The question remains:
When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead,
where was Lazarus at that time?

1. Heaven?

Why would Jesus recall Lazarus from Heaven?

2. Hell?

No one comes back from hell. It's a one way trip.

3. Purgatory?
The only viable answer, and it's scriptural.

Purge-A-Tory?

Scriptural? More like "Fictional"

Hey, the atheist tmurphy hanging around a Catholic news group. Here you go,
little timmy. Now, are you going to surprise everyone, and especially me, and
actually respond with a real comment, or are you simply going to play the
typical children's game and bleep out something like "purge-a-tory" as your
limiting response of intelligence?

Rev 21:27: "?nothing unclean will enter heaven?"
Mat 5:8: "Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God"
Heb 12:14: "strive?for that holiness without which no one will see the Lord".
Mat 5:48: "?be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect".

Now here's the kicker.

Matthew 12
32Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone
who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or
in the age to come.

What age to come? "Speaking against the Son of Man" forgiven in the age to come
and "nothing unclean will enter heaven" are contradictory terms in scripture if
there is nothing in between; ie, a state of purging of the sin nature.

Note:

Matthew 12
32Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone
who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or
in the age to come.

Speaking against the Son of Man (man) can be forgiven in the next age. Anyone
who speaks against the Holy Spirit (God) will not be forgiven in the next age.

Now Rev 21:27 says: "?nothing unclean will enter heaven?". That means there is
an age to come that is short of heaven because sins can be forgiven there
whereas no sin enters heaven.
