Fearful Reality: Rich Man's Fate Revealed

0:00 Number two, the rich man and Lazarus. There is a parable of the rich man and Lazarus in which the rich man is in hell and Lazarus is in heaven. If taken literally, this story proves that the souls have eyes and tongues, the dead souls are in heaven, and a drop of water can cool a tongue burning in hell. And heaven and hell are fairly close to each other because the reception is great. The truth is that the Bible tells us that the reason this story was told was because the Pharisees were covetous. Christ drove them home with a lesson in saying that wealth doesn't get them in heaven.
