(REBROADCAST) Explaining Abraham's Bosom
About this episode
The episode explores the concept of Abraham's Bosom as described in the parable of The Rich Man and Lazarus from the Bible.
There is a parable which I believe is not technically a parable- I believe it’s a true story- called The Rich Man and Lazarus. Jesus tells this story in Luke 16. And there’s a lot of strange things you could point out about this story, but what always sticks out to me is where Lazarus goes when he dies in this story. Luke 16:22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. And as you read the story, you find that a rich man died and went to a fiery place of torment called hades, but the beggar named Lazarus went to a better place called Abraham’s Bosom. Now, we’ve all heard of going to heaven and hell when we die. And I don’t believe in purgatory. But what is Abraham’s Bosom? And I’ll do you one better, where is Abraham’s Bosom? And I’ll do you one better, why is Abraham’s Bosom in the Bible? We’ll answer all these questions today, because I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible. Turn to Isaiah 14, and let’s get weird. 0:00 - Intro 3:20 - Sheol 8:50 - Abraham’s Bosom 12:45 - Luke 16, The Rich Man and Lazarus 19:40 - Closing Thoughts If you want to get in touch, my email is weirdstuffinthebible@gmail.com Hosted by…
