Bible Note: Schmythe I tend to agree with the latter portion of your post rather than the first. As you said. We can only speculate as to the witness, HOWEVER, "ALL HAVE SINED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OG GOD." this blows your first thought out of the water. Our Savior was "without blemish;" PERFECT. As was posted in not so many words in this thread earlier (I think it was EdB. Please, someone correct me if I am wrong,) Who is to say that that Enoch and Elijah's deaths weren't simply delayed? As, the Lord had more for those two (nearly perfect) saints to complete. George |
