Doesn't imply Lazarus did, it states that you don't find _new_ things in the past, they are _old_ things.

I'd have more sympathy fer Maia takin' things literally if she wasn't so completely evil.

In a comic panel the villainous and corpse-like Maia is staring down her sister Cela, who is holding a futuristic pistol up to her head. Maia says, "You dare aim a weapon at me?" Cela says, "A weapon? Moi? Nah, this is just a microphone! It's time for your big musical debut!" Maia says, "Mic check 1 2." Cela groans, "Oh my god." Then shouts, "Of course it's a gun you fool!" A caption reads, "A Kilowog-core Edit"

A quotation from Augustine:

«
But the ambiguities of metaphorical words, about which I am next to speak, demand no ordinary care and diligence. In the first place, we must beware of taking a figurative expression literally. For the saying of the apostle applies in this case too: “The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.”

Man skal være fri i sin #oversættelse, men loyal. #Bogstavelighed er et forræderi.

You must be free in your #translation, but loyal. #Literalism is a betrayal.

"The Christian story did not drop from heaven fully written. It grew and developed year by year over a period of forty-two to seventy years. That is not what most Christains have been taught to think, but it is factual. Christianity has always been an evolving story. It was never, even in the New Testament, a finished story." ~ J.S. Spong, “Biblical Literalism: A Gentile Heresy”

How people pick and choose which #Bible verses to take literally, which to enforce as #civillaw, tells us more about the person, than about God's will. The #Torah indeed is religiously amazing - but #fundamentalism combined with unexamined #prejudice (which we all have) prevents us from understanding it.
So on a related note, how do #Jewish people read the Torah?
