Bible Question: What happened when Jesus assended into heaven? Did he reach the upper atmosphere? Did he continue into outer space? How far did he travel in our universe before he moved into the heavenly universe? How would that appear if I had observed it? |
Bible Answer: Thanks for the answer Note: You stated: I don't think I need to replicate my birth to scientifically prove it took place. There is overwhelming evidence that it did. For instance first hand accounts of living people (my parents, medical staff etc), The Bible gives the same evidence (first hand accounts)that you conclude about your own life, Just about every letter Paul wrote gives writen evidence not only to that, But He records there were over 500 Witnesses and that most were still alive as He wrote His letter to the Corinthians .1 Cor 15:4-8 These are living People in His day. .4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born. Want an account from a Doctor, Well will Dr Luke suffice. Luke 24:50-52 (KJV) Yes Luke was a Doctor 50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: So there is as much evidence as needed by your own words, but we have even more. We have a prediction of this event over a thousand yrs before it takes place, Psalms 68:18 18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. I gather you dont have have this kind of prophesy about you. Matter of factly speaking there is more evidence that Jesus ascended than the Fact that you live. When you are dead what will they use to prove you lived. No Historical Records but Birth and dead. Humm Suspisous to me. I know Jesus ascended, but I am not sure you live, in Fact I would like to extend His hand too you. He is willing to save you too. You know the prayer, its up to you to stop refuting what you can't. Here are some other ascension scriptures. John 3:13 (KJV) 13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Acts 1:9-11 (KJV) 9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Eph 4:8-10 (KJV) 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) Heb 4:14-16 (KJV) 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. 1 Tim 3:16 (KJV) 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. I will pray that you too can know the truth from God not just from us, but that through Him you may be Saved. Love in Christ Jesus RC testable and measurable evidence such as my DNA fingerprint which proves I am a decendant of both of my parents and also the total absence of any evidence to support an alternative theory of how i came to be on this planet. If I try apply these methods of testing to my original question "How did Jesus ascend into heaven" i find that i cannot. I therefore conclude that Jesus did not ascend into heaven. It's just a made up story. There are several accounts not written By Christians in The times of Christ such as Josephus. Which also gave written accounts of Jesus. You lack credable Study is all. Again all History will have after your Dead is a paper trail. Jesus's paper trail involves all of History. Well there is your answer We have enough proof, atleast the same proof that you call evidence. Eye witnesses, Doctors , parent. Love in Christ Jesus |
