Did Elijah ascend into Heaven before Jesus?

Jesus said in John 3:13 "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven."

But we know in the Old Testament the Bible says Elijah was taken up by God into Heaven. So, is this a contradiction? Is Jesus lying? I'm certainly not prepared to say that. So lets take a look at Elijah's story, and what Jesus is really saying.

"And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven." - 2 King 2:11

It's always important to read the context of the story, and the language it was written in. The Hebrew word "Shamayim" simply means: air, astrologer, heaven(-s). However, the Heaven Jesus was referring to was the dwelling place of God; the third Heaven.

The Bible speaks clearly that there are three Heavens. The sky, space and the place where God is. The truth is, no man has ever went to the place where God is, other than Jesus Christ Himself.

So Jesus didn't lie and this is not a contradiction. Jesus was telling the truth.

  1. Creativity is a Religious Creed
    • Dedicated to the Survival, Expansion and Advancement of the White Race.
    • Based on the Laws of Nature, on the Experience of History, on Logic and Common Sense.
    • Our Four Dimensional Program: A Sound Mind in a Sound Body in a Sound Society in a Sound Environment.
    • Our Goal: Building a Whiter and Brighter World.

    Summary
    After six thousand years of recorded history, our people finally have a religion of, for, and by them. CREATIVITY is that religion. It is established for the Survival, Expansion, and Advancement of our White Race exclusively. Indeed, we believe that what is good for the White Race is the highest virtue, and what is bad for the White Race is the ultimate sin.

    We have come to hold these views by observing the Eternal Laws of Nature, by studying History, and by using the Logic and Common Sense everyone is born with: the highest Law of Nature is the survival of one's own kind; history has shown us that the White Race is responsible for all that which we call progress on this earth; and that it is therefore logical and sensible to place supreme importance upon Race and to reject all ideas which fail to do so.

    Our people have faced threats throughout history, but never before have our people faced as grave a threat as it is facing today. Today, our people's very continued biological existence on this planet is in doubt. In 1920, for example, one out of every three people on this planet were White. Today, only one out of twelve are White. If present trends continue, one can only imagine what the complexion of the world will be like in another one hundred years.

    How did this calamity come about? It came about because of our people's skewed thinking. Our people have thus far been concerned with every issue besides the issue of their own survival. We have subsidized those not of our own kind at our expense, causing their numbers to soar, while at the same time, White people have scaled back the size of their families, either out of selfishness or because of low-paying salaries and exorbitant taxes. We have divided ourselves into all kinds of organizations and causes, none of whom address the most basic issue: Will White children have a future? With CREATIVITY, this is the issue, and all other issues revolve around it.

    Our people everywhere are beginning to embrace the dynamic and inspiring creed and program of CREATIVITY. White people everywhere are beginning to put aside their past differences and divisions and are coming together as one people for their best interests. More and more of our people are beginning to realize that if White people do not look out for their own future, no other people will. As a result, our churches are sprouting up all over the world, our ministers preaching the word of White unity and our members zealously spreading the word to you, our fellow White people. We hope that after reading this pamphlet, you will decide to obtain more information, will consequently decide to become a member of our church, The Church of Creativity, and will decide to join us in this historic struggle.
