ENOCH AND ELIJAH ALL D!ED!

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. (KJV)

We have explained that the scriptures must be interpreted in the light of Christ. Everything recorded in the scriptures must be judged by what Jesus said and what was recorded in the epistles.

The prophets had partial knowledge of God. Therefore, they were not fully accurate in some of their utterances. Many people have interpreted the record about the faith of Enoch in Hebrews 11: 5 “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God” to mean that Enoch was raptured to Heaven without dying. If you pay attention to this text, the word heaven is even absent. It is an error to infuse heaven to it,

The author of the book of 2kings also recorded about Elijah in 2kings 2:11 that he went up by a whirlwind into heaven. This also appears to be saying that Elijah was raptured or taken to Heaven without dy!ng. If these people went or ascended to Heaven without dy!ng, then it contradicts what Jesus said in our opening text.

The author of the book of Hebrews who talked of the faith of these two elders emphatically said in Hebrews 11: 13 that “These all d!ed in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth”. This implies, all the elders mentioned in Hebrews 11 died.

The author goes on to verses 39 and 40 to say that, these elders could not achieve perfection without us. This means they could not achieve resurrection or immortality before Christ who is the firstfruit of our resurrection.

This corroborates what Jesus said in our opening text. Elijah and Enoch were not raptured to Heaven. Christ is the firstfruit of our resurrection and not Enoch or Elijah. Flesh and blood or mortality cannot enter Heaven. It could be that the author of the book of Kings had a partial revelation of God or our interpretation of those texts was inaccurate. There are various interpretations to these two people, but our study today is to establish the truth that Enoch and Elijah all died in faith.

Declare: I am growing in the knowledge of the scriptures. Thank you, Jesus.

We learned from the Pastor in the video that Jesus Christ came to fulfill the Law by dying, burying, and rising from the dead, thereby freeing man from the Law.

According to the Pastor, God now lives in us through His son, Jesus Christ, Colossians 2:8-9.

The pastor believes these rituals are ‘plain nonsense’ according to Paul because they were practiced while mankind was still under the Law. He also added that it has become a tradition among men.
Pastor Abel Damina: “This tradition among men is what Paul tagged Idol fancies or plain nonsense: just like first fruit, just like tithe, practicing them as if you are under the Law. This is because the Law is fulfilled and shouldn’t be thought of again.

“Because one person is doing it doesn’t make it right. The Book of Christian practice is the Bible, it is not ‘one-man there did it so let me do it’. In Colossians 2:9, all the fullness of God dwells in Christ, not in bread and wine. The fullness of God is in a person, it is not in a ritual. Verse 10 of Colossians 2 says the completeness of God is in Christ.

“No ritual is required, no types and shadows are required. The New Testament is not a Testament of the handkerchief as Mantle, it is not a Testament of Olive Oil as anointing, it is not a Testament of Water Baptism as symbolic to the death, burial, and resurrection, it is a Testament of reality.

“Our anointing is a person and He lives in us; our mantle is a person, He lives in us, our bread and wine is a person, He lives in us. Therefore, Jesus is the Oil, Jesus is the Mantle, Jesus is completeness of a deity in a bodily form and you are complete in Him.”

GRACE MAKES US RESPONSIBLE BELIVERS🥰💯👌🏿

GRACE MAKES US RESPONSIBLE*
‎
‎*GALATIANS 5:1*
‎*Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bo***ge. (KJV)*
‎
‎Everything about Christianity is based on what Christ has done on our behalf. We are saved by grace through faith in what Christ has done,
‎
‎Ephesians 2:8, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”. Our peace, justification, power, and anointing are all based on Christ’s finished work, Romans 5:1, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ”. The term finished work of Christ has been so misunderstood by many Christians to the point that to them, they don’t have to do anything because they are under grace. This is due to improper teaching and study of God’s word. We have the finished work of Christ, and we have the ongoing work of Christ. The opening text tells us that our role as Christians is to stand fast in the liberty given to us through the finished work of Christ. This means we have the responsibility to stand. It speaks of an activity or an engagement.
‎
‎That is, we have to stand in prayer, we do evangelism, we do the studying, we do the casting out of demons, we do the fleeing from youthful lust, and we have a responsibility to love one another. What Jesus finished on our behalf was to deal with sin which was the problem of the entire human race. Hence, we are saved by grace through faith and that is not of ourselves, it is the gift of God. Based on that, our responsibility as the saved ones is to make known to the whole world what Jesus has done. Grace makes us responsible. We are saved to serve or work. It is ignorance to use grace as the reason not to be responsible. Jesus did not finish all prayers He did not finish evangelizing the whole world. It is also wrong to live anyhow or put up sinful conduct because of grace. It is also wrong to dishonour ministers of the gospel or people in authority because of grace.
‎
‎There are things Jesus did not finish that we must deliberately do as believers. The finished work of Christ does not mean we have nothing to do. The finished work of Christ has not canceled fasting and prayers. It has not canceled giving or holy conduct. We must therefore be responsible believers and not hide behind finished work or grace and live an irresponsible life. Any believer living an
‎irresponsible life has not understood grace. Grace is not a license to laziness and an irresponsible lifestyle. If your understanding of the grace of God has taken away your prayer life, evangelism and submission to church authority and instructions, then you have not understood grace. You have been wrongly taught.
‎
‎*Grace has made me responsible in the area of prayer, evangelism, walking in love, studying to show myself approved unto God, and walking in faith, hence, the finished work of Christ is advanced.*
‎
‎*2Timothy 2:15, 1John 4: 7- 12, 1Thessalonians 5:14- 22
