Jesus was said to have healed the sick and it oftentimes are still effective at the present times by just mentioning his name...but if you read the New Testament during his mission, Jesus always said, " Get up, your faith has healed you". Therefore it needed someone who have the faith. Have you ever experienced being sick because you wished it? It can be the same thing as believing you are not sick anymore if you believe it firmly.
Raising Lazarus from the dead can be explained by some possible theories that he was just commatose at that time (when no medical doctors then knew about that kind of condition in a patient). Possibility also that those close to Lazarus and those who believed in Jesus had caused Lazarus to rise up through their extreme faith it will happen.

Jesus most certainly did raise Lazarus from the dead.
John 11:43-44 (NIV)
When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" [44] The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.
Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go."
All Christians have the belief that when Christ returns, they will also be resurrected.

Yes. He waited four days to make sure people knew he was dead so when Jesus raised lazarus it was proof that only God could raise a corps.

I believe that he did. If God is the creator of life, and is outside of the laws that govern the world (sorta like the dungeon master in a game of D&D...best answer for the D&D reference? =)) then based on the relationship that Jesus had with God, it is not unreasonable to believe that Jesus was able to raise Lazarus from death, through the power of God.

Yes He did. He purposely stayed behind when hearing Lazarus was sick. He is the one who told His disciples Lazarus was asleep (dead) that to then go to Lazarus. It was to show He can raise the dead also.

That' what it says in the Bible. It's really a matter of faith whether or not you believe it. If, as I believe, Jesus is God, it should have been no problem for him to heal the sick or raise the dead.

I believe the Holy Bible...100%.
I believe Jesus had the power to raise the dead. I believe he could heal. It's something that scared the Pharisees.

If you believe that Jesus heals the sick why then is it hard to believe He raised Lazarus back to life? All things are possible for God. death can't even defeat Him.

This was the last greatest thing He did before His own people put HIm on a cross, yes He could have got there earlier but when Jesus according to us is late He is STILL right on time besides He needed to prove to you and me that death is no problem for the Second member of The Godhead Jesus Christ. free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com God bless.

Did Lazarus die subsequently or he went on living forever?Each time he dies and can be resurrected won't he be an immortal?That would be cool man.!
