I understand you are not God and therefore YOUR message is not GOD's message!!!You need to study scripture a little more.
Luke 16: 19* ¶ There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20* And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21* And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich mans table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22* And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abrahams bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my fathers house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
I have demonstrated to you these torments are not literal pain ,the dead are conscious of nothing it is like a state of sleep.
You see, if you had a better understanding of the scriptures you would have understood my message.
You are correct,i'm not God. But i can read and comprehend what i read.
One more thing you overlooked i posted a verse that says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous well surely Abraham and lazarus were righteous but i also posted a verse that said Jesus was the first born from the dead so Abraham and Lazarus are still waiting for resurrection day.
Joh 5:29 and shall come forth, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have practiced evil to the resurrection of condemnation.
No one had that eternal hope until after the resurrection of Christ.
1Pe 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
When does this resurrection happen ? the first resurrection does not occur until after the 1,000 year reign of Christ.
Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. The second death has no authority over these, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years.
