Contradiction with Hebrews 11:5

Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death, which contradicts the view of Jesus as singular "Prince of life" who conquered death.

Hebrews 11:5: By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction or inconsistency could be in the idea of giving and taking life. The verse refers to killing the "Author of life," which might seem contradictory because it implies humans took action against a divine source of life. This can be seen as conflicting with moral teachings about the sanctity and protection of life.
