18 َو ُتْنُك ْمِهْيَلَع اًدْيِهَش اَّم ُتْمُد ْمِهْيِف١ۚ اَّمَلَف ْيِنَتْيَّفَوَت َتْنُك َتْنَا َبْيِقَّرلا ْمِهْيَلَع١ؕ َو َتْنَا ىٰلَع ِّلُك 16 ٍءْيَش ٌدْيِهَش And I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them, but since You caused me to die, You have been the Watcher over them; and You are Witness over all things. God quotes Jesus as saying that Christians became corrupt after his death, and that while he had lived among them, they and their beliefs had remained uncorrupted.

Those who claim to be more eloquent than God could say that the words ‘exalt you to Myself ’ should have preceded the words ‘cause you to die’. We, however, know God to be most eloquent and beyond error. How can we, being mere creatures, find faults in God’s Word, and, being ignorant, try to put words in the mouth of the All-Knowing? These people tell us to accept that there is an error in the Word of God, but how can we do so when we see nothing but ruin in such a belief ? How can we, while we have eyes, fall into
