Very true.
As for those who were bodily assumed to heaven (which is in the Bible, such as Enoch), I don’t know exactly what type of body they have at the moment. I can wait to find out.
And you mentioned you had an electron micro scope. Would love to borrow it for the weekend.
But you are correct in wondering. I don't know about this creedal declaration; I accept it at face value.
Let's see: Elijah in:
2 Kings: 6 Elijah said to Elisha, "Please stay here; the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan." "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live," Elisha replied, "I will not leave you." And so the two went on together. 7 Fifty of the guild prophets followed, and when the two stopped at the Jordan, stood facing them at a distance. 8 Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up and struck the water, which divided, and both crossed over on dry ground. 9 2 When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask for whatever I may do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha answered, "May I receive a double portion of your spirit." 10 "You have asked something that is not easy," he replied. "Still, if you see me taken up from you, your wish will be granted; otherwise not." 11 As they walked on conversing, a flaming chariot and flaming horses came between them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
This is interpreted as OT bodily assumption.
Genesis 5: 22 Enoch lived three hundred years after the birth of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. 23 The whole lifetime of Enoch was three hundred and sixty-five years. 24 2 Then Enoch walked with God, and he was no longer here, for God took him.
Ditto.
As for Mary, East and West differ somewhat, but the whole question remains: what do the Creeds mean when it comes to either these two or three individuals? I can also wait to find out.
As for the electron scanning microscope, I am currently researching the body of Scriptural proofs of Calvinist beliefs. It is pushing the limits of the microscope's resolution to actually observe anything at all.
Scripture?
