A Question on "Sin"...???

[Bikini Mod]

The prophet Elijah was taken to heaven by angels in a flaming chariot without having died a mortal death.

Was the other not the Virgin Mary? Did she not also ascend into heaven without first having died?

 

[Bikini Mod]

OOPS! I goofed on the Mary thing. She first died and was ressurected, ascended to heaven where her body and spirit were reunited.

But, the Prophet Elijah - I KNOW FOR FACT I AM CORRECT.


Hey, what do you want? I was raised a protestant!

As for another guess as to who the other man was... would it have been one of the twelve apostles... perhaps Peter? I KNOW it could not have been Judas Iscariat - that fucking sellout LOL!

Enoch in the old testament (I think)

Jesus in the new testament (after the resurection).

In the Koran Mohammed ascended to heaven at the site of the mosque in Mecca.

Sometimes I ease drop in the books of Enoch, good stuff.

Reason for ascension is the 100% level of "in touchness" with the Universe, complete understanding.

Rise above!

I must agree, and when blazed I ponder certain things, among my favs, the Bible and Christanity....a few other thoughts I have pondered....

1. After the great flood, did Noah and his kin commit incest to re-populate the world, much as Adam and Eve perhaps did with their offspring.

2. Dinosaurs

3. Abraham's wife(Sarah) was barren, therefore he went among the slaves and concieved a child...was this not adultry?

4. Some of the recent discoveries of early man makes you wonder about Adam and Eve and the garden of Eden.

5. Mary and Joseph were married, yet they did not consumate the marraige on their wedding nite?

Again, this is thinking on the lines of mortal man....

Heh heh heh

I'd be interested to hear some thoughts on the answers to these questions especially 1 & 3. I am pretty sure that the dinasaur bones were put here by Satan in an attempt to lead us astray. I'll have another one for you to mull over later, I have to go look it up...

Wait a minute - Wodin and Havoc get and "OUTSTANDING" for Enoch and I get a "Yup" for Elijah?.... I even told ya how the fucker made the transition.

That hurts.

*sniff*



As for the answer to question number 3, the answer is NO. It was perfectly accetable for a man to keep "concubines" in addition to his wife. Sarah was barren and could not produce an heir so Abraham didn't really "go amongst the slaves", he chose Haagar to be his concubine.

Concubines were sort of like lower class wives. If the offspring that the wife produced was not able to succeed the father, as was the case w/Sarah and Abraham as she was barren, then any offspring the concubine produced (in this case Haagar bore I believe it was Ishmael) would be the rightful heir. You all can imagine how pissed off Haagar was when Sarah DID finally concieve and bear a son and vice versa how much Sarah was in a hurry to get rid of Haagar and her son! Haagar and her son were then entitle to NADA and Sarah made damned sure that HER SON was THE ONLY one around. I believe that she somehow got rid of them by sending them packing or something like that.

This is where the muslim religion splinters from Judaism.
