You do understand this was a parable as Jesus’ own experience shows.
I guess I don’t understand what you are trying to say, CYC. The point of the article is that this generation has had a hard time grasping ultimate punishment for a variety of reasons. I fully understand that there are times when Hell means the grave, but in Jesus story of the rich man and Lazarus,(I don’t know if it was a parable ), Jesus revealed that Lazarus was in a place of torment, and “from hel”l he called upon Abraham. BTW, I usually write in series format and develop these themes over several messages.
