Let me repeat: No one has claimed Hades and Gehenna are the same thing. They are not the same. Like you said, eventually Gehenna will be thrown to the lake of fire. The Bible does not teach anyone is in Gehenna aka the lake of fire until after the judgment day. Also, believers who have passed away are not where Lazarus was, they are with Christ. The parable is an illustration of two destinations.
LOL it is hades thrown into the lake of fire, NOT Gehenna.
Please, by all means, explain the reason why he told the story?
So, you would not have to feel like this:
"‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house— for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment"

Unfortunately you are not listening.
Is this conversation taking place from the grave, one of fiery torment before judgment?
Or, are YOU making assumptions about the Lake of fire that will purify and cleanse the soul.
