Just over the mountains in the promised land lies a holy city built by God's own hand...

For those who believe in God, they know that He is omniscient. When Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the serpent lied to her saying you will become omniscient. Eve soon learned that the fruit she ate was mortality and she will die one day. She sealed this fate for all mortals, with the exception of Enoch and Elijah.

... and some would say also Mary, and possibly Moses.

@onewithshoes Who says? Do you have a reference? I'm actually curious.

@cinsac Many, if not most Christians, in both the Eastern and Western have believed since earliest times that our Lady was assumed bodily into Heaven, though some hold that she died, or a least fell asleep first. What became of Moses' body is a open question, though St. Jude makes a very brief mention of an argument between the Devil and St. Michael about it.
