Subject: Where was Lazarus for 4 days? |
Bible Note: Hi daniel! I will glorify the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who is Jesus Christ! For He did not think of Himself, but, His purpose was to do the will of God our Father, to die for our Sins! Prasie you Jesus Christ! You are Lord! I have read through all of the posts on this subject "Where was Lazarus for 4 days?" By your postings am I to understand that you believe that we simply fall asleep, and, do not exist until the return of Jesus? If so, I submit the following scripture(s): Mark 9:2 Six days later, Jesus *took with Him Peter and James and John, and *brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them; Mark 9:3 and His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them. Mark 9:4 Elijah appeared to them along with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. Mark 9:5 Peter *said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." Obviously Moses and Elijah exist. and Matt 22:32 'I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living." In addition, You say Lazarus was "asleep". As I read through this event in scripture, Jesus tells the disciples "Lazarus is dead". John 11:12 The disciples then said to Him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover." John 11:13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep. John 11:14 So Jesus then said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead, Nothing here intended to challenge you, or any other for that matter, just letting you know what I see. Hope to hear from you, and, anyone else that desires to join in, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continaully be in my mouth! |
