The rich man and Lazarus was a parable Davy, It is actually about an upcoming change of leadership of God's people.Nope, even as Jesus showed in the Luke 16 Chapter about Lazarus and the rich man having died with their spirit taken to Paradise in the heavenly dimension, the rich man to the side of hell (haides), and the poor beggar preacher Lazarus to Abraham's bosom on the other side of Paradise.
What you are going on is the old traditions of the JEW'S religion. They dwell on Genesis 2:7 about the creation of Adam to mean the 'soul' is part of our flesh body! That primitive thinking is pretty sick, because the 'soul' is not part of our flesh, even as Jesus showed in Matthew 10:28. Even Ecclesiastes 12:5-7 makes this distinction between earthly matter and spirit, and that's Old Testament teaching. Likewise with 1 Kings 17:20-23 with Elijah praying that God would all the soul of the child to return to his dead flesh body.
Even in John 3, Lord Jesus made the distinction between flesh and spirit, as two separate and distinct operations from each other. Ecclesiastes 12 reveals a "silver cord" involved being severed at flesh death. That suggests that "silver cord" is what keeps our soul-spirit connected with our flesh body while alive on earth, and is severed at flesh death, allowing each part to return to their place of origin. Our spirit returns back to God it says, and per New Testament doctrine that means our soul with our spirit returning to the heavenly, and not to some hole in the ground like the ignorant unbelieving Jews believe.
What ???It is actually about an upcoming change of leadership of God's people.

It was out of left field. Do you want to explain your statement?Do you think it was literal Thinkr?
This isn't some nursery school for toddlers here. So questions like that simply cannot be answered by opinion, but only by The Scriptures. So what does God's Word say about all that, because God's Word does... answer that?Scriptures apart, please tell us in your own words exactly what we christians will experience when we die, and also tell us what somebody like Hitler, Stalin and Saddam will experience when they die..:)
Doesn't matter if Jesus was giving that as a 'story' or not. And that's what it is, a 'story', and not a parable. A parable instead is a mystery that contains another meaning. Jesus used that story to show what actually happens after death to our spirit with soul; it goes to Paradise, to one of the two sides. And He was revealing that to show how each soul has a choice as to which side they wind up on based on how they conducted their life.The rich man and Lazarus was a parable Davy, It is actually about an upcoming change of leadership of God's people.
