Lazarus, the poor man, in Luke: Are there any comments or legends about the rich man's name or family?

The rich man is sometimes referred to as Dives. But this is just from the Latin word for rich man.

Jesus actually ran his own escort service out of Nazareth and his twelve disciples were actually his posse of prostitutes that were rented out to King Herod's bi-sexual henchmen.\n\nJesus was gay, but celibate. True story.

interesting question!!!!!!! the history of Jesus stars when an angel comes to Mary and some wise men see a star on the sky , they fallow the star and encounter Herod the great on their way . Herod got mad and send to kill every Jew newborn ..........Jesus was taken to Egypt being help by the money he got from the gifts which he received form the wise .......... the question here . would u go to other country if u were in problems??? would u wait if u know u need to feed ur family today and u don't have the money??? did Jesus wait or he reacted like any other human in need would do??? what if he had to become an illegal to save his life , or what if u have to become an illegal to feed Ur family ??? .........\nhere the bible texts:\nDeu 23 :15-16 \nU will not give back to his owner the one who did run to u from his owner .\nhe will live whit u ,,between u , in the place which he chooses , where ever he wants ; u will not abuse him .\nDeu:24:14 u will not abuse the worker poor and in need , either if is one of ur brothers or a foreigner who lives in ur land or in ur cities .\nDeu 24 :17 u will not ignore the rights of the foreigner or the one whit out father or, neither u will take piece of clothing from the widow . but u will remember that u were sever in Egypt and that from there the LORD YHWH RESCUE  u : for this  , I ORDER u  to do this .\n\nthe funny thing about this bible texts is that i opened the bible and they were in front of me right in that moment as i started to read .

Its about the theory that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene & their blood line still exists protected by a secret society called Priority of Sion. \n\nThough this is the main theme od Da Vinci Code, there are also many controversial facts such as Jesus was a mortal just like any of us, the church has been putting down the role of women in the society & many such things.\n\nIts worth a read, very intresting.

WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT DEATH\n\nJesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60) Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep” in death.—1 Corinthians 15:6.\n\nLEARNING FROM THE RESURRECTION ACCOUNTS\n\nThe Bible teaches that the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” They are not alive and have no conscious existence anywhere. The account of Lazarus confirms this. Upon returning to life, did Lazarus thrill people with descriptions of heaven? Or did he terrify them with horrible tales about a burning hell? No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he had been “conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death.—John 11:11.\nKing James Bible\nJohn 11:11  These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.\n\nActs 7:60  And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.\n\nKing David said this:  Psalms 13:3  Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;\n\nDeuteronomy 31:16  And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers;\n2 Samuel 7:12  And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers,\n1 Kings 1:21  Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers,\nJeremiah 51:39  In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD.\nActs 13:36  For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:\n1 Thessalonians 4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

First of all, you do not have and immortal soul, if you did, then why had no one gone to Heaven before Jesus came to the Earth, 4000 years had came & gone since Adam & Eve, millions of people had died, what did Jesus say to a man of the Pharisees, Nic·o·de'mus was his name, a ruler of the Jews.\n\nJohn 3:13\nMoreover, no man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man.\n\nJesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors.

No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he had been “conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death.  John 11:11.\nThe account of Lazarus also teaches us that the resurrection is a reality, not a mere myth. Jesus raised Lazarus in front of a crowd of eyewitnesses. Even the religious leaders, who hated Jesus, did not deny this miracle. \n\nThink about this too: If Lazarus had been in heaven for those four days, would he not have said something about it?—  And if he had been in heaven, would Jesus have made him come back to earth from that wonderful place?   Of course not!\n\nYet, many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Gen. 2:7,  Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.\n\nThe Scriptural teaching of the resurrection, however, is not compatible with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. If an immortal soul survived death, no one would need to be resurrected, or brought back to life. Indeed, Martha expressed no thought about an immortal soul that was living on elsewhere after death. She did not believe that Lazarus had already gone to some spirit realm to continue his existence. On the contrary, she showed her faith in God’s purpose to reverse the effects of death. She said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) Likewise, Lazarus himself related no experiences of some afterlife. There was nothing to report.\n\nClearly, according to the Bible, the soul dies and the remedy for death is the resurrection. You enjoy the best sleep ever, until Jesus resurrects you, sometime in the future.

I think your newspaper made that up 2000 years after Jesus was alive.  There are people who wrote about Jesus's life who lived with him and followed him around everywhere.  They are eyewitness reporters.  You can find their reports about Jesus in the bible, in the New Testament.  Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote gospels about him - a gospel is a short story about Jesus that tells the message of why he was born and why he lived.  Luke was a historian who researched and interviewed people everywhere about all of their experiences with Jesus.\n\nNone of these people mention Jesus being married or having a child.  It is lunacy to think that they could have missed somehting that huge about Jesus's life.

Does it matter?  I think of Jesus as an olive-skinned man with brown eyes and dark hair, because he was born in Bethlehem, a district in a Middle Eastern country.  The fact that I have blue eyes and fair hair doesn't make me want to claim him as having that description.  Can't we all agree that Jesus was/is all things to all men?

>>Will we have any memory of what took place on earth? \n\nJesus taught that we will have memory of our life after death. Jesus told of a certain rich man and a beggar named Lazarus who when they died one went to hell and the other to heaven (a.k.a. Abraham's Side), respectively. In this passage Jesus alludes to the knowledge one has in the afterlife as to memory of the previous. The following is the account, notice specifically verses 25 and 28:\n\nLuke 16:19-31\n19 "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' 25 "But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' 27 "He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' 29 "Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' 30 "'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' 31 "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"\n\nAbraham, in verse 25, told the rich man, "Son, remember that in your lifetime," alluding to the fact that the rich man could remember his former time on earth. Then in verse 28 the rich man responded with concern for his family by saying, "for I have five brothers," exposing his knowledge of his previous time and current affairs of life on earth. If Jesus is to be trusted, then it seems as if Jesus believed that people have memory of their life on earth even after they pass into the next, whether heaven or hell, and so we can conclude that they do.\n\n\n\n>>What i mean is, could u go to heaven and be happy knowing that your family is destined to spend eternity in hell being tortured? or will we simply not know our family from anyone else? what do you guys think?\n\n\nThe Bible speaks of "torment" and not "torture" in hell. Which at first glance may not seem to be a big difference but is significant when you see what each word originally meant. Torment in the greek is the word Basanos and literally means a condition of retribution, toiling in distress. Whereas torture in the greek is Tumpanizo which means to beat (like a drum or tympany) to death and is used to describe the believers of God who were beaten to death for their faith in God (Hebrews 11:35).\n\nTo be in hell is to be in eternal distress (torment), under judgment and wrath from God because of His perfect justice. Basically, receiving what has been duly earned because of our sins (breaking God's commands). If one were to go to heaven while his family went to hell, there would be no sadness, but perhaps pity, for their plight since it will be after God's perfect judgment. They will receive punishment to the degree of their works done while in the body. 2 Corinthians 5:10 says, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, t

Well Luke did write that passage but your wondering who wrote the words that the angel said, correct? Well to tell you the absloute truth...you will have to believe in God and and die and ask God himself who did. My guess is God's secretary or maybe his assistant? But that is a very good Question. You should ponder it.

Martha was the sister of Mary of Bethany. We know only what we read about her in the Gospels of Luke and John. Whatever is said about her early life comes to us from apocryphal writings which usually are no more than the work of somebody's imagination. We know that she busied herself preparing a meal for Jesus and his disciples, then went to Jesus to complain that Mary did nothing while she had to do all the housework. It was at that time Jesus reminder her that Mary had chosen "the best part". Birth and death are only guesses. Death  around C 80, Birth, I can't see any date.
