jesus is GOD.he did say that he is equal to GOD.
by saying that i and my father are one and the same.
this is your one and only chance to be saved.
it really has to do with the fall in the garden of eden...
read scripture and ask for his wisdom in his name.
this is our LORD'S ULTIMATE PLAN FOR ALL OF HUMANITY

If the Word became flesh, and Enoch and Elijah are still in the flesh, they cannot have reached the heights of Jesus, the Son of Man, the Logos, who even as he was speaking with Nicodemus was still in heaven. Presumably they are either here or there, but not both. It has to have something to do with degrees.

I don't think anything in the canon is spurious. I think that Enoch and Elijah, since they are supposed to return in the flesh have not ascended to the height of Jesus anyway, Surely Jesus could not have forgotten about Enoch or Elijah. The History of Joseph the Carpenter says that Enoch & Elijah must return in the flesh and die, and the Decensus has Enoch and Elijah still in the flesh.

Strange that you quote this verse. Are you sure this verse is not spurious?
"And no man hath ascended up to heaven.......not even Enoch????
-
So we see that the Jesus that Nicodemus was speaking with was both what Nicodemus COULD SEE and the Jesus that Nicodemus COULD NOT SEE. He was letting Nicodemus (and us) know that there was this whole other aspect of himself that was IN HEAVEN even as he spoke to him. He WAS God in human form, but still GOD IN HEAVEN. That aspect of Himself is what he is referring to.

In John we read,
In the beginning was the LOGOS,
And the LOGOS was WITH God,
And the LOGOS WAS God.
And a little later we read:
And the LOGOS BECAME FLESH.
Now we understand the first of all, the Logos, or Word can both BE God and be WITH God at the same time, then God can be "Beside Himself," so to speak. In John 3:13 we also read: "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man WHICH IS IN HEAVEN."
It makes sense that James = The OT, and John = the Apocrypha because John writes a lot about the Spirit of God such as regeneration with its affect on the believer, the dove, and Jesus introducing the Holy Spirit as the Comforter, and James writes a lot about the role of works in a believer's life, and gives a lot of practical doctrines similar to doctrines in the Old Testament.

@natkra90 It's supposed to make sense on all levels.

7:04; 'John 20:20-22'
Sorry, I misspoke. The verse is actually John 21:20-22.
I'll make the correction via annotation.
Thanks for letting me know!
