14. THE QUESTION WAS:

Catholics celebrate the Assumption of Mary (God assumed Mary’s body and soul into heaven) on August 15. Besides Mary, what other individuals had their whole bodies taken into heaven?

a.                  David & Goliath

b.                  Elijah & Enoch

c.                   Isaac & Ishmael

 

 

THE ANSWER IS….. C….. Elijah and Enoch. These guys were also lucky enough to have their bodies taken into heaven whole. The rest of us souls will be separated from our bodies from the moment we die until the Last Day of Earth (Judgment Day)

For more info on bodily assumptions into heaven, and why we also believe Moses’ body was also taken up in this fashion, see http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/mischedj/ct_assumption.html
