“Of course by this definition Lazarus must be excluded”
Lazarus coming back to life was a miracle done by Jesus.
So you are saying Lazurus wasn’t dead?
It was a trick or something?
You don’t seem to understand what you are saying.
If one comes back he was not dead.
Dead is when you dont come back

No, you are the one who said if one "comes back" he was not dead. I am saying that your definition is flawed. Lazarus was dead. Lazarus came back. I believe that Jesus did, in fact, perform a miracle, and Lazarus was actually dead, and did "come back". Not only Lazarus, but others too, and not only by Jesus, but also by several of the prophets and apostles. By your definition, not mine, neither Jesus, nor the prophets, nor the apostles could have performed these miracles.
I submit that your definition is flawed, and thus the logic of your arguments is also flawed.
I submit you don’t know what miracle means.
So which is it?
By your reckoning, if anyone who "comes back" from the dead, was never dead to begin with, then one cannot "come back" from the dead, by miracle or otherwise.
