For today’s post we will tackle the question the Skeptic Annotated Bible asked: Did Enoch die?
Here are the two answers which the skeptic believes indicate a Bible contradiction:
Yes
“All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.’” (Hebrews 11:13)
No
“Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” (Genesis 5:24)
“By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; and he was not found because God took him up; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.” (Hebrews 11:5)
