What about Elijah and Jesus?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

maybe the only one who was specifically told by Jesus "You're going to heaven" but there are heaps of other times where it says people believed, which means they're going to heaven.

But we may never know for sure if they truly believed.

He didn't go to heaven. Jesus just said he WOULD be in paradise with him." Verily I say unto you today, you will be with me in paradise"....all depends where you put your comma :)

No, Enosh was the good one. Enoch was bad.

Yup Elijah, but that's because before Jesus died there technically was no heaven or hell. They went into, like inception, limbo. That's kinda what catholics believe.

There was heaven and hell before Christ came into the world. Before Christ, you had to believe that he was coming. After Christ, you have to believe he came.

He did come. You have to believe that He is the Son of God, and that he died for our sins on the cross
