Lazarus and the Rich man...

Yes, the person Enoch is talked about in God's Word. It's the Book of Enoch that's not in the Canon.

I see that a little differently. There is no mention of a book. The prophecy that Enoch was moved by the Holy Spirit. . . it’s recorded in the book of Jude.

It was all that was necessary to make the teaching point of them who murmured and did not want to leave the land of slavery. There could be more that Enock was given to say. It was not necessary to make the point.

It’s a miracle the Lord could condense an eternity of thought in such a “little book”

Revelation 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth

I think we can be confident and comforted of the loving warning placed at the end of the book of prophecy the Bible. . not to add or subtract from the whole. That possibility is sealed with 7 seals until the end of time.

Jude 13-15 King James Version (KJV) Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
 
The book of Jasher (Josh 10:13; ) is mentioned in the Bible, and Jesus mentions a saying of Julius Caesar ( Luke 12:19; ) in the Bible. Should we make the sayings and teachings of Julius Caesar part of the Bible?
In Acts 17:23 mentions an inscription to another god, should we include the teachings of this god in the Bible?

Also Enoch obviously didn't write the book of Enoch, there are events (such as the flood) that happened after Enoch was taken up, that are mentioned in the book of Enoch.
Some of the things mentioned in the book of Enoch happened more than a thousand years after Enoch was taken. These aren't mentioned in a prophetic context, but written as events that had already happened in the past.
It's interesting Jesus never included it.

Matt 23:35; so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
Luke 11:51; from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.'


The book of Enoch existed when Jesus was on the Earth, it was written after the book of Zechariah, so why didn't Jesus say from Abel to Enoch?

I agree with "most" of this explanation.

The 2nd century council of Trent rejected the book of Enoch mostly for the reasons given above.
 
I''ve also come across the mentioning of the Book of Jasher in the Bible which isn't included In the Canon. If a person wants to read it, it's probably on internet. I guess I figure that we have enough Scripture we're able To read, that missing a book or two won't make that much difference. They were ommitted for a reason. Apparently there was a certain quality of the books In the Canon that weren't in the others, that was enough to keep them out.

When prophecy was inspired is not a isue. But rather if it was? ..One third of human history had passed before the Holy Spirit moved Moses to record which events our Father in heaven desired to use. . Jasher when defined means the "Book of the upright " . (The Bible.) It reveals the Sun did not go down until the enemy was defeated

Malachi 3 King James Version (KJV) Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah represent all of the old testmnet saints. Malachi indroduces the new order of govenrmnt . The time of reformation and restoration had come. Moses signified by the letter of the law (death) the Old testement. And the prophets signified by Elijah newness of spirit representing New Testement . togeter as one perfect law

Zechariah literaly meaning
"The Lord who is everything has remembered. " Abel " meaning Vanity I am nothing. From nothing to eternal life.

Luke 1:16-18 King James Version (KJV)And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

From Abel to Zechariah represent all of the Old testemnt saints who graves were opened when the veil was rent from the top to the botom .Having prepared the way of ressurection . . .to be absent of the body is to be present today .No waithing period

Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
 
Friends this story is not a parable. Jesus did not use names of real people in parables. We know Lazarus was a real man. This story is true.
Up to this point I agree with you ;).


Human souls go to the 3rd heaven where heaven and hell are located. They are separated by a huge chasm type river barrier but in one area the people can see each other. The communication is telepathic. This barrier is called 'Styx'. We learn this in the Book of Enoch, who of which was Noah's grandfather, and Enoch was 7th from Adam.

Lazarus and the rich man were both in Hades. The divide was there in Hades, Abraham's bosom was separated in Hades by as you say the great divide.

Humans who repented and hated sin before the cross, went to AB. Those who repent after, go straight to heaven. Those who don't repent go straight to Hades, waiting for the white throne judgement.

Hades is merely a waiting place. Not a place of punishment. Which is why we need to better understand the fire of the rich man. The fire is not a punishment from God but rather seems to be an inevitability accompanying one's sin as I try explain here The fires of hell.

And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that they who would pass from here to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there.’
Luke 16:26

This was a true story and the Rich man is still burning today...

I have to ask . What part of the Rich man is burning forever? Have you compared that ideiology to other places in scitpture?

Ecclesiastes refers to it as the vanity of vanities

Ecclesiastes 12:6-8 King James Version (KJV)
Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity

The division in that parble in a seires of parables that began in the previous chapter 15:1 is the parble of "two teachings masters" . One the word of God Moses and the prophets; And two the oral traditons of men mankind comuning with those no longer here under the Sun .necromancy . . .seeking after disemboded workers with a familiar spirit .

Luke16: 13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

One Master God's wisdom Moses and the prophets And two Mammon the wisdom of this world after the god of this world

Twice in one passage below the Holy Spirit in order to emphasize His word is Master that both works in us with us empowering us to do His good pleasure.

When Christ arose the necromancers in that parable still had no faith as it is writen in Moses and prophets.The one witness of God. . . .greater than the witness of those who seek after another teaching Good Master.

Luke16: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

We walk by faith the unseen eternal not by sight after the fleshly imaginations of one’s own heart called mammon .
 
Where ya'll get your information -- some of it is from Scripture -- but the rest of conjecture -- why not stay with Scripture.

The existance of "Styk" is not in Bible that I've ever seen. And telepathic communication?

What does "Styk" have to do with death and the suffering of dying called hell according to the Bible?

What part of the Rich man is burning forever?
 
@Garee -- my comment about 'Styk' was in reference to post #26 in comments made by DieAmartyr in your conversation with her.

My response to the "Styk" is that I have no clue.

Actually I had been reading the exchange between you and DieAmartyr and KingJ. and was interjecting my reactions.

So 'this' should probably be directed to DieAmartyr and she had commented that That info was from Book of Enoch -- and will suggest that she stick with actual Bible. Because there's obviously non-Biblical info in that book.

There is definitely a 3rd heaven, but that's Not where hell is located. And there are other aspects that are not Biblical. More sci-fi than anything.

The rich man is in the area of Abraham's bosom that still does exist -- it's not the man burning -- it's the environment he's existing in -- eventually -- Death and Hell will be caste into the lake of fire and brimstone which will last forever.

Those will be as much 'people' as born again believers will be 'people' in heaven / the New Jerusalem. Both locations will be eternal.

Thanks for explaining .Good points

One will rise the other retrun to the dust .The death of death itself.
 
Yes, the person Enoch is talked about in God's Word. It's the Book of Enoch that's not in the Canon.

I do not think anyone said search for the whole book of Enoch . But the prophecy that God gave to Enoch it is recorded in Jude. Nothing is missing. Just like the prophecy that came from the mouth of Balaam’s Ass literally preventing Balaam from cursing God. Showing he was a false apostle. We do not search for a book of (Francis or Mr. Ed ) Balaam’s donkey. All that was needed was written by the finger of God. We dare not seek after any new revelations. We have the perfect with no laws missing by which mankind could know Our Holy Father not seen more intimately.

The gospel in the parble as a cerimonial law written below ....

Exodus 34:20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.


God who is not served by human hands any way shape or form uses an Ass to represent un-believers (no faith) . He can bring to fruitation of the gospel just as easily by moving a beliver..he has no needs but satifies all good needs

The Ass must be redeemed with a lamb . . the gospel hid in that parable found in Numbers below

Numbers 22:28 And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?

In the same way he opens the mouth of any prophet sent as a apostle to declare prohecy the perfect law of God . Why seek to go above that which is wittien, as it is written ?

______________________
Hmmm! Then Jesus sided with Satan who told Eve she would NEVER die?
And revelation was a FALSE vision?
And Adam had a living immortal soul placed IN him?

The rich man went to hades.

Luke 16:22; "Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried.
Luke 16:23; "In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom.


But both Hades and Abraham's Bosom are temporary places. Abraham's Bosom may not even exist anymore.
Eventualy Hades will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.

Rev 20:14; Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Rev 20:15; And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
____________________

Then one lake of fire (hades) will be thrown into ANOTHER one?

Sorry but...

Enoch was carried away from this earth, so he never died. The Scriptures tell us that before he was carried off, he was a man who pleased God. Later, no one knew where he was, because God had taken Enoch to be with him. This all happened because he had faith.
Hebrews 11:5.

If God is in heaven, that is where Enoch went.

One day Enoch was walking with God, and he disappeared. God took him. Genesis 5:24
____________________________________________

None knew where God took him- but it wasn't Heaven, per Jesus statement!
He was included in the list.
Heb 11:13- These all died in faith, not having received what was promised, but having seen it and greeted it from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

I base that on the fact that Jesus went to hell for 3 days and conquered hell, took the keys, and everyone in Abraham's bosom rose with Him to paradise. I base it on its one of the reasons Jesus Christ came to earth! Zechariah 9:11
Jerusalem, we used blood to seal your agreement,
so I am setting your people free from that empty hole in the ground.[a]

Jesus physical body did die, albeit briefly. He was resurrected on the third day and returned to heaven , sitting at the right side of his Holy Father. He did return to the earth and even showed his wound and scars on his physical body. Same as will happen to man on the final day. Resurrected from the dead and judged according to the book of life.

Nice Diversion.

Nice Diversion.
No...I have a point Christians run away from the Book of Enoch because its not canon....Yet they read all sorts of other books that are not canon....Seems to me somebody is scaring them off from reading that book for a reason.... and Christians are good at running away and making it look like a righteous thing.

Well then, forgive me!
Now back to- You mean Jesus DIED, not alive for 3 days?

John 2:16-19 (KJV) And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

John 2: 9 9 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

Oh COME ON! That old church ploy!
But I'm GAME!

How could he resurrect himself if DEAD?
And, why would he resurrect himself if living the whole time?


Answer:
"John 10:17- Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my LIFE, that I might take it again.

[ NOTE: AGAIN Jesus himself said it was his LIFE. Not just the body. He then EXPLAINS how he "takes it again"-]

18-"No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again......This >>>> COMMANDMENT (Greek "entile") <<<<< have I received of my Father."

Note it was NOT by his OWN authority, as one of Three Gods~ entile: injunction: an order from a court of law that says something must be done or must not be done .

So Jesus did NOT resurrect himself- for he was DEAD. He DIED. He was NOT ALIVE.
But he DID bring about it by dying "faithful unto death"

Oh COME ON! That old church ploy!
But I'm GAME!

How could he resurrect himself if DEAD?
And, why would he resurrect himself if living the whole time?

God the Father raised him from the dead on the 3rd day.

And there are no 'hidden nuggets' in the book of Enoch. That book and a number of others were taken out for good reason. Take aoment to Google the list of qualifications for TR he books to be in the Canon.

Yes it is appointed for all men to die once. No double jeopardy second trial needed . The three day and night propmised outward fleshly demonstration of the lamb of God slain from Genesis the foundation is over.

This is interesting....You're mixing bible with mythology here...Makes an interesting story but....skip the mythology ok?

I would not call it mixing bible with mythology but rather how do we rightly divide the series of parables (3 chapters in a row) all coming to same spiritual understanding . All parables are teaching parables. Teaching us how to walk by faith the unseen eternal, and not after the temporal seen. .

Beginning in Chapter 15. . hundred sheep preaching the theme throughout a series of parables informing us . . "no man can serve two good teaching masters as one unseen lord ", The theme revealed in Chapter 16 :13 , the conclusion of the the series , Abraham . . .( the father of all the nations of the world) and Lazarus . . (God has helped) ending in Chapter 17 the witness to the law. . no man can serve two good teaching masters as one Lord.

The Jews denied all things written in the law and the prophets(sola scriptura) as they communicated with those dead relatives as workers with familiar disembodied spirit gods . Coming for the faithless Jew of that day . Just as today called patron saints by some.


In respect to their false belief .

The Holy Spirit set up a law of interpretation that prohibits the idea of serving another teaching master as Lord. . He placed a void between one communication form to another to either party .

The law . The law and the prophets (the testimony) . Sola scriptura is woven throughout the whole series of parables over and over. No man can serve two good teaching masters as one Lord

Luke 16: 16-31 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 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;And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 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. 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. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; (sola scriptura) let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

They still having no faith that could please God insisted if they saw one come back from the dead (walk by sight) then they would believe the true master . Not given the understanding of the parable, the mystery of faith, the power to believe the one master as it is written .

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God as it is written and mammon, the wisdom of this world under the god thereof .

Yes it is appointed for all men to die once. No double jeopardy second trial needed

Heb 9:27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,

John 5:28; "Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice,
John 5:29; and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

2Cor 5:10; For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Rev 21:8; "But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

Yes it is appointed for all men to die once. No double jeopardy second trial needed . The three day and night propmised outward fleshly demonstration of the lamb of God slain from Genesis the foundation is over.


It says they DIED- even Enoch!

It says they DIED- even Enoch!

Where does it say Enoch "died".

Wasn't Enoch 'taken'. And he was no more. And / or Elijah were taken up by God. Which means they did not die.

Wasn't Enoch 'taken'. And he was no more. And / or Elijah were taken up by God. Which means they did not die.

All according to church dogma, not biblical.

I seem to recall Elijah mentioned in another land after God had taken him...
 
As for Enoch and Elijah - look at Genesis 5:24 and 11 Kings 2:10 they were both taken up without dying.
 
As for Enoch and Elijah - look at Genesis 5:24 and 11 Kings 2:10 they were both taken up without dying.

He disappeared! From WHERE? From HEAVEN? From EARTH? Or that region?
1 Kings 2- what does that have to do with the discussion?
 
The passage was meant to be 2 Kings not 1st kings. Vs one of that chapter "when the /peed was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirl wind.....". And then proceed to vs 10 when it happened.
