NOTE: It should be observed that neither the parables of Jesus
nor any of his teachings ever introduced fictitious conditions, nor
do they anywhere violate the laws of God, nor the order and course
of nature.
Also, the teaching of the rich man and Lazarus cannot be set
aside on the ground that it represents merely the intermediate and
not the final condition of things. If the intermediate condition of
things is fixed and established, the final condition must be more so.
