Was Lazarus resurrected if so how was his different to Christ's resurrection?
If Lazarus was resurrected as he died four days earlier why was Christ not resurrected as He died 3 days earlier?
Please help me find a biblical reference to show what exactly happened different with Lazarus's resurrection.
Thank you @BAR- ANERGES for your uninformed answer.
1. "The Bible is very clear that human bodies cannot live in the spirit realm so Christ could not have been resurrected with a body of flesh."
Where did BAR-ANERGES get the idea that Christ was anywhere else but still on earth appearing in the actual body that still had the nail and spear holes and he ate and drank, something that spirits don't do.
2, "1Pet. 3:18 is a very explicit and clear verse which *proves* that Christ was raised with a spirit body and not a physical one."
He then believes the words, "made alive IN THE SPIRIT" somehow prove something it clearly does not say, "made alive as a spirit". We are to pray in the spirit, does that mean we are spirits?
3. "1 Cor. 15:50 " However, this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, neither does corruption inherit incorruption" (Cf. Ac.13:34). Only spirit persons with spirit bodies can
Only spirit persons with spirit bodies can live in heaven."
Now he wants us to believe that Christ that came from heaven to die for us and shed his blood for us has no right to return to heaven so He must inherit a place in heaven. Would BA need to re-buy his house if he went away for a few years, would he need to inherit it to return to his home?
4. "1 Cor. 15:45:"
He is still just assuming that Christ had a heavenly body!
5. "Heb. 1:3"
He want us to believe that because Christ is the exact image of God who is spirit that Christ must also be spirit but rules out the idea that as the exact image he is therefore God.
He has no idea what he is on about just JW's false teachings, did we get to where Christ changed to Michael?
