And NO MAN [pay close attention to the phrase "no man," Tim, seeing that Enoch WAS A MAN] has ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the SON OF MAN which is in heaven" (John 3:13).

Ray, Ray Ray. Please stop and think for one moment.
No man has returned to Heaven but he that came down from Heaven, even Jesus Christ.
Those born from above (The Sons of God/Saints) are born from above (not by flesh or blood) and will return to whence they came.
Unless a person is born from above, he will not return unless grafted into the olive tree (elected). Once elected into the Olive tree, one will not die. Now just because one believes even in his name, this does not constitute the position of Elect let alone Saint, but it does entitle one to be raised after the Millinium at the Last trump.
As David said after his son died, “He can not come to us, but we must go to him�. Where was the baby? In heaven! Why? Because the baby was Born from above (The logical conclusion), being one of David’s house.
I arrest my discussion on this topic. One needs to understand what to be born from above is, what it is to be grafted (elected), and from that one can understand what Jesus meant in respect to the parallel between the Wind and the Spirit of one Born from Above.
Once again, You must be born from above to return to the above. Born from above as Jesus was and is and has return. Enoch was born from above after his flesh life was over here, he returned from whence he came.

Dear Tim:
Excuse me for getting "technical," but where do you see the word "RETURN" in John 3:13? You made that up? I see the word "ASCENDED," but I do not see the word "RETURNED." Your whole email is all made-up. You refuse to believe the word of God. This discussion is over.
God be with you,
Ray
