Where Clergy and Laypeople Discuss God

The use of the expression "Abraham's bosom," was part of a parable/illustration given by Jesus.  Specifically, the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus.

"Abraham's bosom" is a term similar to Abel's blood "crying out from the ground." Neither term is to be taken literally. The first term is one of endearment.

Hi John. No, I haven't come often enough. It got to the point of realizing that nobody changes their mind via chat forums, so it ends up seeming like an "eternal arguing loop." Everyone's minds are already made up, whether it be about doctrinal issues or political issues or whatever else. Conversely, I'm pursuing a graduate degree in theology and should graduate in the Fall of 2020, if there are no unexpected surprises.
