It may have been more than simply only "a story".
af_vet_1981's own rather snarky reply;
So you'd like to play it that way, huh?
Ok, how about yourself [af_vet_1981] do something of the same thing (a not unreasonable request, since you had just demanded from another something similar) and show from scripture where the passage you cited that included Jesus Christ's own mention of such place as "Abraham's bosum" ---should be interchangeably considered that he was talking about Heaven ---instead of Abraham's bosum, at that time anyway, be some place of Sheol?
