Prologue:
AV Mt 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Some will know these 'secret's from the Holy Spirit's enlightenment.
"I did not imply that this was a true story.", Some would disagree with you. What was the prevalent understanding of death of those Jesus was speaking with ???
Yours in Christ, Michael

That depends on spiritual perspective, in your opinion.You are the one saying that Jesus could lie, not I.
What is your understanding of the climax/point of Truth in the parable, that Jesus was telling ???I did not imply that this was a true story. What I said was that Jesus would have been telling the listeners a biblical lie about what happens after death if what he describes in the parable about what happens after death were not true.
