   idem. If it were a parable, it's a parable which teaches the truth that   
   there's conscious existence in reward or pain after physical death, not   
   that there is NOT conscious existence and reward or suffering after   
   death. Under no circumstances does the teaching in Luke 16 support the   
   LIE that people will NOT experience conscious existence after physical   
   death. It shows the exact opposite. You simply try to discredit anything   
   which directly refutes your preferred LIES. Parables NEVER means "the   
   exact opposite of what the story says". Stupid, satanically manipulate LIAR.   
      
   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
