connection between the two Lazarus?

Question

Is there a lesson to be learned by the two, one was raised back to life, one went to heaven.Or was Lazarus just a common name and there was no connection.

Answer 1

There is no Biblical statement nor any reason to link the historical Lazarus with the beggar of Jesus’ illustration of the rich man and Lazarus.

2. The name given to the beggar in Jesus’ illustration commonly known as the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. (Lu 16:19-31) In the Vulgate the word “rich” has been rendered by the Latin adjective dives, which is often mistakenly used as the proper name of the rich man. However, the Jewish name Lazarus itself was common in ancient times, a fact borne out by ossuary inscriptions.

Answer 2

Lazarus was a common name. No connection between the Lazarus of Luke 16 and the one Jesus raised from the dead. (John 11,12)

Answer 3

No connection, just a common name.

Answer 4

There was no connection just the name

Answer 5

Jesus May have been gay or Bi-sexual!

Jesus hung out with a lot of unmarried folks, such as Mary and Martha and Lazarus. And their culture valued marriage and procreation even more highly than ours does. In many non-

Western cultures, men readily express affection to one another physically. That scandalizes the homophobic West. (Did the New Revised Standard Version translate John 13:23 "reclining next to him" because it couldn't handle a disciple reclining "in Jesus' bosom"?) Gay men, out of our experience, now lead the Western church in acknowledging physical affection between Jesus and the disciple whom he loved.

Answer 6

common name, no connection, one wasn't even real, just a character in a parable

Answer 7
