And as it is appointed unto men once to die HEBREW 9:27. let us repent and be good to make the next world a rich one and peaceful which is going to eternal. when we die we can't come back for rectification. HEAVEN IS REAL AND HELL IS REAL.
Verse 26: Heaven and Hell are complete end to all things - no change can take place in Heaven or Hell. As wickedness comes to and end, mercy also cannot be exercised across heaven and hell. The good in Heaven in there natural tendencies may have the will to help their loved ones that they may site in hell but the power to do so shall be denied of them. Those in Hell may wish to subtly or forcefully cross over to Heaven or have a relationship with the residents but they cannot. To get back to earth via any means, they also cannot. The engulfing gulf is too great that it traps all including mercy. Neither inflow nor outflow of any sort is possible. Hell is not only a dead end but a dead biginning. It is not a place for me or you. My prayer is that I work NOW and help all walk to getting carried into Heaven through Christ, my Lord and Saviour.
In verse 21,bible says Lazarus desireth to be fed with crumbs. The rich man ending in hell wasnot because of his wealth neither Lazarus didn't make heaven because he was poor. Simply put, Lazarus desired to be poor. We can be rich and still make heaven and some will be poor and yet miss heaven. God isn't against being rich. Remember He says 'Gold and Silver is mine'. Just don't let your wealth distract you from the right path. May God bless us and grant us heaven.
@Brother,
On verse 18,
1. I agree with what Timothy had to say in response to Brother on his marriage situation, but there is more Timothy should be doing beside praying;
2. It is difficult giving relationship advice without being able to sit down and talk with both parties involved;
3. God always has solutions to every situation, but they are usually not so simple because of our sinful nature and after we have made decisions without proper biblical counseling with God and the man of God with the holy scriptures at the foundation of our decisions;
4. Are you and your wife both saved?
5. Do you both attend and participate in a good bible believing church?
6. Are you doing those things that God commands us to do that put us in a right relationship and good standing with him?
7. Although our mates have a large influence on our lives and how we are able to serve God, but our mates should not have that much influence on us that it holds us back from our spiritual growth and fellowship with God ( 1 Corinthians 7 and Ephesians 5:21-33);
8. We as Christians should never allow anyone to have such a strong hold on us to keep us from doing right and being diligent in seeking him. ( 1 Corinthians 7:29 and Hebrews 11:6);
9. The better our relationship, fellowship, and obedience to God's holy word the better position we place ourselves in having God answering our prayers and working in our favor;
10. We have a much better opportunity in winning others to our side (God’s side) when we love God verbally, but also when we especially love God with our actions;
11. People always tend to watch our actions over our speech ( James 1:22-25);
12. I do not know what kind of a relationship Peter had with his wife, but it apparently did not stop him from doing what God wanted him to do!
Dear Brother, marriage takes time. When the bible said the two will become one flesh, it does not happen over night. Jesus is saying in verse 18, if you marry someone who was put away, you will be committing adultery. God hates divorce, and yet Moses because of the hardness of their hearts suffered it when infidelity was done. Let not man put asunder them that God hath joined together. Jesus loved the Church, and gave his life for the Church. While we were sinners Christ died for us. Husbands are to love their wives the same way Jesus loves the Church. Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. When you do this you will be able to love your wife as yourself. Live with your wife according to knowledge, as the weaker vessel. Be kind, tender, and forgiving even as God for Christ sake forgave you. Read the bible together, and go to Church together.Pray that the Lord will enable the two of you to become the one flesh that God has planned for you in your marriage. Divorce is not an option,and don't let the devil tempt you with that. Marriage is a covenant till death do ye part. May the Lord bless your marriage, and may your love grow stronger for your wife.
I think Jesus meant that, embrace the riches of this world (unrighteousness mammon) which will enable you into the privilege of tithing, giving to the poor, give generously to those in need, clothe them,buy them food. Using the earthly wealth to serve God so that the seed you have planted on earth (as per the book of Revelation) where we will be judged by the works we did as it is written in the second book of our deeds) Therefore this wealth would have opened an opportunity to us to serve God with it hence the good works and fruits that emanated from the unrighteousness mammom will welcome us into everlasting habitation. See verse 11' it says if you cannot be trusted with the unrighteousness mammon how can you be trusted with the holy incorruptible wealth in heaven?
Luke Chapter 16:16-31 The Rich Man and Lazarus
The Rich Man and Lazarus
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;
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.
The body return to the dust of the earth, but the spirit of man liveth. The born again Spirit liveth in Heaven and the unborn again spirit is bound in Torment or, Hell.
Besides...the dead is not allowed to communicate with the living without a body...that's why Lord Jesus the Christ had to have a body to communicate with and to us Salvation. And yes the Spirit of man continues to live and can see, but not communicate.
Now I believe that sometimes our Heavenly Holy Father will allow their works through the Holy Spirit to speak to us when we are troubled. Remember the old saying; I can't hear what you are saying for what you are doing... Sometimes what a person had done leaves a greater affect, or impression than their words.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
It is not about frightening one to accept CHRIST, for CHRIST died and risen and lives forever sitting at the right hand of our Heavenly Father on the Thorn in Heaven and has given to man His Free Will to choose... Salvation.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
The story of Lazarus is the main parable in this chapter. The poor man who suffered in this world was given his reward for he did no evil to anyone. But the rich man fared sumptuously, feasting on worldly pleasures, never going beyond and therefore he had his reward in the desolation, and the abomination of this earthly place where greed, selfishness, self-indulgence, lechery, incontinence reign. But Abraham received the beggar into his bosom, into his Heart, where there is peace and faithfullness. And further states that the rich man's bretheren have Moses and the Prophets. They are suffient for they were the teachers of our High Priest, Jesus Christ, or The Christ, the Messiah, the First born of the Dead. Though he were resurected yet they will not believe. We must read the whole bible to get the whole truth.
Luke 16:18 Marriage should abide until the death separates the two because when one of the couple commits adultery should not get married to another person because he/she will be committing adultery so married people should be faithful to their partners knowing that marriage is a covenant which should not be broken.
When I begin to understood (with my limited knowledge) what Luke 16:27-31 was saying, I was confused. Because my Pastor taught me the dead can NOT come back and tell anyone anything. I said Pastor thats not true. He said are you calling the Bible a lie? I said no sir. I am going on my own experience. My father died when I was 12 or 13. I became rebellious and would not listen to my mother. I had a dream about my father - he was bigger than life. He was coming after me because I was being disobedient, he wanted me to straighten up. Believe me when I tell you - it worked.
That each person who received Jesus Christ as their Personal Lord and Savior must reach their love ones so that they will not experienced eternal life in Hell.. and our accountability will not be question.
This is no time (2010) to be wrong about whether there is a heaven and hell. What is true is that when a person truly surrenders their whole life over to Jesus, their eyes are undeniably Opened. To eat of the forbidden fruits of this world only blinded Adam and Eve, as it does any of us who go that route.
Darren: There is most certainly a literal hell, more is taught in the bible about hell then heaven! Hell is no joke it is a literal place. You are right in saying that God doesnt send anyone to hell, its a choice the individual makes, people send themselves to hell.
I'm sorry if you took my comment the wrong way.
there is no hell as a place where our loving
god burns his children as a punishment for dis-
obedience.jesus was only giving an example in luke 16:23 and I was trying to be funnie.
Darren: Why would you want to see anyone in hell? I would think you would want to help people come to Jesus Christ and be saved instead of seeing anyone go to hell.

Christians with just as many interpetations of the Bible. We need God sent revival. God Help US!!!
there is no hell as a place where our loving
god burns his children as a punishment for dis-
obedience.jesus was only giving an example in
luke 16:23 and I was trying to be funnie.

Hell like in Luke 16:23?
