So, you are saying “Enoch” was “Christlike”, then may I ask, “Who was “Enoch” Living example, who did He Follow?
American Standard Version
he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
According to The Holy Scriptures, Jesus The Anointed of GOD did not begin setting an example or pattern to follow or be like Him until around “AD 30-35”.
Now The New Covenant, has Proclaim, There is only One Way to GOD the Father and That way is Through Christ. And since The Anointed of GOD Was born In a Little town called Bethlehem of Judea and his mother was called Mary. and He would be called Emmanuel.
So how could, “Enoch “ be a Christian, if he didn’t have a “Christ” to follow?
Unless you have your own version and your own version of What a “Christian” is, by choice or some kind of Special divine revelation that Enoch was “ChristLike” before “Jesus The Anointed of GOD” was even born. Or the Prophesies that He would “The GOD Man” would appear and walk among His own creation.
did not The Scripture proclaim by The very Mouth of “THE Christ of GOD”. That GOD is A Spirit and They that worship Him must Worship Him in Spirit and Truth. And Is Not “The Christ of GOD” Te Second “Adam” who is A Life Giving Spirit? the 1st Adam was A Life giving Flesh. Who was “Enoch” Paternal grandfather? Was not Enoch born of The Flesh and not “Born of GOD”?
Not taken away from the Text which says; “and Enoch walked with GOD” and The Bible also said: “A Donkey Talked and saw an Angel with a Sword in His Hand”
In others words, GOD can do anything He want to do, but lie and deny that He exists.
So in saying all of That, how say you That; “Enoch was a Christian”. So I can be Edified.
PS. GOD loved Enoch . GOD also Loved The Whole World That He Gave HIS only SON.
Where did GOD take Him? “Enoch”
For Jesus The Christ of GOD, also made This Statement and He does Not Lie!
New King James Version
No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven,
that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.
New American Standard Bible
No one has
ascended into heaven, except He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.
Now I am curious how you will explain this one away,
Now you put a lot on The Table. And it is very hard to digest or to place in one’s mouth, let alone to chew.
So do not get mad, but Theologically explain your position and back it up! Be a Man! And please do not throw a “Theological Fix”!
Because you are getting to old. So when you get through reading this, Have a cup of Coffee or a glass of room temperature water.
