kjv@Luke:16:19 @ There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

kjv@Luke:16:20 @ And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

kjv@Luke:16:21 @ And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

kjv@Luke:16:22 @ 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;

kjv@Luke:16:23 @ And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

kjv@Luke:16:24 @ 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.

kjv@Luke:16:25 @ 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.

kjv@Luke:16:26 @ 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.

kjv@Luke:16:27 @ Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

kjv@Luke:16:28 @ For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

kjv@Luke:16:29 @ Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

kjv@Luke:16:30 @ And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

kjv@Luke:16:31 @ And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

kjv@Luke:16:19-31 > > RandyP :

What on earth would properly persuade men of Heaven? Isn't their mind already made up? The question then is: what is it that has made their mind up? We would like to think that we have with reason and deduction concluded the answer from the facts. While they blame believers of being lead by our hearts, the critic's case is no different than ours. Intellect follows the heart. Reasoning and deduction are being employed by both of us to substantiate and justify it's desire. Not even the dead returned to warn us could sway either of us, for there is always enough other evidence to keep us where we are most comfortable desirously/logically.
