WHERE DID HE GO?




GENESIS 1
19: So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up
into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL, THAT REFERED TO THIS VERSE.

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GROWN, INTELLIGENT PEOPLE BUT, REASON IS THROWN
OUT THE WINDOW, WHEN DISCUSSING JESUS!

SOME OF US ACTUALLY BELIEVE A LIVE MAN ASCENDED INTO THE SKY AND WENT
TO A PLACE CALLED "HEAVEN"!!!

WHERE DOES THIS PLACE EXIST, WHERE A MAN MAY GO WHILE PHYSICALLY
ALIVE? CAN ONE RISE UP IN AMERICA AND CHINA, AND REACH THE SAME
DESTINATION? MAY I VISIT?

PLEASE, SOMEONE EXPLAIN!!!

Biff the unclean

Last week the news reported that they heard a loud BOINK of unknown origin on the Space Station. That's what happened to Jesus.

beanpie,

First of all, its from a belief, a faith, something that can't be completely proven or else it would instead be a fact.

You ask "where did jesus go", first jesus would have to be proven to have at least existed. No one is really going to be able to answer your question to much further than you could all by yourself reading through christian text.

beanpie -

I think you will find your basic question addressed in this thread with as much seriousness as it deserves, or more.

So off we go to ~~Elsewhere~~

PS - I advise against typing in all caps. It is considered rude - it is like shouting.

You see, there's this thing called the Mile High Club....

For obvious reasons, only the Old Testament is addressed. The
following is it'ss meaning.

shamayim
shaw-mah'-yim
dual of an unused singular shameh {shaw-meh'}; from an unused root
meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to
the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher
ether where the celestial bodies revolve):--air, X astrologer, heaven
(-s).http://www.jcsm.org/StudyCenter/kjvstrongs/STRHEB80.htm

Please, correct me if I am incorrect. I belive the NEW TESTAMENT was
written in GREEK. The following is it's meaning.

ouranoV
ouranos
oo-ran-os'
perhaps from the same as oroV - oros 3735 (through the idea of
elevation); the sky; by extension, heaven (as the abode of God); by
implication, happiness, power, eternity; specially, the Gospel
(Christianity):--air, heaven(-ly), sky.

beanpie

THE OLD TESTAMENT "NEVER" MENTIONS HEAVEN AS AN "ABODE FOR GOD".

THAT IS NOT INTODUCED 'TIL THE NEW TESTAMENT, BY THE "ROMANS".
