“I would call that a parable.”
Yes, of course it is. Don’t confuse that Lazarus of the parable with the other Lazarus that Jesus raised from the dead.
I’m not. What I’m saying is that the people Jesus raised from the dead had no conscious thoughts while they were dead, therefore they were not in heaven and they were not being tormented in hell. They were “asleep” awaiting either the first or the second resurrection. Once we die, our next conscious thought will be rising in the air to meet Christ or meeting him at the White Throne Judgment.
