the only person God took in heaven without dieing there on earth ?

Answer 1

I'm the only Christian on Earth everyone else is a hypocrite so I'm afraid I'll be going to Heaven and all of you will burn in Hell.

Answer 2

John 3:13 :

" And no man has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of man who is in heaven. "

Answer 3

Jn.3:13 = "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven."
Acts 2:34 = "For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,"

Now about Elijah and Enoch:
Was Elijah taken up in a whirlwind? 2Kings 2:11. Wind would only lift him into the atmosphere, or the first heaven. Did his disciples think he had been taken up to heaven of God, or did they want to go look for him thinking he may have sit down nearby? 2Kings 2:16. Several years after Elijah's miraculous removal, did he write the letter to King Jehoram of Judah, thus showing he was still living somewhere on earth? 2Chron.21:1.,5,6,12. (2Kings 3:1 Elijah had been taken up by the whirlwind before King Jehoram ascended to the throne in 18th year of King Jehosophat's 25 year reign.
Future event: Enoch was "translated" that he should not see death. Enoch walked in God's way, making him worthy to escape the future second death, which will destroy the wicked. Rev.20:6 speaks of "second death" for the wicked (Rev.20:14-15; 4-6,14).
**************************************
Now to the thief at the cross.

Q. Jesus promised one of the thieves crucified with him: "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43). What and where is "Paradise," and did the thief go there with Jesus that day?
A. The Bible says that the dead are in the grave, awaiting the resurrection; they are not in heaven.
Acts 2:34 = "For David did not ascend into the heavens."
Jn.3:13 = "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven."
Does this mean that the thief is in a special; place called "Paradise" that is not "heaven"? No! The Bible shows us where Paradise is located; see 2Cor.12:1-4. Paradise is located in the presence of God's throne--in heaven. Paradise means a "garden, pleasure ground: grove, park"---a grand enclosure or preserve...shady and well watered...enclosed by walls" (Thayer's Greek English Lexicon of the New Testament).
What is Paradise like? See Revelation 2:7; 22:1-2.
These verses relate to Rev.21:2 "the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from heaven from God".
When does this happen? See 2Peter 3:10-13 and Rev.21:1.

Now back to your question: did the thief go there with Jesus that day of his death?
Note: Jesus didn't go to Paradise, or heaven that day he died; see 1Cor.15:3-4. Christ was sealed in the tomb for three full days and three full nights according to Matt.12:40. Notice what he says to Mary after he was risen: "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father...and your Father, and to My God and your God" according to John 20:17.

What did Christ say to the thief?
Many readers are misled by improper punctuation of the English-language translation of the inspired Greek text by wrongly placing a comma between the words "you" and "today." The Greek manuscripts didn't have punctuation of any kind til the 9th Century. So if you punctuate the verse in Luke 23:43 correctly; it should read: Assuredly, I say to you today, you will be with me in Paradise. Jesus was saying that when Paradise comes; the thief will be there with Him!

Answer 4

The book of Enoch states not that Enoch died, but that God "took him." There are other examples. I'm sure Enoch is not the answer you are looking for, but it's the first to come to mind.

Answer 5

Biblically, Elijah and Enoch

Answer 6

Elijah, right?
