Translated Not to See Death? Ever?

<< < (3/3)

jenny06:
It does, at first glance, seem a contradiction...If Enoch had not seen death, then why is it followed with, "These all died in faith"?  Could "death" be translated as something other than death as we think of it?  Could it be a reference to the second death? 

Heb 11:5-6...for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.  But without faith it is impossible to please him:

Ironic that just a few days ago I was struggling with Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.  Maybe I was just too tired at the time I read it.  In retrospect, maybe I was concentrating too hard on the minutest detail.  These men (an Sarah) had done all by faith.  What a fabulous example we have in them...living by faith and pleasing God and our reward will be great.
