Discuss Melvin Whitcombe's answer to: In what story did Jesus place a curse on the unrighteous?

Let us look to the incident between the pauper Lazarus and the uncaring rich man.  Lazarus begged at the gate and wanted only the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table.  The rich man could not have cared less.  It is much like disabled veterans who go without disability compensation because the Obama Revisions on VA benefits exclude them for years.  They call it "a dignity mauritorium."  It is the first time in the last ten years that it has happened.

So, we have broken men who try to feed their families on what little they can earn with broken minds and bodies, all while Obama lives in high style and laughs at their misfortune.

Then the inevitable.  Lazarus died and his body was simply discarded like dog meat.  The rich man was buried in a marble tomb that would rival that of an Egyptian Mostaba.  And everyone walked away.

Then in hell, the rich man looked up to Lazarus in the company of Abraham. 

"Father Abraham!  Get me out of this place!  The flames are too horrible to believe!" said the dead rich man.

Abraham scoffed.  "You forgot Lazarus when he needed you, and I am forgetting you now that you need him."

"Send Lazarus back and have him baptized for me!"

"Didn't you take care of that, arrogant one?" scoffed Abraham.

"At least have someone warn my five brothers about this wretched place!"

Abraham scoffed again.  "They have the Scriptures to warn them about it.  If they will not heed that warning, to bad for them and too bad for you.  Besides all that, I am not going where you are and you aren't coming here."

That was 2,000 years ago.  Lazarus was resurrected briefly, doubtless he warned the rich man's brothers, and was baptized for the rich man.  The thing is, Lazarus didn't have to.  Lazarus know how miserable it is here, and the fact that he returned briefly from the comfort of Heaven is proof that the poor have human hearts but you sophisticated atheists do not.

Tell us all, sophisticates.  Do you spend time working with troubled and disadvantaged youth?  Do you get dirty working in the Church vegetable garden? 

Or do you just gripe and bellyache about how much you hate religion so you aren't going to do one thing to help anyone else? 

Leftists are intolerably selfish hypocrites.  You have had your warning.  Shape up or else.

Purging out hatred from ourselves grants us true freedom -- if there is no grudge to hold us down, then we are free indeed!

MGySgt Edward S. Renner USMC Thinks this answer is Helpful:

The rich man was selfish in the extreme and couldn't have cared any less about other people.  That is the deathknell of any society, that people are only in it for what the government wil give them, and then never take care of their neighbors.  That is leftist liberal thought taken to the logical conclusion.

 

If you want to describe hell, experience shows us that that is it.
