Ecclesiology 201 Guidelines
Discussion on matters of general mainstream Christian churches. What are the differences between Catholics and protestants? How has the charismatic movement affected the church? Are Southern baptists different from fundamentalist baptists? It is also for discussions about the nature of the church.
This forum is primarily for Christians to discuss matters of Christian doctrine, and is not the area for debate between atheists (or those opposing orthodox Christianity) and theists. Inquiring atheists (or sincere seekers/doubters/unorthodox) seeking only Christian participation and having demonstrated a manner that does not seek to undermine the orthodox Christian faith of others are also welcome, but must seek Moderator permission first. When defining 'Christian' for purposes of this section, we mean persons holding to the core essentials of the historic Christian faith such as the Trinity, the Creatorship of God, the virgin birth, the bodily resurrection of Christ, the atonement, the future bodily return of Christ, the future bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, and the final judgment. Persons not holding to these core doctrines are welcome to participate in the Comparative Religions section without restriction, in Theology 201 as regards to the nature of God and salvation with limited restrictions, and in Christology for issues surrounding the person of Christ and the Trinity. Atheists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 forum without such restrictions. Additionally, there may be some topics that within the Moderator's discretion fall so outside the bounds of mainstream orthodox doctrine that may be more appropriately placed within Comparative Religions 101.

If you think this was just a parable, I suggest that you read this:

The article presents the views blurred. How do they differ? literal versus metaphorical?
We know Jesus descended into Hades (the ref Acts 2:27 is not cited) in that His Soul did not remain there.
Augustine rejects Abraham's bosom being in Hades. Where Jesus taught Abraham was there (Luke 16:23) and how Abraham said otherwise (Luke 16:29, 31 Moses: Deuteronomy 32:22 and the prophets: one being David: Psalm 86:13). Virtually no one [commentaries etc] cites Deuteronomy 32:22 two compartments of Sheol/Hades is being presented.
Also 1 Peter 4:6 is not cited
and Ephesians 4:8-10 is not cited.
My comments aside: If you had to list the views presented in the article, how would you list them and categorize them. How are they the same and how are they different?
In Eastern tradition, Jesus broke the gates of Hades, and preached to all who were present. Those who were capable of responding (variously interpreted from a minimalist position of those who led righteous lives even though they never heard the gospel to a maximalist position of everyone) had, and have, the opportunity to leave.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

OBP,
Thank you for your previous comments and corrections regarding notes I missed in the article.
I do not agree with all of the Net Bible foot note in Deuteronomy 32:22 on Sheol. Also the Net Bible has no foot note in Luke 16:29 or 30 to Deuteronomy 32:22. Or any reference back to Moses.
The word translated "gate" πυλωνα can very well be translated "porch" (Matthew 26:71).
He was sick, being that he was "full of sores" and so sick that he "was laid," placed at, the rich man's gate. The word translated "was laid" εβεβλητο a verb, past perfect, indicating that Lazarus was placed there some time ago.

Holman Christian Standard Bible has, ". . . and burns to the depths of Sheol; . . ."
The KJV has, ". . . and shall burn unto the lowest hell, . . . "
The Hebrew translated "the lowest hell" is only found two places, Deuteronomy and that one Psalm of David.

The word "even" is only found in the Latin to English translation for Deuteronomy 32:22.

Why should it? They do not believe (for good reason, AFAICS) that Deut 32:22 is applicable (they do, however, refer back to Deut. 14:28-29, which is a Mosaic reference).
The reference of 14:28-29 does not warn of it. Which the rich man was asking. The irony is the Apostle John in his later gospel account makes mention of a Lazarus, a beloved friend of Jesus, whom Jesus did in fact raise from the dead. Luke's account being the earlier use of that name by Jesus in that true story.
Thanks. The reason that Lazarus was laid there would have been in hope that the rich man might take pity on him and help him. In other words, he was put there to beg for the rich man's charity. In ANE culture, beggars who could not move without assistance (or only with great difficulty) would have been placed in strategic positions by relatives too poor (or cynical*) to care for him themselves.

Little wonder, noting the gross unbelief. Also the popular error that the account is a parable. That verse in Deuteronomy is the explanation of the fire in Hades/Sheol.

One [internet/blog] commentator suggested that Mary and Martha came and took him home before he died. Interpreting that that Lazarus was the same. The NET bible did translate the word "poor man."Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

I agree that Deuteronomy 32 is clearly talking about the place of the dead. The word sheol is used even as early as Genesis to refer to that. It's completely stupid to say that hell was made up later.
I just don't agree that Deuteronomy 32 suggests that there is an "upper hell" which is a nice place to live.

That is classic eisegesis.
I don't understand your point. Are you saying that your complaint is not, after all, their lack of reference to Moses in general, but specifically to Deut. 32:22?
Internet blog commentators sometimes say all sorts of wrong things. The Lazarus that Jesus raised from the dead was manifestly not a poor man - he owned a house, where he lived with his sisters Mary and Martha, and had enough money that they could financially support Jesus and his disciples staying there when they were near Jerusalem. You're reading way too much into the names being the same.
