Besides the share volume of Scripture which stands against you - there is a divine decree which is irrevocable.
It's an invitation to stop calling up down and black white, friend. It's clearly written the man didn't "see death". Jesus said some would not "taste death".
Yes, 365 days in his mortal body, the end of which was not by death, but by translation into his eternal body - the one with which he "appeared in glory" to Jesus.
When Scripture says the man never saw death, and you insist the man died, that's all one needs to conclude who agrees with lies and who agrees with Scripture.
You have too many Scriptures that stand in your way...deal with them first and then you will be able to understand why the record states he never saw death...i.e. like others of his time!
It's called a divine exception. For instance, the Bible plainly says one man can't suffer the penalty of sin for another, but the man Jesus did just that, right? EXCEPTION.
No exception to Romans 6:23 phoneman - none whatsoever.
"Those" referring to the ones who pertain to the rule, not the exception like Moses, Elijah, Enoch, etc.
What you need to learn is that Enoch, Moses, Elijah, the "many" of the bodies of the saints which slept, etc., are the exceptions to the rule.
What stands in your way is solid Blblical exegesis. You keep preaching that Gospel of Inconsistency which says God is perfectly happy with resurrecting people before Christ the Firstfruits of the Resurrection was raised, but He's staunchly opposed to GLORIFYING someone before Christ was glorified "with the glory I had before the world was", right?
OK, it seems your stubborn resistance to the truth has run its course on this topic, so I think it's best we agree to disagree. I know for a fact the Bible says Enoch did not "taste death", God took Elijah to heaven where no mortal body can withstand the unbridled glory of God, and Moses was resurrected and "appeared in glory" to Jesus centuries afterward. Three witnesses in the mouth of Scripture is plenty to prove to anyone willing to believe the Scriptures as they're written. Shalom!
You have provided no evidence on one hand and failed to explain those applicable verses which tell you otherwise. Scripture is clear he died its just the manner in which Enoch died which you are unwilling to accept. Peace also!
God makes no exceptions when dealing with Romans 6:23
Correct. No one has been glorified to date, except Christ. Remember, First-fruits!...not second, third or fourth - first!
