A very nice description of translation Vickie One I think many can learn from:)However in the post I was not referring to translation but transfiguration a physical change. trans·fig·u·ra·tion a. A marked change in form or appearance; a metamorphosis. b. A change that glorifies or exalts.Gen 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he [was] not; for God took him.Transfiguration is a change in appearance: a glorifying, This event in Jesus life appears in three of the Gospels: Matthew , Mark and Luke. Jesus was transformed,(transfigured) or glorified, by God, and His face was shining like the sun, and his clothes became white as light . Other miraculous signs followed. Moses and Elijah appeared,
Hi my dear sweet, well versed in scriptures SISTER! I love reading you well thought out responses. I believed the same as you in the way you have read and studied. The bible sometimes due to translators doctrinal teachings will translate words flavored by their doctrinal teachings. The NIV has a great amount in it, though I use the NIV and love it dearly. ie like the word rise used in I Thess 4:15 should read just changed. And I myself use rise without thinking, but it is misleading to the reader and I must stop it. Hebrews 11:5 is the verse used to create the doctrine that Enoch was translated and in heaven. No where in the bible does any one ever go to heaven, nor do we for the earth is our inheritance for eternity. This is what the bible speaks in all prophecy. Hebrews 11:13 All these people which included Enoch in verse 5 "WHERE STILL LIVING BY FAITH WHEN THEY DIED." Enoch we are told was still living by faith when he died and Moses and Abraham, etc. To go to the last paragraph in Hebrews 11, verse 39-40 These were all commended for their faith, YET NOT ONE OF THEM RECEIVED THE PROMISE. Heb. 11:40 God planned something better for us so that ONLY TOGETHER WITH US would they with out us should not be made perfect. This verse is saying that they have not acquired the promise ahead of us, but together we will all be made perfect. God through his grace has shown us the reality that He would not go against what he has promised all of us together, not one, including Enoch will receive unless we all have been given the promise of eternal life. This strengthens us in surety of the promise that is coming and it keeps all of God's words in harmony and truth that is pure and not muddled with doctrines that have been built on one or two verses that have been flavored by translators with doctrinal understandings. Remember Moses had to wear a veil over his face. For the glory of Christ shown in Him was veiled to the house of Israel. His had a transfiguration of Christ living in him, that the Israelites did not. IN Christ's precious and holy words of lifeVickie
