Abraham replies that they already have Moses and the prophets to warn them. The rich man then begs Abraham to send Lazarus to warn his five brothers about Hades (16:27-41). A “great chasm” now exists between the two, which cannot be crossed. In their lifetimes, Lazarus suffered bad things and he experienced good things, but now Lazarus is comforted and he is in agony. The rich man asks Abraham to send Lazarus to ease his pain in Hades, but Abraham responds that this cannot be done. By contrast, the rich man finds himself in Hades, a place of torment and eternal punishment (10:15).Ī conversation ensues between the rich man and Abraham (16:24-26). After his death, Lazarus is carried away to an honored place beside Abraham, God’s friend and the father of Israel (3:8 13:28-29). Conversely, Lazarus was covered with sores, was hungry, and had only dogs to lick his sores. In his lifetime, the rich man ostentatiously displayed his wealth with beautiful clothes and lavish feasts. The story begins with a drastic reversal that happens after these two men die (16:19-23). By contrast, Lazarus is the only name given to anyone in Jesus’ parables it means El-azar, “God has helped.” (There appears to be no connection between this Lazarus and the resuscitated man in John 11:1-44.) The rich man has no name, although he’s been given various names in later history such as Dives, which means “rich” in Latin. The fates of these two individuals after death are very much tied to their experiences of wealth and poverty in this life. What the fuck is this sense of justice (and decided by a single judge instead of another jury)? We need enthusiastic consent laws NOW so that scumbags like this don't get away with raping people.As much as we would like to spiritualize the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus, it is very difficult to explain away its central message, especially given what Luke has to say about money and possessions elsewhere in his Gospel. So suddenly it's not about whether a rape victim gave consent or not, it's about whether a rapist 'believed' he had consent. Judge Roybyn Tupman found Lazarus had reasonable grounds to believe Ms Mullins was consenting to sex, even if in her own mind she was not. May 2017: Found not guilty at a judge-alone retrial in the District Court. The CCA ruled Judge Huggett should have told the jury they needed to decide whether Mr Lazarus had a 'reasonable belief' Ms Mullins was consenting to sex. ![]() Last time I made this post I had some guy come after me and make fun of my last posts for both studying at TAFE and Working for a time at McDonald’s so I’m really proud that I’ve really pissed off some silver spoon cunt who hates the working class and was probably a Lazarus.įuck the Lazarus family, read more about them below.įebruary 2015: Found guilty of rape after Judge Sarah Huggett told a jury it needed to decide whether there were reasonable grounds to believe Ms Mullins had consented to having sex with Mr Lazarus.Īpril 2016: Conviction quashed by the Court of Criminal Appeal (CCA) which found Judge Huggett had misdirected the jury. Just hope everyone in this community can just keep awareness up to ensure that the word is spread that people should be spending their money at more reputable Novacastrian owned businesses and who aren’t owned by little bitch boys who take advantage of girls. The beaches hotel, exchange and the shoal bay country club are owned by the family of Sydney side accused rapist scum Luke Lazarus who directly has management roles in these businesses. I’ve made this post before and I’ll probably do so every 6 months or so but to update anyone unaware
