> Luke 16:19-31, the story of Lazarus and the rich man, is sometimes interpreted as telling us that rich people should go to hell, and that poverty guarantees admittance to heaven. We could point out that the issue was not poverty or wealth, but how the rich man's heart was inclined. If the point of the story is that the rich go to hell, and the poor go to heaven, then what was Abraham, a wealthy tribal chieftain, doing on the Paradise side with Lazarus?
