Why Didn't Lazarus See The Visions Of Heaven And Hell When He Died ? by Ukutsgp(m): 5:44pm On Nov 23, 2013
The way people see visions of heaven and hell this days is becoming too rampant. I begin to ask myself this question that, why didn't Lazarus and others who woke up from the dead miraculously in the bible did not went to heaven and hell to see how it look like and begin to tell the story of their encounter in heaven and hell to generate money. Is it that there is no hell or heaven at that time? Or the people of that time did not need the warning of hell-fire? Or maybe it was just a religious propaganda by our modern pastors and Evangelist? or is it another avenue to make money for themselves by selling the CDs and books? Or perhaps, the word of God is not complete that it require some visions to embellish it? Many questions to ask these visioneers. I cant understand this recent development of seeing visions of heaven and hell here and there.

And the worst thing is that those people normally claim to have seen servants of God such as Benson Idahosa, Bimbo Odukoya and others who had passed on languishing in hell-fire just to make some money. I pity them. GOD is nt the author of confusion, his word is enough for us.

And again this people contradict the teaching of paul concerning the resurrection of the dead in the last days. 1 corinthians 15.

One thing i know is that those visions are all false and ficticious. They are all man-made stories and therefore should be discarded. Galatians 1:6-10. Read ur bible which is the word of God and that should be enough. Dnt let those people mislead u.

Drop ur comments now and let us sought this thing out.

The OP has said it all. jesus ressurected lazarus, paul resurected that young boy that fell from the window, elijah resurected also did elisha. none of the resurrected ever gave tales of heaven and hell. all this started after the death of the apostles when false teaching became rampant up to this day. when one dies the bible says his thoughts perish Ecc 9:5,6. how can someone whos thoughts perish can ponder over what he saw when he died so as to be able to relate it to others alife? its safe to say that the person didnt die and is a liar.

how dyu know the people who resurrected in the bible didn't see visions of heaven/hell?!?
the fact that the bible didn't tell ain't enough reason to speculate!
PS: I ain't saying they saw any visions either!

One needs to be careful with these visions of hell and heaven,I believe majority of them if not all are handiwork of satan to bring confusion,fear,division and lukewarmness into the heart of the believe and also to mock christainity but GOD CAN'T be mocked,we all need to sit down with the BIBLE and know what it says.
Any vision that will cause division,confusion and fear to the believer i believe CANNOT be from God.(IMO).

It is those who believe in visions of hell and heaven that are speculating bogus visions of hell and heaven , which are not once mentioned in the bible.

be consistent .

- Charles Spurgeon was a Calvinist who believed in the once saved always saved doctrine.
- Charles Spurgeon smoked cigars as a matter of habit.
- He also preached on eternal torment.

So you believe in eternal torment like he did, what about smoking cigars and eternal security ? cool

Well,I believe there is heaven and hell and that unbelievers will be put in hell,but all theses visions? We need a break.
.
Come to think of it when the rich man asked Abraham to send someone to his brothers,Abraham told him that prophets and the scriptures are enough for them to believe(paraphraed by me)...So i don't know why some people wld have to wait for someone to go to hell and come back with the news of Heaven and hell before they can believe,it shows the level of their walk with God,so shallow!

Read John 11.
nice observation. But first i will like to correct you of one thing
any sin commited against the holy spirit can not be forgiven. If it's true or not you are not sure, then dont go to the extent of calling it lies. Instead you say can it be true? So that you dont sin against the holyspirit because if it's true, and you call it lie, then you are sinning against the holyspirit.
Also dont forget the fact that the bible said in the book of joel2:28 it shall come to pass that I'll pour out my spirit, your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old shall men shall dream, and your young men shall see visions.
Dont forget that, this is the time the bible was refering to.
John belove saw a vision and it became book of revelation, also Daniel wrote about his vision, etc
Truely, Lazarus, Dorcas, etc died and came back to life, but doesnt mean they never saw anything when they died. If they didnt see anything, then there is no life after death. Even any of their word was not recorded in the bible, and that doesnt mean, they didn't see anything.
Even Jesus himself talk about the man who he saw in heaven and in hell (rich man and Lazarus)
satan may have set up some people to forge lies I cant dispute that, because I heard about a man who claim to go to hell and heaven and said, there is nothing bad for women to dress like jezebel, we dont need to allow the holy spirit to tell us if he's telling lies or true, cos we self know that.

A man taken to the mortuary for 3days after car accident and later came back to life, and doctor show every record about his death, he was condem to hell because he didnt forgive his wife after she slap her. We dont need holyspirit to tell us if its true or false because All fact about his condemnation are in the bible, ie forgive.
The mistake many people do now is they exalt vision of hell and heaven than the word of God, it's not to be so. Jesus love us truely and will not want any to perish, so I believe he's only given expo to help us escape hell.
I've read about 8yrs girl and many teenagers even here in nigeria that has seen the vision of hell and heaven, and doesnt mean they are lies, but their vision is to help us to be more serious on this righteous path.
Finally, becos God show you hell and heaven, doesnt mean you are save, you can still end up in hell.
E.g.
Nebuchadnezar saw vision of endtime but was not save
pharoah saw vision
Balam Ass even saw angel but ass cant be saved and many more.
It is very bad to make money out of what God gave to you, it was given to you freely, it doesnt mean you are save or not, making cd and selling to make money for yourself is very bad.

If unbelievers of christianity are put in hell.
You would also be put to hell for unbelieving judaism, Islam and going against ur ancestral spirituality.

So think about it

The lord knew what he's doing. Truely he said that, but because of his love for man kind and to let people understand how horible it is, he remember his word in joel2:28. God is a God of his word.
People dont fear hell, reading the bible explaination. Eg
Before many believer belive hell is just a fire, but these revelation is to explain how dangerous and horrible hell is to lukwarm christains. God keep showing us vision so that we will choose either to go or not, and also how little sin people dont count can lead us there so that he will be justify
psalm51:4b so that thou art justified in thy sentence and blameless in thy judgement.
Any revelation that will make you to respect God and even fear him the more and get serious in serving him are true

you can fall at any level. God is not a respecter of anyman. Even satan dont respect you, that's why the bible said, many will try to enter trough the gate but will not be able. Who are the many? believers of Christ
dont think because you are a general overseer you cant go to hell.
I've heard of a general overseer who has preached holyness for 30yrs but unable to enter because of anger, and a pastor that died in car accident and was taken to motuary for 3days but woke up, was unable to enter because he fail to forgive his wife after she slaped her, also a pastor that fail to help the poor in the church even when they come to him for help, he will only pray for them, he was unable to enter. All this reason were all confirmed in the bible, so think of it, a bishop can end up there
