The journey Elijah took was the path to life. The only one that followed him to Jordan and across is elisha. I mention this because you and others cannot tell me his message. He transfigured in life. His messages were on tranfiguration. Yet there are none, because the people rejected them

The reason why Jude is the only one to talk of Moses body, and to talk of Enoch as a Prophet, is because there was teachings from Elijah documented. And that is what they had. Furthermore, even the people that listened to Jesus His Pre-Eminence, did not get HIS message.
And now I will ask you. What is the Gospel that Jesus His Pre-Eminence preached?
You can't even tell us who was there when you say Elisha was the only one. Get off your high horse, there are many wonderful and greatly more knowledgeable people here than you or I.

IF you read Jude and all you got from it was Enoch a prophet and Moses body, there is 22 more verses that speak more than those two things.
Maybe those who were like Balaam used the words of Enoch to divide the Church which Jude was addressing.

I wasn't trying to be rude. It was only Elisha that followed Elijah to Jordan and across.

No it isn't all I got from it. I was noting that he is the only one who spoke of it. Yet, Jude is not a Prophet. Among all the Prophets, none of them are recording as speaking about it. So why jude? Where did Jude get that from?

Ok, but it was not only he who was there when Elijah was taken was he?

Jude was an Apostle and a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ the brother of James. An Eyewitness to the Resurrected Lord.

the only reason why Elisha was mentioned is that he was Elijah's student.
Exactly. Which means he was the only one that followed him the entire way; he was the eye witness. Everyone else did not follow him all the way. The question remains, why? If you have a Prophet in your midst, and he is getting revelations from GOD and sharing them, why would the people not follow him all the way?

Enoch transfigured in life, and was the first to do it. How would Enoch's teachings divide the church?

Sure. But he was not a Prophet.
Enoch was no major prophet, and we know he walked with God and God took him. he is not seen anymore But Elijah was and so was Moses.

And Jesus said there was no greater Prophet or will ever be than John the Baptist. Luke 7:28

So how did those who spoke to Elisha telling him Your master going up today know? They did not follow Elijah? Why were they there?

John the Baptist is an Elijah.

secondly, Enoch is a an angel of the church. Noah was also an Angel of the Church, and Abraham, Moses, Joshua, and Apostle Peter are the 6 Angels of the Churches. Enoch is greater than the Prophets not named Elijah.

5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.

They were at Jericho.

How to read Jude. You do know that Gnosticism was nothing new and the early church had to combat it and still is today. Paul did, Jude her too, and many others. Even the very words of Jesus as used to divide the church LOL. Come on man.

Are you claiming that Enoch is a gnostic?

No John The Baptist was John the Baptist the forerunner to Christ as prophesied by Isaiah. The Holy Spirit in John was of the same anointing as Elijah but John was not the person Elijah

I am saying that those of gnostic have used the Book of Enoch, out of Context to pervert and cause confusion as Jude was addressing
