"Firstly, we are talking about a worthless immoral beggar." I have seen how you consider anyone who is in your way to be "worthless" You will have to find a way to live with yourself for that. "He was laid at his gate. This would not have been anywhere near his door." From the ridiculous to the sublime. Are you are really going to try and slide that by? Do you think he entered his home by jumping over the wall every day. What do you think the gate was for anyway? "It is reasonable to suppose that the decent man who worked for a living never even saw him." You have no way of knowing that. You are really grasping at straws today. If that were by some highly unlikely chance, true, don't you think that might have been part of a vigorous defense? What's reasonable to assume is that this guy actually watched as another human being starved to death in front of him and did nothing to help his neighbor. "Nothing in the succeeding passages indicates that the rich man is being punished for anything he did or didn't do." As I said before if you had truly read the whole bible to find out what it says instead of searching it for the latest cheap shot that you can take at God then you would understand that what was contained in the first part of the story was enough to convict him. As it is, you understand neither Christianity or Judaism; neither Law or Gospel.
