first off, when using the Bible you might want to make sure you spell things right, especially when trying to MAKE A POINT. I wasn't trying to disprove this statement. I was simply trying to write my opinion down. Also I wanted to tell you that I do like your point about the death being that spent in eternal fire and damnation. Another point that I think might be over looked is that in theory Jesus could have come to these men. Since it says the only way to the Father is through Jesus, this may have allowed him to take them up. I would be interested to know what you think in regards to this. Also I have read other posts by you and I must say you do seem to speek with a spiritual knowledge. I pray that what you pass on brings others closer to God. God bless. | ||||||

You stated, "Since it says the only way to the Father is through Jesus, this may have allowed him to take them up. I would be interested to know what you think in regards to this. Also I have read other posts by you and I must say you do seem to speek with a spiritual knowledge. I pray that what you pass on brings others closer to God. God bless." IF ONE NEVER REMENBERS ANY OTHER WORD I SAY, I PRAY THAT THEY WILL REMEMBER THIS... IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT I OR ANYONE ELSE "THINKS" WHERE THE (WORD OF GOD) IS CONCERNED. IT ONLY MATTERS (WHAT) THE WORD OF GOD IS, AND WHETHER OR NOT IT IS IN THE HEART. FOR (YOU) AND (YOU) ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ETERNAL SOUL. I AM ONLY A MESSENGER. I GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE TO HE WHO ORIGINATED THAT WHICH I SO HUMBLY DELIVER, THE GOD OF GODS; FATHER OF MY SAVIOR, FOR ALL WHO WOULD RECIEVE. Actually, you misinterpret the fact that “the only way to the Father is through Jesus.” Jesus Christ died for our sins. If we know Him, we know the Father. If we know not the Son, likewise we know not the Father. The only way to the to the Father is through the Son. In other words. We must not only believe in Jesus (for Satan himself believes in him,) but we must also believe what He said and strive to live according to His teachings. The greatest of which is “to love your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus himself said this. (BNB) Mat 22:39 The second most important commandment is like it: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' If this is the second most important commandment, I wonder what the first one was…. So… I seriously doubt that Enoch and Elijah were taken up by Jesus, for He hadn’t even been born yet. Thus, this occurrence is irrelevant to the fact that “says the only way to the Father is through Jesus.” I hope my feeble explination is adequate to solve your curiosity, but I would challenge you to get into the word and verify what I have said. (KJV) 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

First off let me say that I take what you say to heart, as I do with all who have the intention of spreading God's word. Although i take offence to the statment that i "misinterpret the fact that “the only way to the Father is through Jesus.”" Not because i believe i am necissarily right in my interpretation, but because only God could correctly interpret his word. This may be your interpretation, but nothing more, just as the same can be said for what i write. Secondly I am curious if ou view what i write as "profane and vain babblings". If so that is not the intent and perhaps you are in the wrong place if you do not think questions should be allowed, or discussion. Also I hope you have read the post I made moments before this reply. Finally, Ezekiel 33: 8, 9 "When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself." We are more responsible for others that your statment would lead one to believe. God bless, and as a precaution to my previous messages, please feel free to point out any place that I seemed rude and i will do my best to correct that and in advance i apologize. | ||||||

I was going to ignore your last such request. However, I am truly saddened that you are so personally offended. I will not argue the point. This is twice now you have suggested I leave this sight. If you are so filled with guilt by the word of truth that you have taken so much that I have quoted from the word as a (personal) attack (when it was not intended as such,) that you should scorn me with such blasphemies, I would respectfully request that you neither read nor respond to my posts. I don’t claim to be perfect. What I state is biblical and not up for anyones interpretation. I would also inform you that, unless this sight belongs to you personally, I have just as much right to it as yourself. End of discussion. Respectfully George |

Once again it seems that I am in the wrong. I apologize for implying that you should leave this site. Anyone who is intent on spreading the word of God I am sure is welcome. Now that I have apologized I would hope that you will be able to forgive me for my rudeness. Also I hope that others would look at the notes i've made that have scriptural refference, in addition to the ones i've made with the mistake of leaving them out. Others here (not you George) seem to be very quick to make judgements on my knowledge of scripture without actually dicussing anything with me. Well to all I have but one thing to say. May God bless you and make the wonder of his glory be seen by all. | ||||||

Again, If I weren't to accept your apology, then I couldn't ask you to accept mine, which I do. Some want not to show their own ignorance by not "discussing anything with you" Schmythe. Others simply haven't the patience. Still, as with myself, others are offended by your method of discussion. Learn by what you see in the experiences of others. Try not to make the same mistakes they did and do. There is a Gold mine of learning along this line in this thread alone. Look at some of my posts. I haven't always worded them right, and thus came across saying something I didn't intend to say. Other times, what I wrote wasn't read correctly, and thus came across as an offence to the reader. Someone noted on this sight, in this thread , I think, something to the affect that "Christians don't come together to discuss scripture in the spirit of love because...." I wish I could remember who wrote it, and where that note was! For I simply don't believe that there is a true Christian alive who wishes to disagree with another Christian. Why CAN'T we agree? (I've got to do some serious studying!) It was as such in the early days of the church, and is as such today. BUT WHY? (Scriptural quotes please.) George |
