At that time a literal interpretation of Mosaic law was compulsory. If Lazarus was a friend to Jesus and was following his teachings on the law then to the establishment he would have been rendered ritually unclean and banned from society, the synagogue, etc.,. When Lazarus was losing faith in Jesus he was told by other fiends that Lazarus was dying, thinking about returning to the tomb of pharisaic beliefs and practices. Then finally they said that Lazarus was dead.
The practice of ritual purification and returning to good standing in society was that the person would spend 6 days quarantined in a windowless room, unwashed, and alone. On the 7th day they would emerge and take a ritual bath and would be declared ritually clean. and so on....
Jesus strolling by on the forth day told his friends not to worry, Lazarus was only sleeping, and then he told them to open the door to the ritual purification tomb that Lazarus was quarentined in. They said that his body would stink after four days unwashed in the desert tomb. Go figure.
Who wouldn't stink after four days of being unwashed in a windowless desert tomb...
When Jesus cried out for Lazarus to emerge and he did, a miracle!, he told his disciples to remove his grave bindings, in other words Jesus told his disciples to deprogram Lazarus.
It was as miraculous as if the Pope came out of his tomb and was seen dancing naked in the streets of Rome drinking and partying with "sinners" and "keeping company" with prostitutes.
Or as miraculous as if the people beguiled by trump suddenly awakened from their deep sleep.
Well, maybe not that miraculous...but a miracle nevertheless.
You've been whining about me not believing you see ghosts for how many posts now?I don't want or need you to validate me, where did you get that silly idea from? I'm willing to do you the favor of showing you how to confirm the existence of spirits and the paranormal for yourself. The YouTube videos were just an example of what you're going to experience. Like I said, whether you do it or not is entirely up to you.
Why is it you believe a bunch illiterate superstitious people from the Iron Age who didn't even know the earth was round?View attachment 910312
Lazarus of Bethany
it was not about his appearance, it is showing that Christ can bring the dead back to life, this is the resurrection, Barabbas asks Lazaur what feels like to be dead, and his answer is, that dead is death, noting. When Barabbas died, he said I see nothing thing
And the Pope already knows this.
when a person is not saved, he or she will experience, a spiritual death, they will meet their destiny.
Read Hebrews 9: 27
it is not what I believe, it is whether or not what you believe!Why is it you believe a bunch illiterate superstitious people from the Iron Age who didn't even know the earth was round?
After death, you go to the Pearly Gates to meet St Peter, like Mother Theresa. Except with her, St Peter stopped her from entering in order to ask her a few questions.![]()
Where Does the Soul Go After We Die?
My husband and I disagree about where our souls go after we die. I believe that you are judged right away and that if you are found worthy your soul will go to Heaven immediately. My husband believ…www.catholiceducation.org
This site sounds pretty Catholic so far, meaning it is not Francis-esque (alleged-pope reference)
I agree. Except that I am not sure that you realize that the subject of the dead coming back to life are the dead, accursed, who have died as a consequence of defying the Divine commands.it was not about his appearance, it is showing that Christ can bring the dead back to life, this is the resurrection,
They were far more in touch with reality than people are now and by far more intelligent than anyone who went to school yet doesn't realize that they used metaphors and allegories as literary teaching devices thousands of years ago for their children to learn about the harsh realities of the world around them filled with illiterate and violent knuckle dragging barbarians.Why is it you believe a bunch illiterate superstitious people from the Iron Age who didn't even know the earth was round?
Christ already has his chosen his people, before the foundation of the worldI agree. Except that I am not sure that you realize that the subject of the dead coming back to life are the dead, accursed, who have died as a consequence of defying the Divine commands.
The resurrection was never about the resumption of a former existence like in 'the night of the living dead" crawling out of their graves. Its about entry into a new existence. There are two resurrections. The first resurrection is about leaving the tomb of false religion or the grave of worldly pursuits. The second death is about death of the body which will not harm anyone who has taken part in the first resurrection as Jesus did when he escaped the tomb of false religious beliefs and degrading practices based on the wrong way to understand the figurative language and hidden subjects of the law based on what Jesus called "the traditions of men", what is now known as the talmud, detailing how the Law was followed ever since the death of Moses who said that after his death the people will turn aside from the way he taught to follow the Law.
Remember? The Law presents a choice between a blessing and a curse, life and death.
Jesus did away with sin, death, the curse, insanity, by teaching and demonstrating the only right way to understand and comply with the divine commands that reveals the wisdom of a loving and benevolent God and fulfills the promise of LIFE for all who listen and act on it.
Eat his flesh and drink his blood; accept his teaching and do it. Life is in the blood, in the doing.
And God breathed the "breath of life" (the Anck) into the nostrils of Adam.Nepes the word used in translation as soul actually means breath
That would explain why people who set aside the Law of God and turn to a lifeless matzo for spiritual life or worship Jesus as a triune mangod don't seem to remember the first commandment... they are dead and the dead know nothing, even that they are cursed, right?Psalms says, no more memory in death.
I never said God wants you to seek suffering. I said God does his best work when people are suffering. Why? Because suffering strips away their pride. Some people have to reach rock bottom before they change their ways. I'd like to say it's your lack of understanding that is hindering your progress but really it's your pride. Just remember... laughing leads to crying. So yuk it up while you can.You said that God does his best work when people are suffering. I prefer not suffering. If God wants me to seek suffering so I can see His glory then He is not an omniscient god. I avoid suffering. I will not suffer for God's benefit. That's actually very disgusting. At least the god you are talking about has some of the same attributes of the god in the Bible. The god you usually talk about would never seek enjoyment from the suffering of others. The god in the Bible would but I thought the god you worshipped was much better than the god in the Bible. Have you switched gods recently?
Why do you talk to me? Surely there is a good reason.I never said God wants you to seek suffering. I said God does his best work when people are suffering. Why?

lol....
The answer you seek is in the Parable of the Prodigal Son.Why do you talk to me? Surely there is a good reason.
Why doesn't God talk to me? Surely there is a good reason.
You don't need to worry all that much. If God wants something from me, He can send me a message, call me, email me, knock on my door, or suck me up in a tube in the middle of the night. If God communicates to me by telling you what to tell me then I have zero respect for Him. If He doesn't exist then I have a little more respect for Him because what He has done as a non-existent being is quite impressive. If He exists then what He has done really sucks ass.
See #813 and then try to convince me that Paul, who you quote, wasn't an enemy of Christ....Christ already has his chosen his people, before the foundation of the world
Read Romans 8: 29-30; Isaiah 42:1.
and by the way, this read 2 Corinthians 11: 4
You see nothing but the delusions of your unrestrained imagination. If scripture is true then you are not just blind, you are cursed, dead, and not just merely dead but really quite sincerely dead.I see right through you.
