To summarize Greek noun 5580 pseudochristos/false Christs are just flesh and blood “liars” who presume to represent Christ. Greek noun 5578 pseudoprophetes/false prophets are just flesh and blood “liars” who presume to forecast God’s Word. Your understanding of Greek adjective 5571 pseudes will be enhanced by studying every Greek word in every verse containing Greek noun 5579 pseudos best exemplified by “lie” in “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen” and “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him”. The following English verse is a little misleading but it is pertinent even though it is somewhat saddening “And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life” this is pertinent because the Old Testament was first written in Hebrew. The New Testament was first written in Greek and the second consequence “If any man shall add unto” or “if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book” The good news is the “it” in “there shall in no wise enter into it” is “the holy city, new Jerusalem” which is God’s interim Kingdom of Heaven during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which will occur between this earth age and the eternal earth age that follows.
God’s heavenly Kingdom is like earthly kingdoms, Kingdoms are reserved for the King and the King’s children who reside in either a small fraction of an entire country or a small fraction of all of heaven. Anyone who studies all the Greek words in every verse in Luke 16:19-31 should understand that when Abraham said to the “rich man” “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” the “gulf” was not a physical barrier but was rather a spiritual barrier. The “rich man” had not achieved “the first resurrection” of Revelation 20:5-6 “But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection” “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years”. The “rich man” had only achieved the physical incorruption portion of the process described in 1Corinthians 15:53-54 “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory”. The “rich man” had not achieved “the first resurrection”. Subsequently the “rich man” remained spiritually “dead” as noted in Revelation 20:5 and “mortal” as noted in 1Corinthians 15:53 & 54. There is flesh physical life and death. There is spiritual life and death. Biblical death is often spiritual death subsequent to grammatical objects having grammatical subjects other than God because “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”. The finite number of human beings who achieve “the first resurrection” from flesh thoughts and feelings to become entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways which Jesus described as the “first commandment” “on such the second death hath no power”. The “rich man” in Luke 16:19-31 is in the same place at the same time as Abraham and Lazarus; in fact the “rich man” had a lengthy conversation with Abraham. The rich man’s anguish is entirely self imposed subsequent to the rich man’s own judgment. The rich man can see Abraham and Lazarus in spiritual bodies exuding gloriuos/doxa light and the rich man is a mortal body devoid of gloriuos/doxa light. Matthew 7:1-2 says: “Judge not, that ye be not judged” “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again” The rich man is in heaven with Abraham and Lazarus judging himself as he had judged others on earth, hence “with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again”. Human beings who judge others on earth who believe differently than themselves worthy of burning like bacon for all eternity will “measure” themselves worthy of the same.
John the Baptist said: “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire” The Holy Spirit does not burn up people. The Holy Spirit burns up flesh thoughts and feelings that are contrary to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” “If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward” “If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire”. False narrative hell was invalidated in a previous post.
I understand that the rich man is not experiencing physical pain but I am sorry that he is experiencing self imposed mental anguish and I want to mitigate his and others’ mental anguish either during this earth age or in the “thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal earth age that follows, hence my web site bibletruthuncovered.com
I have to follow where the Spirit leads me. This is no longer a summary. Greek noun 5583 pseustes is best exemplified by “liar” in “God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged” “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in him” “Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying”
Greek verb 5574 pseudomai is exemplified by “lie” in “I say the truth in Christ, I lie not my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost” “But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth”.
