1 | Enoch and Elijah didn't see God yet? | John 3:13 | BMyers | 232516 | ||
I still disagree with your understanding of the Scriptures. To make John 3:13 fit into your understanding, you have to disregard the other Scriptures that clearly state these individuals did not die. I have spent some time this evening reading in commentaries, books, and different study Bibles just on John 3:13 and NONE of them come to the conclusion that you have. On page 282 of Figures of Speech Used in the Bible, "It does not deny that men like Enoch and Elijah had been taken up by God, which is a very different thing." (If I knew how to type all the Greek characters and such I would of put in the whole article, which is interesting.) As far as 2 Chronicles 21:12-15, that is easy, mail service is bad today, what do you think it was like back then! (Just a little humor, my wife is a mail carrier.) Realistically, reading in commentaries, the experts don't agree. It could be the date of his chariot ride occurred after the letter. It could be he sent the letter then was taken up, not like the letters were delivered quickly. So the letter is a non-issue in my book. I don't pretend to be a Bible Scholar, I only wish I had more time to spend reading and studying the Word. Although I do like a good conversation like this that gets me digging and piling up books all around me. I will still have to respectfully disagree with you, but unfortunately I just don't have the time or skills to get in-depth. Off to bed, have a long day tomorrow. Brad |

2 | Enoch and Elijah didn't see God yet? | John 3:13 | EdB | 232517 | ||
Not to be picky if we read the 2 Chron. letter the content of that letter has tense changes certain events are viewed from the past tense and others from the future. This pretty much requires that the letter was written after the fact for some of the events detailed and before other events. Secondly Elijah didn't take a chariot ride he took a whirlwind ride. Truthfully we can't know for sure but I thought the articles I referrenced/quoted were very interesting and offered a lot of food for thought |
