To respect God is to respect the truth: an incoherent message cannot come from God; incoherence is exposed, not blessed. The Lazarus Paradox. █
The Lazarus Paradox: Does Man Die Only Once or Twice?
Does Lazarus walk among us… and is he over 2,000 years old? If Jesus resurrected Lazarus, the question is simple: Did he die again… or would he be nearly 2,000 years old today? Hebrews 9:27 clearly states: ‘Man dies only once.’ But in Juan 11:43-44 it is claimed: ‘Lazarus, come out! And he who had died came out.’ Then only three options remain:
Option 1: Lazarus did not die again. If so, he would be nearly 2,000 years old. Has anyone seen him?
Option 2: Lazarus did die again. Then man does not die ‘only once.’
Option 3: The story was added centuries later and we were told something that never happened. In short: someone invented it… and millions never questioned it.
Three options. Think carefully: Which of them is the most logical? A Roman emperor could have thought: ‘I will say that everyone should worship him (Hebrews 1:6), I will associate him with Zeus, I will attribute miracles to him, and in the end everyone will worship Jupiter, our Roman god.’
The Bible also speaks of other resurrections: “Little girl, get up!” (Mark 5:41) — and Jairus’ daughter lived again. “Young man, I say to you, get up.” (Luke 7:14) — and the son of the widow of Nain got up. Matthew 27:52-53 claims that after the death of Jesus: “The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised…” The Old Testament also recounts resurrections: the son of the widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17:17-24), the son of the Shunammite (2 Kings 4:32-37), and a dead man who comes back to life upon touching Elisha’s bones (2 Kings 13:20-21).
The only logical option is: Option 3: The stories were added later and never occurred. Because this situation is absurd: The press interviews the resurrected Lazarus, and he tells them: “Hebrews 9:27 says that man dies only once, that’s why I’m still here.”
If there was manipulation of the message, Rome could not limit itself to altering recent texts, because the religion it persecuted already possessed writings centuries before the Roman Empire existed. Therefore, to impose a new message, it was also necessary to adapt the ancient texts so that the whole appeared coherent.
The message in Hebrews 9:27 cannot be true at the same time that Jesus resurrected Lazarus and other men were resurrected thousands of years ago. If that is the case, where are they if indeed one only dies once?
Ayudando al pensamiento crítico a sacudirse de dogmas impuestos desde la niñez. Soy creador del blog: https://ntiend.me (https://gabriels.work).
Este blog no solo está en español y tiene como propósito respetar la inteligencia frente al dogma.
Este blog no fue creado para defender la Biblia ni para buscarle una interpretación alternativa, porque eso sería darle crédito como un bloque coherente de mensajes. Los textos allí atribuidos a los santos contienen contradicciones demasiado numerosas para etiquetarlas como simples accidentes o diferencias de interpretación. Mientras se atribuye a los santos mensajes tanto de amor como de odio hacia sus enemigos, aquí hay gato encerrado. La cuestión no es cómo interpretar la Biblia o sus enigmas, sino saber hasta dónde llegan las raíces del engaño: si los mensajes están adulterados, no tiene sentido perder el tiempo intentando descifrar enigmas bíblicos posiblemente adulterados por la mano que mató a los santos y se apoderó de sus escritos para arrogarse la autoridad moral de determinar qué escritura, original o escrita por esa mano asesina, debía considerarse “la verdad” y cuál no.

Helping critical thinking shake off the dogmas imposed since childhood. I am the creator of the blog: https://ntiend.me (https://gabriels.work).
This blog is not only in Spanish and is intended to respect intelligence in the face of dogma.
This blog was not created to defend the Bible or to seek an alternative interpretation of it, because that would give it credit as a coherent body of messages. The texts attributed there to the saints contain far too many contradictions to dismiss them as mere accidents or differences in interpretation. While the saints are attributed with messages expressing both love and hatred toward their enemies, there is something fishy going on here. The question is not how to interpret the Bible or its enigmas, but rather how deep the roots of the deception go: if the messages have been adulterated, there is no point wasting time trying to decipher biblical enigmas possibly adulterated by the hand that killed the saints and seized their writings in order to arrogate to itself the moral authority to determine which writing, original or written by that murderous hand, was to be considered “the truth” and which was not.
