RE: Jesus: The Only Way to God?

in #religion8 years ago

I believe Hell is when you turn your back on God. His hand is always reaching out to you, he would never turn his back on his children. But sometimes, we aren't ready to accept him, and that's what this post was about. We can always turn to Jesus when we are ready, even those in hell.

I believe God the Father is a God with an actual body, and Jesus is his actual son. We are all the Father's spirit children. Jesus died, and his spirit left his body for 3 days. Then he was resurrected to an immortal body, one that is perfect and transcendent. Because of Jesus's sacrifice, we will all also be resurrected to immortal bodies.

Enoch was a great prophet. He inspired his people so that his whole city, called Zion, was perfectly righteous. The whole city got translated to Heaven. How that happened exactly, I have no idea.

Moses chapter 7 speaks of Enoch in more detail:
17 The fear of the Lord was upon all nations, so great was the glory of the Lord, which was upon his people. And the Lord blessed the land, and they were blessed upon the mountains, and upon the high places, and did flourish.

18 And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them.

19 And Enoch continued his preaching in righteousness unto the people of God. And it came to pass in his days, that he built a city that was called the City of Holiness, even Zion.

21 And it came to pass that the Lord showed unto Enoch all the inhabitants of the earth; and he beheld, and lo, Zion, in process of time, was taken up into heaven. And the Lord said unto Enoch: Behold mine abode forever.
I hope this helps!

I was thinking that i will get some answer like a opinion from you but you sound like a Jehova witness now. Zion is mentioned in Mormon Scripture . For me only works original scripture .The Book of Enoch.

I am not Jehovah's Witness.

I am not familiar with the Book of Enoch. Where is it located?

What more opinion were you looking for? I believe all of Enoch's city ascended to heaven because everyone was righteous. I don't know how the miracle happened.

@iggy what book of Enoch are you proclaiming to be the source of all truth for you personally?
There are 30 different "books" all claiming to be the original and true book of Enoch. None of them are accepted as canon by any religion that I am aware of.
I think she was just searching out what she understood to be the book of Enoch you were claiming.
Then you attack her?
Stop trolling. Make a point and be clear about where you are sourcing your personal truths from so that others can defend or rebuttal or otherwise contribute. Otherwise this just breaks down to name calling.

@iggy I recommend reading the Book of Moses, found in the Pearl of Great Price. Yes, it is cannon for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It has a lot of information about Enoch.

Chapter 7 is about Enoch.

If English is not your first language, this is available in dozens of others, just click on the globe icon on the top.

I'm curious to read the Book of Enoch you linked. Thanks for sharing!

I'm not trolling , i'm not attackin her . I'm sorry if you think that i am . Source is Ethiophian Book of Enoch . This one : http://www.forbiddengate.com/BookOfEnoch.pdf . If you have some better suggestion i will be more than happy to read it.
And yes i know that these books are not in canon .
