Eighth. In the parable, it says that between the place where Abraham was and hades, where the rich man found himself, there was a ‘great chasm’. And that it wasn’t possible to cross from one side to the other. Naturally, this is not any particular place, but, as we mentioned above, a particular manner of existence. There’s a clear distinction between Heaven and Hell as a specific way of life. Heaven and Hell don’t exist from God’s point of view but from ours. God sends His grace upon all people, since ‘He makes the sun rise upon the righteous and the unrighteous; and the rain fall upon the wicked and the good’. If God’s given us a commandment to love all people, ...

Sixth. While Lazarus was in the bosom of Abraham, the rich man was burning in hades. Indeed, he would beg Abraham to send Lazarus to cool his tongue, because ‘I am in agony in this flame’. The place the rich man is in is hades, not hell. Hell begins after Christ’s Second Coming and the Judgement. After their separation from the body, the souls of sinners dwell in hades. According to the teachings of the Holy Fathers, hades is a spiritual location, a foretaste of hell, when people will endure God’s energy as fire. There were lengthy discussion on these issues at the Council of Ferrara-Florence, and the revealing views and teaching of Saint Mark of Ephesus have survived. The fire in ...
