To: A'elian' nation

“Isaiah 14:13 is good enough for me.

You said in your heart, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.

The ascension of Isaiah.”

You do understand that Isaiah was referring to Satan, don’t you? That was a condemnation of Satan’s desire to raise himself (key point) above God. And we don’t ever - ever - become angels. These are important and often misunderstood realities.

Doesn’t explain Enoch and Elijah. Doesn’t explain the transfiguration of Moses.

The problem with interpreting the Bible literally is that anyone can. Your literalism is not the same as my literalism.

You and I can argue until Judgement Day and no minds will be changed. That’s why there are hundreds of denominations.
