I knew he was a Christian and a conservative. I didn't know this of him. Interesting.
Christians do ask why our Lord would not just bless Lazarus' soul in transition to Heaven instead of bringing him back to this life, since he would just die again. Apparently, living here on earth must have its value – big time.
Well stated.
It's about whether conscious Spirit gave rise to the material world we know – or the material world gave rise to consciousness. Take your pick.
When put in that context it gives pause. As well it should.
Good piece by Mr. Boone. These three periods, imo, worth a second glance.

I think the reason that He wanted Lazarus to live was to be a witness to God's redemptive plan.
