Bible Note: Thank You RoaringLion, Thats the first time I beleive I actually understood John 3:13. Ive always asked the question, well what about Enoch and Elijah they went to heaven didnt they? At first glance I was ready to ask the question if maybe you thought that Enoch and Elijah were types and shadows of what we are translated to in Christ. And then I answered my own question with, "Yes" but they must have died in order to line up with scripture. The new knowledge you given me hasnt caused me to ask alot of questions, but rather answered a few of them. For instance: When Paul says 1Co 15:51 Behold, I speak a mystery to you; we shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed; The only way Paul could say that this was a mystery is because it is unheard of, even to this day that any person has changed without falling asleep.
