Appears in this episode
Does the parable of the rich man and Lazarus from Luke 16:19-31 teach eternal conscious torment? Does it teach anything about hell at all? I explore the context and the main point of the parable and as far as I can see, it says very little about God's judgement after resurrection (i.e. Hell).

If you are inclined to think the parable should be taken literally, then there is a good and challenging read by Roger Harper, an Anglican vicar and Canon, here: http://rethinkinghell.com/2019/05/03/a-place-for-torment-in-conditionalism/
