Most people call this a parable, but if it is a parable it is the ONLY ONE where Jesus uses a persons name. I find that curious. Jesus would say, "a certain farmer" etc. and here we have a man named Lazarus. Well, Lazarus was certainly conscious! But read Luke 16 and see what you think. In Christ, James Post Reply

Where's Abraham's bossom? Was Lazerus really talking to Abraham? Is Abraham resurrected, yes (but if one goes to them from the dead). So dead Lazerus in the grave wants resurrected Abraham to go to his live brothers and talk to them? Figurative vs 31 if you don't believe, you don't believe and nothing is going to change your mind even if someone rose from the dead to tell you. Too much stretching of the mind to be literal.
