Hell has NEVER been a teaching in traditional Judaism. If Yahshua preached the Pagan Hell he would have been stoned on the spot.Jesus did not need to explain the parable. I suspect every Jew of Jesus' day understood full well what he was talking about.

Jesus' story had nothing to do with hell, the story is about Israel and the Gentiles.

Jamie, Luke 16 does not agree with what the Jews believed. Yahshua would not have gave a message that contradicted their beliefs.The rich man symbolized Israel which had been richly blessed by the Father but the beggar symbolized the Gentiles. The Gentiles were covered by God's covenant with Abraham which the rich man (Israel) had ignored.
Jesus' message to the Jews was to shape up. Do right.
God gave the law to guide his people, not for salvation.
Why? Did God make a mistake in telling his people not to rape, rob, and murder?
The law was given to the Jews as a keeper, but now that Christ has come the law has been abolished. From now on "The Just Shall Live By Faith" and not by rules, laws or religion.
Grace prevents rape, theft and murder much better than will worship. Are you fallen from grace, law keeper?
I said will worship. r....e....a...d s...l...o...w....e...rBetter than worship? Why are you contrasting grace and worship?
The word "abolished" is not the correct translation, "fulfilled" is. Christ fulfilled the Mosaic laws. That verse has noting to do with God's commands. A Judean (Jew) was not only a Hebrew, but all of the other people in the world who came under the Abrahamic faith.The law was given to the Jews as a keeper, but now that Christ has come the law has been abolished.

Parables is a special study for me. No one in the world knows more about parables than I do Jamie. Luke 16 is most certainly not the words of Christ. It also lacks a parabolic quality found in other parables.Jesus spoke in parables so the people wouldn't understand. Looks like it's still working.
Here is the patience of the saints, here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. (Revelation 14:12)
Those who do not keep God's commandments are being unfaithful.

We keep the commandments by being "In Christ".
