Indications that Enoch and Elijah have never gone to Abraham's bosom?

score:5

Because John 3:13 says, "And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven" (Douay) I am inclined to believe that they went to Abraham's bosom. That is the easiest interpretation of that verse without going through some severe theological hoops.

Additionally, and this is admittedly out of the scope of the question directly, but there is general theological consensus that the death of Christ "opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers." And while this is in the Te Deum, you can also find similar notions in Luther and Matthew Henry's Commentary.
