If this is true where is Lazarus who was resurected from the dead? Did he die twice or is he still around us somewhere?

Ha Ha. Good point! If Lazarus died again then it contradicted the Bible. The Bible did not speak about exception. What is true to one should be true to everyone else. So this could be the reason why there are groups who still believe Lazarus is still alive today. Convenient I would say b/c The Bible's integrity won't be messed up.

Lazarus was brought from death before this was written. I imagine that we are unable to bring a person from DeAtH to life after that length of time at all. GOD certainly works in mysterious ways. Have a great evening.

Lazarus was, of course, an exception.
He was raised from the dead by Jesus
but probably did die a natural death later on.
He was not ressurected.

Biblical points with what is known scientifically of the death process
humans, for example, when the heart stops beating, the blood ceases to circulate nourishment and oxygen (obtained by breathing) to the billions of body cells
The first reference to death in the Scriptures occurs at Genesis 2:16, 17 in God’s command to the first man concerning the eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, violation of which command would result in death
This miracle of Lazarus’ resurrection served well as part of Jesus’ ministry, both to illustrate the power of the Son of God and to increase faith in him and the resurrection. (Joh 11:4, 41, 42)
death was not the natural, purposed thing for humans. , God indicated that he purposed the earth to be full of living humans, not a deteriorating, dying race.
. (Ge 1:28) (in this verse)Such blessing certainly did not include sickness and death
death was introduced into the human race by the transgression of Adam. (Ro 5:12)
The resurrection was brought in, or added, to overcome this disability for those of Adam’s children who would desire to be obedient to God.
Resurrections were performed by or through the prophets Elijah and Elisha. (1Ki 17:17-24; 2Ki 4:32-37; 13:20, 21)
However, these resurrected persons died again, as did those resurrected by Jesus when he was on earth as well as those resurrected by the apostles. This reveals that resurrection is not to everlasting life in every case
The resurrection of Lazarus is just one of nine miracles of this kind recorded in God’s Word
They teach us that God is not partial, for the resurrected ones include young and old, male and female, Israelite and non-Israelite. And what joy is described in these passages! For example, when Jesus raised a young girl from the dead, her parents “were beside themselves with great ecstasy.” (Mark 5:42)
those resurrected by Jesus eventually died again
These Bible accounts confirm important truths and give us hope.
The account of Lazarus also teaches us that the resurrection is a reality, not a mere myth. Jesus raised Lazarus in front of a crowd of eyewitnesses

When Jesus brought him back from the dead He effectively reversed death so it did not count as a death at all.
