, but perhaps you can make it to. ]]
Nah- I’ll let Your making it say the dead can speak to those in heave speak for itself
Like I said- you posts are far too long now- After reading just the first few paragraphs it’s clear you are on very shaky ground theologically
Wrong, as in my case i am only showing how what the Lord taught could easily take place, which would providing additional revelation, which He and Scripture often did, while in your case you have Christ teaching science fiction, which He NEVER did in any of His 45 parables.
And you accuse me of reading into passages? Wow!
Postulating how one could have eyes and a tongue to see and hear since the Lord said he did, is a perfectly reasonable theory, in contrast to asserting the rich man was a a selfish proud irreverent dictator walking in continued disobedience, because he pleaded for just one drop of water, and for his brethren to be brought to repentance and saved from the same torment he was in, and call Abraham "father." Talk about compelled absurdity!

Which is just what Christ described, while Isaiah 65:17 simply does not teach dead People are forbidden from speaking to either the l living or Those in Heaven. Ignorance, carelessness or desperation. Take your pick.

Meaning you are engaging in soliloquy.
