Please answer the question
"Why did Paul say his desire was to depart and be with the Lord if his choice was to continue his mission on earth or lie unconscious rotting in the ground
The point is that your claiming Elijah wrote the letter after he was taken up from a foreign land.
In fact he wrote it before he was taken up. Where does it say he wrote from a foreign land...
You only used half the verse to make the claim it showed the vision wasnt real.
Jesus told them to...
Jehoram became king in 2 Kings Chapter 1, Elijah was not taken up till chapter 2
As for Mathew 17 Jesus told them not to tell the vision till after he rose from the dead. You cut off half the verse to pervert what Jesus said to support a false teaching
And you still havent explained why...
There was no comma in the original
Paradise and Heaven refer to two different locations . Papius wrote that Apostles taught "the garden of Eden was translated into Heaven which is were belevers go to await the resurection"
Please tell me where does scripture verify Elijah wrote this letter...
So when Jesus told the thief on the cross today you will be with me in Paradise he meant unconscious rotting in the grave.
And when Elijah was taken up into Heaven in a chariot, the chariot drop him off dead in a grave
And when Paul said it was better for him to depart and be with the Lord...
You threw away the truth to make God what you want him to be.
Your whole argument was the word torment meant death which the verses I quoted clearly state it doesnt mean death it means conscious torment

It means torment or torture not death
Rev 9:5,6 directly says so.
And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months
. There torment was like the torment of a scorpion when its strikes a man.
In those days men will seek death...
A quote from a "lesser" intelligence
"There is a harmony in the cosmos which I ,with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, yet there are people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is they quote me to support their views."

Either Jesus rose from the dead or he did not.
If he did not Christianity is 100% false
If he did and you do not receive him as you Lord and Savior your
going to hell forever
