C.
I am not aware of others. Who were they?
M
. Elijah (
II Kings 2:11-12
) “... and Elijah went up by a
whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried ... And
he saw him no more.” Also God took Enoch to heaven (
Genesis
5:24
) “And Enoch walked with God, and he was not; for God
took him.” This is also repeated in
Hebrews 11:5
. “By faith Enoch
was translated that he should not see death and was not found,
because God translated him; for before his translation he had this
testimony that he pleased God.”
THE DOCTRINE OF ATONEMENT AND ORIGINAL SIN
C.
If redemption of sin through the crucifixion is not Jesus’s
teaching then whose was it?
M
.
This Doctrine of Atonement was accepted by the Church
325 years after Jesus left the earth
at the Council of Nicene.
It
contradicts the Bible itself as the following passages state in
(
Deuteronomy 24:16
) “The fathers shall not be put to death for
the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the
fathers, every man shall be put to death for his own sin.”
(
Jeremiah 31:30
): “But every one shall die for his own iniquity...”
(
Ezekiel 18:20):
“The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall
not bear the iniquity of the father; neither shall the father bear
the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be
upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.”
So Adam and Eve were responsible for their own sin. The
Qur’an says they both repented and they were both forgiven by
Allah.
