Why isn't Lazarus my next-door neighbor?

return of parakeet

After looking through Doug Mason's "Ransom" thread, I noticed a little discrepancy between dub doctrine and the Bible; i.e. Lazarus.

If the wages of sin is death, Lazarus paid the wages in full by dying, and when resurrected by Jesus, he should then have been a "perfect" man. After all, he paid his wages for his imperfection -- he died. So why did he have to die a second time (as if once wasn't enough to go through)?

Maybe he didn't die. Maybe he's here among us, a perfect human who must constantly change his identity and location to prevent discovery. Maybe he's hiding out at WTS headquarters.

Wish he was my next door neighbor. We'd have some really good chats, I'm sure.

Yeah, but it turns out he sinned again.

He said "This halibut is good enough for Jehovah" and promptly face-palmed.

Yes, good point!

All who die are supposedly forgiven of their sins.....

They was mentioned on a previous post. Jesus had not paid the ransom yet so everlasting life was not yet available or something like that?

If I died and someone brought me back to life I'd be ticked.

Searching for Lazarus like Crazy now. If I find , I would ask for his ID and DOB oops.... and Date of Resurrection.

Well what about the dude that fell out of a window in the book of Acts? That was after Jesus' death & resurrection.

Better question is why aren’t the saints that came to life in the tombs at jesus death not our nieghbor’s.? These were resurrected at Jesus death so one can not say his ransom doesn’t apply !

I'm going to ask this at the next cart I see. Great observation!
