Don’t the stories of Enoch and Elijah disprove that heaven was closed?

Question:

Don’t the stories of Enoch and Elijah disprove that heaven was closed?

Answer:

The Church teaches that heaven was closed until Jesus redeemed humanity. Enoch and Elijah were redeemed by Jesus but entered heaven early. They were exceptions. God can do that!
