Jesus said to a certain man give up everything and follow him. The man didn't, but yet Jesus raised him from the dead.

I know about the rich young ruler who went away very sad because he could not give up his wealthy to follow Jesus..

I also know about Lazarus one of many Jesus raised from the dead....

I have not read that the same 'rich young man' of one parable was raised from the dead?

Can you site the chapter and verse...sounds interesting....

$1 says there is no such thing found in the Bible.
Although it's even money that you will get another asinine statement of "fact" in response.

Luke 16:19-31

"There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him,
'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'
"But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'
"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'
"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' " 'No, father Abraham,' "he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' "

God taught this to men so that they would do from their own hearts, not because the UN, or some govm't decided to force it for their own glory and purposes.
