There are two errors in this allegory I disagree with tho i see where the you neogaia777 was going with it. Here are my objections sir;
The allegory said had bob larva buddies saw him they would of not recognized him as a mosquito.
The reality said Christ when he had resurrected on the third day were seen if by Mary first then the apostles in his immortal glorified state/body and they all recognized him and had no need to doubt who he was because they knew him.

Last but not least
Your allegory said that our love ones who died is in heaven and cannot speak with those who are alive on the earth.
The question is who told you this and where is your scripture to promote this new yet old doctrine?
The reality scripture says all who die In Christ he shall raise them again on the last day.how could one be raise from death if one is already alive In heaven? The order of Christ death even shows that when a man dies he neither goes to the lake of fire or heaven but sleeps in the grave until resurrection morning.Christ told Mary to touch me not for I have not ascended unto my Father. This also negated those who use what Christ said to the thief on the cross. When scriptures declare in acts that Christ didn't ascend back to heaven until 40 days after his resurrection.

That's because God made it so Christ could come back. Dead loved ones, for example, go on, but don't get to come back...

God Bless!

If that were true then who are they that resurrect out the graves at the sound of the last trump? Just how God raised Christ from the grave so are they that die in him shall he raised at his coming on the "Last Day".

She is talking about death sir. Our bodies lie in the casket (dead), but we still live in spirit and we cannot tell our loved ones that we are ok. Absent from the body, present with the Lord. It really is a good analogy of our eternal life.

Yes the spirt or life does go back to The Lord but your understanding about the dead is not biblical the book of Ecclesiastes declare that the dead knows nothing that all their memory perish King David even declare in the Psalms that the dead cannot praise God in the grave so if one is dead or asleep how can you be alive in the spirit in heaven consciously this is error and the bible doesn't teach that madam.

The dead body that is in the grave knows nothing, it is dead. Your spirit is with God and very alive sir . It is very scriptural. The story of the certain Rich man and Lazarus. And this was not a parable.

Many take the "parable" of Lazarus and the rich man to leteral. Chrissy used certain metaphors in which the Hebrews would relate to and understand. What your gonna say next that all the dead in Christ resides in Abraham's bosom where Lazarus was? Abraham is dead so is Isaac and Jacob all the saints in Christ even peter in acts says that David is not in heaven. Therefore where did this doctrine come from that people In Christ dead are in heaven right now very much alive.James used an allegory of faith without works is dead just like the body without the soul. When God breathe the breath of life in Adam man became a living soul until then Adam didn't cease to exist until breathe I life entered him he wasn't in heaven as a spirit with God then God send him to the earthly vessel. adam became alive when life entered the body. Saint become alive at the last trump of God in the last day because Jesus said he is the resurrection and life.

1Cor 15-20:24
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

In no wise will Christ be calling dead saints back down from heaven to the grave where their body lay jus to raise them back to heaven with him again. The bible doesn't teach that nor does it make any sense.When Christ told Lazarus to come forth he looked at the tomb where his body lied and Lazarus came forth he didn't look up to heaven and said lazurite come down but rather come forth from the grave where he lied because Lazarus life rested in Christ because he is the resurrection having the power From God his Father.

If you don't want to believe you have eternal , never ending life then fine. I am not going to argue with you about it. You can have what you say. I think you are just arguing for the sake of argument; disagreeing for the sake of being disagreeable.

It's a false theological analogy. Jesus did rise from the dead with true flesh and bones. They did not recognize him because God caused them not to recognize him until God decided for them to recognize him.

Because of the lack of faith in those things he told them while he was yet with them.
