And Hells come back to haunt me

[Bob Kelso]

When one seeks to teach you would typically try not to create instances of conflicting stories. Jesus being god in mans form with all the powers of god, like omniscience, fully aware of the instances within his own 'Word' that describe the separation of heaven and hell. Seems a bit contrary, as is a good portion of the biblical texts, is all I'm trying to point out.
Parable or not.

What does it matter to you, you didn't understand what He was teaching. To make His point the parable had to be told as it was, simple really.

Don't presume to know what I do or do not understand, as an ex christian the story is well known to me and it's meaning is quite clear.

The point I'm trying to make is that this is one of many inconsistencies in the bible. Sure, any person writing a narrative can make a mistake or not think to have the rules of an alternate reality down pat, but we are talking about a supposedly perfect higher being. Sure it's small fries compared to the rest of them but it's a valid point nonetheless.

Adds to skepticism.
