1 | Dr. B. What does aggelos mean? | Eph 4:9 | drbloor | 171644 | ||
Dear Searcher, I can only assume you have not read a word I have written. I have not changed any words - I directed you to the original Greek word "Tartarus" to explain what was being referred to by "hell". I directed you to the examples in the Psalms to explain what the "chains of darkness" are. And I proved from Peter that the people of Sodom and Gomorrah are "reserved for judgment" in precisely the same way as these aggelos are. The similarity in their state is obvious because they are all dead humans. Please do not accuse me of changing words when I have not done that. In answer to what happened to the others, have you read 2 Peter 2 or Genesis 6? The aggelos of Peter were not spared and neither was "the old world". Everyone died apart from Noah and his family. Jude 1:6 and 7 are direct references to Peters letter, so there is no reason to cover the same issue twice. I don't understand this sentence - "Plus, if those in Genesis 6:2, how did they have relations?" You are very good at asking questions but not very good at answering them. So here's a few to start with (some of which you have already blatantly ignored): Please explain how angels can sin, when Christ told us that they can't. Please explain how the 50 men looking for Elijah thought they'd find him when Elisha had already told them that Elijah was in Heaven and, according to you, they had most probably watched Elijah go there. Please explain why you have invented a belief that they were after Elijahs spirit, when 2 Kings 2 actually tells us that they "afar off" and on the other side of the river Jordan during the conversation about double portions of spirit, and also tells us the exact reason they went to look for Elijah – that they were concerned about Elijahs safety and went to make sure he was okay? They urged Elisha until he was "shamed", not until he got angry with them for wanting Elijahs spirit! It is clear they cared about Elijah. Your claim they wanted double portions of Elijahs spirit is invented un-Biblical nonsense. In your own words, "Where is your Biblical support?" Please prove that the heaven we are referred to in 2 Kings 2 is the Heaven where God abides and not the heaven of the sky. Please prove your convolution that Elijahs letter was a prophecy and not simply a letter written at the time. Please explain why when Jesus said, "No man hath ascended up to heaven," he was actually lying. I look forward to your answers. In future, please read what I have written before you write your answers. It will help prevent you from making false accusations. Yrs, Dr. B. |

2 | Dr. B. What does aggelos mean? | Eph 4:9 | Searcher56 | 171661 | ||
Dr. B., You ask ... "Please prove that the heaven we are referred to in 2 Kings 2 is the Heaven where God abides and not the heaven of the sky." I never said that Shamayin (Aramaic) and shamayim (Hebrew) refer to both the sky (Gen 1:1)and the abode of God (Psa 2:4) ... and is the word in 2 Kings 2:11, so we don't know ... if it was heavens, it would make sense it would be sky. |

3 | Dr. B. What does aggelos mean? | Eph 4:9 | drbloor | 171663 | ||
Dear Searcher, If you believe that Elijah was taken into the heaven of the sky in 2 Kings 2, then where does your belief that he went to Heaven to be with God come from? Yrs, Dr. B. |

4 | Dr. B. What does aggelos mean? | Eph 4:9 | Searcher56 | 171665 | ||
... Where did I say Elijah went to Heaven to be with God? | ||||||
5 | Dr. B. What does aggelos mean? | Eph 4:9 | drbloor | 171667 | ||
Dear Searcher, My apologies if I have misunderstood. I was referring to your post no. 171501: -------------------------- 2 Chronicles 21:12 says "a letter came to Jehoram from Elijah the prophet" ... It doesn't say when Elijah wrote it. But, it was before he went to heaven (2 Kin 2:11). -------------------------- If what you meant was "the sky" and you do not believe he went to heaven where God is, then what happened to him? Provide scriptural evidence. 2 Chr 21 seems to indicate that Elijah was still alive on Earth at a later date, and I've seen no evidence to the contrary. Yrs, Dr. B. |

6 | Dr. B. What does aggelos mean? | Eph 4:9 | Searcher56 | 171669 | ||
Dr. B. ... We know what happened to him, because the Bible just says Elijah "went up by a whirlwind to heaven" (2 Kin 2:11) "And he saw Elijah no more" (v 12). Again, the letter (2 Chr 21) doesn't prove Elijah was still alive. I think if he was, the king would have asked to seen him . | ||||||
7 | Dr. B. What does aggelos mean? | Eph 4:9 | drbloor | 171678 | ||
Dear Searcher, You have yet to provide Biblical evidence for what happened to Elijah. Your story appears to stop when he is taken up in a whirlwind into the sky. Did he just stop there and fly about? Please illuminate me on where you think the Bible says he went, and please provide Biblical support. Yrs, Dr. B. |

8 | Dr. B. What does aggelos mean? | Eph 4:9 | Searcher56 | 171691 | ||
You need to prove where he went if not heaven - the Bible says he went to heaven. The Bible doesn't play games. | ||||||
9 | Dr. B. What does aggelos mean? | Eph 4:9 | drbloor | 171695 | ||
Dear Searcher, Thank you for your thoughts. It has certainly been interesting, but also confusing. I still don't know where you think Elijah went. As I've said, your story ends with him floating about in the air. You say you don't believe Elijah went to the Heaven where God is, so you must be saying that he went into the heaven of the sky. But then what? You seem to have no idea what happened. The sky wasn't his final destination was it? If so, is he still up there? What does he do all day? Doesn't he get bored? The Bible says he went into the sky, but that after that he wrote a letter to the King. So he must have gone via the sky to another location. After all, the Bible doesn't play games. I think you are right to call a halt to this discussion now because it will go nowhere until you figure out in your own mind what really happened to Elijah. Anyway, thanks again for your thoughts. Dr. B. |

We see Elijah at the Transfiguration (Mark 9:4) with Moses and the Lord ... in between the Bible doesn't say, so it is a guess ... and that is not worth my time. | ||||||
