My post stated the facts of Hebrews 11 and 12.
The definition of a witness is someone who watches or sees, not someone we watch. That is fact not opinion.
Its also fact that your interpretation of what Jesus said in Jn3v13 is proved completely false by the scriptures of people who went up to heaven before and after Jesus. Again scriptural fact, not opinion.
You clearly don't understand that all mankind from Adam onwards relied on Jesus to coming down as the basis of them going up to heaven.
And BTW, here's another one who went to heaven before his time and before Jesus came down.
Heb11v5By faith Enoch was translated not to see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him up.
Again fact, not opinion. Seems Enoch got the Elijah treatment, or maybe the other way around, but either way, they were both taken up to heaven which completely contradicts your posts. It is merely the body which dies, the spirit and soul is very much alive.
James2v26For just as the body apart from spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
Take not, it does not say that the spirit without the body is dead. That's because its the spirit within the body which gives it life, and that life can exist when the body dies.
False preachers in ravening wolves clothing would have you believe that people go to heaven; which is a lie
for they are calling Christ a Liar:
John 3:13 And
no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
1 Timothy 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto;
whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
1 John 4:12
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken up to heaven so that he did not see death; he was seen no longer, for God took him away: for before he was taken, witness had been given that he was well-pleasing to God:
2 Kings 2:11 And while they went on their way, going on talking together, suddenly there were carriages and horses of fire separating [from H995 בִּין A primitive root;
to separate mentally] them from one another and Elijah
departed aloft [ H8064 שָׁמֶה shaw-meh'] in a great wind. [alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move]
If it was to mean Heaven it would have to be G3772 οὐρανός sky.
2 Kings 2:12 And when Elisha saw it he gave a cry, My father, my father, the carriages of Israel and its horsemen! And
he saw him no longer; and he was full of grief.
James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 For as
the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
good works are second acts, necessarily flowing from the life of faith; to which may be added, and by these faith
appears to be living, lively and active, or such who perform them appear to be true and living believers. [GILL]
Exodus 24:10 And they saw the God of Israel.
"who was
the Angel that spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai" [GILL]
Exodus 24:9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
"and the seventy elders were not all the elders of Israel, but were so many of them selected out of them, the chief and principal; who were heads of tribes and families, and were no doubt many, if not all of them, of those who by the advice of Jethro were chosen to be rulers of thousands, hundreds, and fifties;
these were called to come up to the Lord on the mountain, but not to the top of it, only Moses went thither: [GILL]
2 Corinthians 12:2 I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only, who was taken up to the third heaven.
"whether in the body or out of the body, and which he repeats and refers to the knowledge of God, clearly shows
he must mean himself; besides, it would otherwise have been no instance of any vision of his, nor would the rapture of another have at all affected his character, commendation, and praise, or given him any occasion of glorying as this did: though he did not choose to take it, as is clear by his saying that if he gloried of it he should not be a fool, yet forbore, lest others should entertain too high an opinion of him" [GILL]
John 1:18
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
John 6:46
Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
