You seem to have forgotten to include reality in your speculations. You know, what you have been subject to since birth. Reality is used by the intelligent as a constant reliable constraint when trying to understand what was written in scripture using figurative language from the first page to the last to learn the lessons being taught and what the stories are literally about.Where is your evidence that the Jews of the day were mourning Lazarus losing his faith in Jesus? My evidence is the plain text of the Scripture.
No one after decomposing for four days in a desert tomb waltzes out as if nothing happened just because Jesus said so. Thats a fact. Here is your dilemma. If you are wrong, as I say so, and as reality, common sense, thousands of years of traditional Jewish literary devices used for teaching, and the Pharisaic ritual cleansing practices of the time confirm, then you died a very long time ago and wasted your time on earth believing in lies, setting aside Divine Law, and misleading others to do the same, which amounts to murder. Murderer.

I don't believe that God is a capricious and puerile petty tyrant.
