Because Jesus also said he was not Elijah. That is what we call a paradox and we have to be sure there are no contradictions.Well Jesus already said that, so why would you care
Because Jesus also said he was not Elijah. That is what we call a paradox and we have to be sure there are no contradictions.
The Bible said he was buryed. "He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no one knows his burial place to this day” (Deuteronomy 34:5–6). Enoch was taken alive and did not leave a body behind. Although actually everyone is taken when they die. To be raptured means to be snatched up out of the body to heaven to be with the lord. The pretrib rapture means all who are alive in Christ will be taken before the tribulation period. Because they restrain evil so they have to be removed. If there was a nuclear war and a lot of people died at once then the would not even know that there was a rapture. It is believed that the resurrection is at the end of the 1,000 year reign of christ when we will return and be reunited with our body and life out our life forever here on the Earth.How do you know? No one saw how Moses left the earth.
I care that there appears to be a contradiction but when I check it out it is just a paradox. People give me contradictions all the time but when I check into them there is no contradiction. I am convinced that there are no contradictions in the Bible.Well Jesus already said that, so why would you care that John did not make a similar claim?

In Matthew 11:14, Jesus refers to John the Baptist:no contradiction, no paradox.
In Matthew 11:14, Jesus refers to John the Baptist:
John’s Denial:
- “And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.”
- Here, Jesus acknowledges the connection between John and the prophetic role of Elijah.
- Interestingly, when asked directly, John the Baptist denied being Elijah (John 1:21).
- He understood that he was not the literal Elijah but rather the fulfillment of the prophetic expectation.
Moses wrote those words before He walked out into the desert. He told them not to come looking, so he told them he would be buried, not that he was already buried. Moses was punished, unlike Elijah, who was obedient to God. Moses would never have a glorious departure from the earth, like Elijah did. But Moses still could enter Paradise.The Bible said he was buryed. "He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no one knows his burial place to this day” (Deuteronomy 34:5–6). Enoch was taken alive and did not leave a body behind.

I think people fight and argue over who, what, when and why. So we need to read the bible and be lead by the Holy Spirit of God and with so many opposing viewpoints we need to be careful. For me those that do not believe in a pretrib rapture most likely well be left behind. If there is a 7 year tribulation period because the scriptura is not real clear on that.
That would be 66 years after Jesus was born. We believe Jesus died when he was 33. The math is there but the Bible says no one would know the day or the time. The emphasis on not knowing the exact time also reflects the need for trust in God’s divine plan and timing.They did exactly this and finished in AD 70.
I only quote what I am commenting on. If I quote your whole post people would not know what I am commenting on.PS, you keep selectively quoting me, leaving out the part that explains my reasoning.
There is no room for error. God watches over His word so what we read is exact and precise.Moses was punished, unlike Elijah, who was obedient to God.

Jesus is saying If P then Q.
Since P did not come about, whether Q is true or not does not matter, no contradiction, no paradox.
I believe you got that wrong. There is no doubt that God will do what he said he will do, but what God said to Jeremiah 1:10, 1:11,was not precise or exact, but abstract, the rod of the almond tree is symbolic.There is no room for error. God watches over His word so what we read is exact and precise.
- Jeremiah 1:12: "Then the Lord said to me, 'You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.'"
- Isaiah 55:11: "So shall My word be that goes out from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it."
Maybe you should study up on the butterfly effect if you want to see how exact and precise the weather is. Have you heard of global warming? The average global temperature has increased by 1.1°C (1.9°F) since 1880.Isaiah 55:10 explains the exactness of Isaiah 55:11.
Jesus made his prophecy when he was preaching as an adult, shortly before he died. A generation, to the Jew, was 40 years. No one knew the exact day or hour. When the Christians saw that Jerusalem was becoming surrounded by the Roman armies (the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel), they fled out of the city before the attack began. The Jew, Flavius Josephus, recorded the destruction of Jerusalem in his writings.That would be 66 years after Jesus was born. We believe Jesus died when he was 33. The math is there but the Bible says no one would know the day or the time. The emphasis on not knowing the exact time also reflects the need for trust in God’s divine plan and timing.

The butterfly effect is a concept from chaos theory that illustrates how small changes or actions can lead to significant and unpredictable consequences over time. The term comes from the idea that the fluttering of a butterfly's wings in one part of the world could potentially cause a chain of events that leads to a hurricane in another part of the world.
Key Points:
- Origin: The concept was popularized by meteorologist Edward Lorenz, who discovered that tiny differences in initial conditions could produce vastly different outcomes in weather models.
Precision: In systems sensitive to initial conditions, like weather models, even rounding off a number by a tiny fraction (e.g., from 0.123456 to 0.12345) can lead to entirely different outcomes over time.
The planets affect each other so there is planet wobble. The math is exact but complicated and that makes it difficult. Also the greenhouse effect is a factor. This has a lot to do with the windows of heaven and the floodgates of the earth.it is the sun that gives us ice ages or what else.
Hoax or not the permafrost is melting and causing problems for people. In Alaska they had to move a whole village because of the ice and permafrost melting.climate change is a hoax
One of the techniques I sometime use is that I highlight (in red) the particular portion of the other poster's content... like I did to yours above.I only quote what I am commenting on. If I quote your whole post people would not know what I am commenting on.
