Heaven...

On the sci channel I watched a show that speculated the existance of many universes on different planes like pages in a book one right next to another seperated by almost nothing. Who knows? It doesn't really matter to me yet.

People can't do it so it must not be possible. People can't see it so it must not exist.

I don't think the Bible says he physically rose up towards the sky, does it? In fact, no one witnesses the resurrection; they just find the empty tomb, and later Christ pops back in to explain what happened, kind of like the end of an episode of "Murder, She Wrote." I assumed the whole rising toward the sky thing was a trope of Western art and was merely symbolic. That was after he resurrected, and then left...

I think that Heaven is a physical location.

He went rimward. To this day, he rides through space on the back of Great A'Tuin.

Anywhere/Everywhere/Nowhere. All (things) are possible if you accept Him, right? (Which is basically what you do if you accept the resurrection as something that really happened.) So it's not really an important question at that point.

If you don't accept that, then it's really quite simple too. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

So where did the body go then I wonder? He was physically resurrected and became immortal. He must still be physically out there somewhere, within the confines of our universe. Well, you have to remember that Jesus's body was simply a way for God to become incarnate. So think of it like a costume. It's in heaven, in his closet, next to the Athena suit he wore during the Trojan War.

When he returned you could still see the nail marks in his palm and the hole in his side from the spear they passed through him.

The neat thing is that the incarnation is permanent. Christ has that body until the end of time, and we will have a resurrection body too.

I highly doubt that matter or energy could pass between universes. There's no evidence to support such a hypothesis. Whereas five loaves and two fishes feeding thousands of people is well (with twelve baskets left over afterward) within the realm of scientific possibility?

He didn't really rise from the dead. It's just a rehashing of a much older myth.

It wasn't given to him by god, he is god.

Well, according to string theory, I believe Jesus went to Heaven, which is in another dimension. Thus he did not physically go upwards or downwards. He physically went to a parallel universe, probably didn't have to walk even a mile. I think this might be a dimension that is actually the 12th dimension, whereas string theory suggests 11. But this is the 12th dimension, the kingdom of God. So he didn't go up or down, scientifically, he just entered another dimension.

Are you trying to say Jesus was PC? Blasphemy! You will die of thousands of illnesses in your butt!
