Eulalia: Jesus the son of God is sinless and very perfect. He NEVER lied. Elijah was transferred/ transported to another earthly location , not heaven. Thanks for bringing this up. Shalom 1 Like |

[quote author=Eulalia post=88366801] 2 Kings 2 1 When the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. 2 Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here; the LORD has sent me to Bethel." But Elisha said, "As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel. [Aside John 3:13, Jesus is called a forerunner in Hebrews 6:20 ] “where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” ~Hebrews 6:20 NKJV A forerunner signifies someone who goes in advance to a place where the rest are to follow.Nobody goes to this place before the forerunner. Christ, being our forerunner, opened heaven for the new creature. Elijah was not redeemed at that moment so he wasn’t a new creature. Therefore, he couldn’t have ascended to heaven. In addition to being the forerunner, Christ is also our first fruit. “But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming,” ~1 Corinthians 15:23 NASB The Hebrew word for first fruit is bikkurim—literally translated to “promise to come.” That is ,promise of the same kind. In this case, Christ being our first fruit means there’s a promise or assurance that those who are Christ- like in nature will enter into the same place He first entered as a forerunner for us. Now to the small matter of Elijah ascending to heaven in 2 Kings 2:1, it was already explained that the heaven is indeed air or sky, and not the habitation of God. He was transported so that his body was not found. The same happened to Enoch and Moses. “Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is across from Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead as far as Dan, all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, Then the LORD said to him, “This is the land of which I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.” So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this day.” ~Deuteronomy 34:1-2, 4-6 NKJV The emphasis is that their bodies were not found. |

ArisingStorm:Don't argue blindly. Those that you see , posting all these conspiracies, have not really read through the Bible I came upon this bible passage by God's grace: "And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after EASTER to bring him forth to the people". Acts:12:4 |

Blakewilli: You disappoint me. You really dont know who you are. And you need to wake up. I am trying to help you, am not your enemy, but if you allow pride and refuse, His Will be done. And when he had seized [Peter], he put him in prison and delivered him to four squads of soldiers of four each to guard him, purposing after the Passover to bring him forth to the people. Acts 12:4 AMPC https://bible.com/bible/8/act.12.4.AMPC So when he had seized him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to watch over him, intending to bring him before the people after Pĕsaḥ. Ma`asei (Acts) 12:4 https://bible.com/bible/316/act.12.4.TS2009 You are meant to be a leader, thats why I am disappointed in you, Now download any of those two version and compare all your chapters and verses with it.... Hopefully you wake up, Messiah was not an English Man, He was "Hebrew", The True Hebrews not the false ones you see in Israel at the moment. Wake up, They are manipulating and deceiving the whole world, You think the adversary is here to joke, wake up warrior. Shalom |
