FytRobert, Good question. I have often pondered this same question. The answer has to be in the translation of "went up" or "ascended". Notice synonyms: arise, climb, escalate, float, fly, lift off, mount, move up, rise, scale, soar, sprout, take off, tower. A similar scripture using "ascended": Gen 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. Notice "ascending" here indicates rising to heaven by their own power. Elijah and Enoch did not "walk" up to heaven. They were "taken": Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him";[Gen 5:24] for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. |

Warning!!!! The above post by Nikkicole is based on false teaching! Watch Tower is the publication of the Jehovah Witnesses. Jehovah Witnesses are a false cult that has many strange teachings not the least of which, is the belief Jesus returned in 1918. Jehovah Witnesses are anti Christian and teach that unless you attend their church your deceived. They use a Bible called the New World Translation that basically a rewrite of the King James Bible that includes Jehovah Witness false teaching. While the Jehovah Witness will not formally reveal the names of the translators of their bible, their names have been discovered and none of them had any formal training in translation or even in Hebrew or Greek. Take these facts and apply them to Nikkicole’s post and decide for yourself how much credence you want to apply to what Nikkicole has written. |
