3 | Elijah and Heaven | Gen 5:4 | mr.b | 119107 | ||
Hank, help me over a hump. I am close to losing faith in the ministers that I am so fond of. My faith must ultimately rest in God and his word, however I depend on my elders to teach and to look toward as an example. The word on the street, from christian mouths, is that the prophet Elijah was taken to heaven. Taken up into the sky in a whirlwind yes, but certainly not into Heaven. Jesus himself spoke that no man has ascended into Heaven...(which brings up another question entirely) but, to the point; later on in 2 chronicles Elijah is seen at work again. How can I have trust or faith in the teachers when I find myself alone. If I can read this account, then surely they can also. Yet I frequently hear from all the popular teachers that Elijah was taken to heaven. The word can be used liberaly. The high walls of jericho were said to be as high as heaven. Nobody would assume that it was meant literaly. The bottom line is that he is seen at work elsewhere, and Jesus himself said no man has ascended into heaven. It feels hard to back talk the popular teachers, and yet I need to worship and look to my elders. Place a good shoe where it needs(gently) and boost me past this mudhole I'm convinced that I'm stuck in | ||||||
