Where Was Lazarus Soul After 3 Days He Died by Baltazarcus(m): 10:24am On Apr 02, 2017
[b][/b]I HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR CHRISTIAN BRETHREN HERE PLS DO ME A FAVOUR BY ANSWERING THIS QUESTION OF MINE

SO I DECIDED TO GO TO CHURCH TODAY BECAUSE OF THE INTENSE PRESSURE FROM MY PARENTS AND FRIENDS , WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR THE CHIEF CELEBRANT TO GIVE HIS SERMON THEME WAS "JESUS RAISED LAZARUS FROM THE DEAD "
WHEN I HEARD THAT I SAID TO MYSELF WOW , BUT AGAIN I RAISED A QUESTION IN MY HEART WHICH IS
*, AFTERLIFE CONSIST OF HEAVEN AND HELL
JESUS RAISED LAZARUS FROM THE DEAD AFTER 3 DAYS RIGHT ?
* HOW MANY DAYS WILL IT TAKE FOR ONE TO BE JUDGED ONCE ONE DIED , IS IT 1 OR 2 OR 3 AND WILL JUDGEMENT COMMENCE IMMIDIATELY AFTER DEATH
*WHEN LAZARUS DIED , WHERE DID HIS SOUL STAYED DURING THE 3 DAYS HE DIED BEFORE JESUS RESURRECTED HIM , WAS HE IN HEAVEN OR HELL
*IF IN HEAVEN , DOES IT MEAN HE ENJOYED HIMSELF FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE COMING BACK TO EARTH ? WHO WOULD LIKE THAT ?
*IF IN HELL , DOES IT MEAN THAT JESUS BROKE THE RULES GUIDING THE HELL THAT ONCE ONE WENT THERE THAT IT IS FOR ETERNITY NO COMING BACK ?

MY QUESTION IS WHERE EXACTLY WAS LAZARUS SOUL WAS BEFORE JESUS RESURECTED HIM?

Do you want the truth or speculations?
Cos obviously none has the true answer, all we have are specs.
For starters, the bible gives no account of such.

The soul was still attached to the body via the silver cord...The is similar to a foetus umbilical cord. But in invisible form.The connection severs gradually as decomposition progresses.

Lazarus was only dead for 3 days so the connection of the silver cord to the body was still intact.


Jesus Christ literally commanded the soul back into his body.

U know history is a book where one or group of people can easil and safelyy insert their own account ,

I thought the church preaches once one died he soul leaves immidiately for judgement .
If i were to go by what u said , how many days will it take for the soul to leave after death beacuse the jews believe that after 3 days one died he cannot come back to life again

Babies are born into this world with an umbilical cord connecting them to the life-giving source of the mother which is disconnected after birth. People die and enter the spirit world with an "umbilical-like cord" connecting their spirit body to the life-giving source of the
physical body which is disconnected after death.

Many near-death and out-of-body experiencers have described seeing this "umbilical-like cord" connecting their spirit body to their physical body. Many religious traditions describe this spirit-body connecting cord which is commonly known as the "silver cord." Just as the baby's umbilical cord must be severed for the baby to experience life, the silver cord must be severed for the spirit body to experience spiritual life.

It is believed that the near-death experience does not involve the silver cord becoming severed; otherwise, the near-death experience would then become irreversible bodily death.

if you indeed know where the soul of abraham was then you should be able to decipher where his soul was when Jesus Told The Story Of Rich Man In Hell And Lazarus In The Bossom Of Abraham
Re: Where Was Lazarus Soul After 3 Days He Died by zionmade(m): 10:57am On Apr 02, 2017
Lazarus went to Abraham's bossom after death. Now nobody human went directly to heaven before d death of Jesus. That is d reason d graves of the righteous were opened wen Jesus defeated d devil in hell, it was a transportation from Abraham's bossom to heaven
If God could command Ezekiel to speak life to dry bones and life came into dem after years of being dead or a man whose corpse was dumped on d bones of Elisha rose to life, den d resurrection of Lazarus was just in line with those ones

Ecclesiastes 12:6-7 New International Version (NIV) Remember him—before the silver cord is severed, 6 and the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, and the wheel broken at the well, and the dust returns to the ground it came from, 7 and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
Re: Where Was Lazarus Soul After 3 Days He Died by FreshboyNeeNee(m): 11:02am On Apr 02, 2017
There is no knowledge in the grave... death is a deep sleep.. he didn't go nowhere..he was simply in an unconscious sleep-like state which is why he couldn't give no account of what has happened during the three days in which he was dead (asleep)
And also "For it is appointed for man to die once and after that the judgement " doesn't necessarily mean man gets judged immediately he dies,it simply means after death the next action is judgement...

I once had this question in mind,and after searching through the bible for answers,I got nothing specific.
Only a theory about "hell" being divided into two compartments; on one side is the paradise(or abraham's bosom,using the popular parable "The Rich man and Lazarus"wink,on the other side is a place of torment.All the dead are sorted according to their deeds into either of these places and await the Last Day when they will all be judged finally.

Verse 6 of the quoted above appears to use two metaphors to speak of death. The first is of a silver chord and a golden bowl most likely the bowl was used as an oil light, suspended by a chord.

Dying is compared to the breaking of this chord and the crashing of the bowl down to the ground, whereupon it shatters and its light is extinguished. Second, death is compared to a pitcher used to draw water at a well.


Death is like the breaking of this pitcher and the pulley which was used to let it down. No more water can be drawn; death has conquered.
"It is interesting that both of these images, the symbols of water and light, are used elsewhere in the scriptures as metaphors for life. The consequence of this termination of life is the decaying process by which the dust returns to the earth.

The spirit, in a reversal of Genesis 2, "returns unto God who gave it." This is what death is all about: the shattering of all man's hope, and the cessation of everything that he was and stood for."

The silver cord is what connects the real person to this complex spacesuit called body. The real you gains complete spirituality the moment that cord is severed. I quite agree with you.

I will shed more light as professor of bible. no one ever went to heaven or hell before the coming and dead of Jesus. The bible made it clear that the all went to Sheol (both good and bad guys). the word Sheol appears 64 times in the bible. let me take two example from the list .

David was aware that he will go to Sheol when he dies. so he pleaded to God not to allow him to stay there for long .

psalm 16:10

For you will not leave my soul in sheol; neither will you
allow your Holy One to see corruption.

the second example was when Jacob was mourning for the dead of Joseph and refuse to be comforted. he told them that he will die and join his dead son in Sheol.

genesis 37:35

Gen 37:35

All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” His father wept for him.

so from just this two example ,the bible made it very clear what happens before Jesus came and died. the all went to Sheol. the soul of Lazarus was in Sheol during that three days



but after the resurrection of Jesus, both the good and bad guys no longer go to Sheol (land of the dead).the good ones goes to what the bible call paradise. the will remain there until the second resurrection and judgment. while the bad guys remain in a place of darkness until judgement and second death when the will be condemn to hell

It is sleep..Lazarus & every other person that has died since the days of Adam are asleep & will only rise to face judgement when the time is nigh.
No one is in Heaven or Hell cause no one has already been Judged & deemed fit for commendation or condemnation by the Father Yet
Re: Where Was Lazarus Soul After 3 Days He Died by MrRichmond: 5:22pm On Apr 02, 2017
No matter how you want to twist it.
the fact is that the explanation of post death by Christians is very flawed with a lot of inconsistencies.
One has to question if they even really understand the subject.
The story of Lazarus and Abraham was one of Jesus' parables and should not be taken literally.
Christians often claim after death is judgement, but a lot of places in the Bible say the opposite.
death is likened to a deep sleep.
Now another problem is that Christians in recent times that have supposedly died and came back to life often claim they went to hell of heaven and they saw Michael Jackson and Tupac Lol
Anyway, this their stories contradict the Bible which calls death a deep slumber, and people swallow this shii like hot eba

To my knowledge, after death is judgement. If one make heaven, the soul sleeps on till rapture day when dey shall all resurrect for d second coming of Christ (dats d reason dey writes "rest in peace" cos we all assume such person will make heaven) If it's hell, then d soul starts receiving punishment in hell immediately after judgement .... God as a merciful father makes exception for his warrior prophets, those who do his biding without arguments, those that doesn't look at things of this world except heaven.. Those prophets like Elijah and Co.... Note that, there's an appointed time one is destined to die, God's word stands sure nd can never go back, unfortunately if one die before God's appointed time , then such soul wanders around(dats wat yoruba pple call "akudaya") till Gods appointed time for such soul for judgement.... Dats d reason Dr. D. K. olukoya usually says" Stop them before they stop you".

Sorry sir. The story of the rich man and Lazarus was not one of Jesus' parables. It was a true life story. Jesus said "A certain rich man and a certain poor man named Lazarus......". Thanks.

Even this u come up with has its own illogical fallacies.

1. u said they are first sorted according to their deeds into two places . " deeds " indicate that a kind of judgement has taken place to ascertian where they belong


Now at the end you talk about another judgement again , are you now telling us there would be two judgements ? of what purpose is the second judgement if the first has no mistake ?
