There not bringing themselves closer to God as Jesus spoke about that place he even made a story about it There was a rich man named Dives and a poor leper named Lazarus . Dives lived in a mansion and feasted sumptuously every day Lazarus sat outside at the gate of the rich man's house hoping someone might throw him some scraps from the rich man's table that never happened. In fact, dogs used to come and lick Lazarus' sores. One day they both died Lazarus went striaght to Heaven after, Dives died He went straight to hell. When he looked and saw Lazarus in Heaven having a good time, he wished he would just dip his finger in some water and let ta few drops fall upon his parched and burning tongue. But it could never be. He asked Abraham if he might go back and warn his brothers, because they were heading for the same place Abraham told him it would do no good. Jesus also told about the fate of the selfish at the Last Judgement.
