Apologetics: Genesis 5.24
Text
and Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. (Genesis 5:24) |
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. (2 Kings 2:11 ) |
And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is in heaven. (John 3:13 ) |
Problem
The Bible says that Enoch and Elijah ascended to heaven without dying, but Jesus says only He ascended to heaven.
