There were humans in the Bible, that lived sinless lives, and were taken to Heaven without dying first.

Oh?

Who?

Elijah and Enoch. Although I cannot find where it is mentioned that they live sinless lives, it is easily inferred by their ascension into Heaven with dying first. They did not have to pay for their sins by dying, because they did not sin. That is an easy assumption. If they would have been allowed to live out their lives, then die a ripe old age, they would have been punished for something they did not do. On the other hand, some say that Elijah and Enoch will return to Earth, to prophesy in the "end times", then finally die. That would be another way that they did not escape death, just delayed it because they were needed for this future event.

I am only discussing, and I really don't know why people have to be so ingrained in orthodoxy, and not think with their own brains. I do no more by positing that these two lived sinless, than state an opinion. An opinion that is just as valid as some, and is not blasphemy. If you can point to a chapter or verses that shows that these two were indeed sinful in nature, please cite them.
