Bible Note: No one has ascended into heaven except... Nicodemus said to him, "How can these things be?" [10] Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things? [11] Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony. [12] If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? [13] No one has ascended into heaven except him who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. (John 3:9-13 (ESV)) 3:13 "No one has ascended into heaven." 'This verse contradicts other religious systems' claims to special revelation from God. Jesus insisted that no one has ascended to heaven in such a way as to return and talk about heavenly things (compare 2 Cor. 12:1-4). Only He had His permanent abode in heaven prior to His incarnation and, therefore, only He has the true knowledge regarding heavenly wisdom.' (MacArthur Study Bible) Jeff W: Read verse 13 in context. Then read the study note. In this verse Jesus is not on earth and in heaven at the same time. Grace to you, Kalos |
