It may not be amiss likewise to find signs of this moral amelioration in the rich man in Hades who appeals to Abraham on behalf of his five brothers still on earth, in Luke 16. Remember the story of Lazarus and the rich man?

Yet, Bobby Barron sill hopes Hell is empty. The rich man got a pass, just like Judas.

You need to look at the deeper meaning into the Gospels ... your just scratching the surface.
In your estimation then, anyone- (rich man) or you even- who drives by a pan handler (Lazarus) on the side of the street- and ignore him and give him nothing but a contemptible look- and pass him by daily- should be destined for the hell you focus on... Is that correct? Is that what yuou're suggesting?

The Rich Man did not have Christ- as you and I do - The Rich man lived by the failings of the Jewish Law of his day - "Condemn - or -be Condemned".
Christ CHANGED ALL THAT and is GIVING US - the Rich Man - HOPE---HOPE THAT WE CAN NOW ALL BE SAVED....(not Judas though-- Christ said he "lost one" so thats bad for him)
