Bible Note: 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. |
