   I know that but note the word SUGGEST.  Read my previous post in which I
show you the quote in which Rice DID NOT SAY "Lazarus, Jesus' SUGGESTED

He did not qualify it in any way.  He set it forth as INDUBITABLE TRUTH. 
   BTW, YOU seem to be more cautious in your statements and I admire
intellecltual honesty.  
Sincerely,
