Now I see there where Christ is raised from the dead. But we can we find others who are raised from the dead or resurrected?
Lazerous would count as a resurrection.
He died too you know.
The key word for the conversation is "RESURRECTION".
Why? There are many examples of "resurrection" in the text that do not use that word.
Joh_11:11 These things He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up."
Joh_11:14 Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.
Joh_11:43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"
Joh_12:1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.
Joh_12:9 Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
Joh_12:17 Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness.

The prophets and apostles never made sensational claims nor did they attempt to deceive.
They also never talked about a 1,000 year period when Jesus would perform funeral services after His Second Coming.

The evidence is plain: NO translator of the New Testament used the word "Resurrect" (to my knowledge) when speaking of the born again walk. Perhaps you need to do a new translation. One more out of hundreds should be fine.Stop avoiding the evidence above. It is not lending any credibility to your posts.
Show us in ANY translation of the New Testament into English where the translator has used the word "resurrection" in reference to being born again. Find just one and I will forever hold my peace on this.You are living in denial. The only way you can say this is by ducking around the various watertight Scriptures above that negate your position. Please address.
I will tell you why. All of those countries lay within the boundaries of the promised land except most of Egypt.
Heb 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

So you can't find not one single prophet or apostle claiming to have been resurrected?
I didn't think you would.
The prophets and apostles never made sensational claims nor did they attempt to deceive.
So you believe God lied to Abraham.
Interesting you believe God lied.
I'm more interested in why the OP feels the need to misrepresent the views of those they disagree with.

Hebrews 11:15-16 is referring to Abraham and the other Old Testament Saints.
Do you believe the author of the Book of Hebrews is lying?
.
Revelation shows when that city shall come down to earth where the saints live.
God did not promise Abraham the stars. He promised him a specific amount of property in the middle east and told him the boundaries of that property.
Either the author of the Book of Hebrews is confused in the passage below, or you are confused. Notice the word "now" in verse 16.
Heb 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Heb 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Below we find what Jesus said in the Book of Revelation, instead of what you are saying.
Rev_3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
.
Not only do you say Abraham will not receive that property, you also don't believe anyone can live outside that property.
My son turned 5 today. There are many cherished moments with him that I cannot repeat, gone forever and trapped in my memories. for example I will never hold him in my arms rocking him to sleep again or I will never see priceless joy on his face as he takes his first steps again. Death to the old and resurrection of the new is an innate force of existence.As some people on this board say they have already been resurrected once. It makes me wonder how many resurrections do they believe Jesus had. I've read he was resurrected. That he died and came back to life. But how many more resurrections do you believe he had and do you believe he may have more to come? How many resurrections do you believe you will have?
Which part of the passage below do you not understand?
What does the word "now" mean to you?
Heb 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Heb 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
