Did Moses ascend?
- Thread starter gnostic
- Start date
The bible says that The Lord buried Moses. If he had ascended, I believe it would have said so. But that is just my opinion.
He could have been, that may have been what it meant when it said that he was laid to rest by The Lord. But that is just speculation on my part.

Done here.
If you haven't seen it already, you might be interested in the Assumption of Moses.

I think this is the book alluded to in the Epistle of Jude, when it mentions Michael contending with Satan over the body of Moses.

Ok.sandy whitelinger said:
Then did Moses ascend after his death?
As I have said, he appeared with Elijah, where the 3 amigo witness Jesus speaking to these 2 past prophets. And this happened before Jesus' ended with the crucifixion and resurrection.
Was Moses long resurrected before Jesus' time?

Yes.
Yes.
I suppose. I think that time becomes relative after death in that in might not move only forward.

He was resurrected with a new body just like the rest of the saved.

Moses died and was buried in Moab by God's angels (Deut 34:6). The dead rise not again until the Last Day. Daniel 12:[13] But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days

Yet he appeared in Jesus' day with a glorified body.

So that makes Moses the firstborn of the Resurrection, rather than Christ. Maybe I should make Moses my personal Lord and Savior.

Good luck with that.

I'm glad you recognize reductio ad absurdum, or proof by contradiction.

Jude 1:9 may also be added to the discussion.

The Lost One
The problem with Jude is that it was written in different period, and by all account from a different religion to Judaism.
This is the only reference to Michael and Satan fighting over Moses' body. It is totally absence in the Hebrew scriptures, or what we called the Old Testament. So how reliable is it?

It's a logical fallacy where you show that your opponent's argument leads to some absurd conclusion.reductio ad absurdum?
Never heard of it, but I like it.
