Sin: What is it?
We have seen sin is the “transgression of God’s law”, to “miss the mark”, “whatever is not of faith is sin” and “knowing to do good and not doing the good is sin”.
Jubilee Year
Amazingly to this day many people are still somewhat familiar with the year of “Jubilee”. But being “somewhat familiar” and understanding its purpose are two very different things.
Transfiguration
We have seen how Jesus gave Peter, James and John a VISION of what the future will be like for those who are glorified with God at the return of Jesus. Moses and Elijah are still dead and awaiting their resurrection along with all of God’s saints.
Elijah and the Fiery Chariot to Heaven
Since Jesus says “no man has ascended to heaven” (John 3:13) and Peter says that even King David has not gone to heaven (Acts 2:34) we need to study to see which “heaven” Elijah went to in the whirlwind on the fiery chariot.
Enoch
There are many who believe Enoch never died a human death and God carried him off to heaven before he died. The belief in “going to heaven” after one dies is an established belief in the Christian community of believers.
Hair Length
Historically, what were the hair styles in the time of Jesus and the apostles? Roman, Greek, Jewish history shows us what was common at that time- short hair on men.
