Boom, this is a great web site. Thank you.

Hey! That is a good site! I never really looked at it before!

In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, the rich man is said to be in Hades where he is “suffering in the flame”. Jesus tells us nothing, though, about a time limit or a hope that he may eventually cross over the gulf or chasm to join Lazarus in “the bosom of Abraham.”

The rich man is in hell. Nothing can be done to help those there. If it was temporary, Abraham would have just told the rich man to wait it out.
