I've been reading the Bible.
From what I know, Christians believe in a state called “hypostatic union”, where Man and God exist together- completely separate from each other.
The teaching is that Jesus who is God, became Man and lived amongst us, whilst never ceasing to be God. Verses such as John 1 and Phillipians 2 are believed to show this.
So when Jesus died, God did not die, but the "man" part died; and when Jesus rose again He went to be with the Father.
According to Christians on His return, Jesus will be worshipped as God... because all will see Him as He really is.
But did Jesus Himself actually teach this?
Most Christian Theology states that Jesus was resurrected on the third day, and was then 'caught up' and ascended to Heaven where he joined 'The Father'- as in 'joined up with', But from what I have read, there is no use of the phrase "joined the Father'' in the Bible.
What it says is that Jesus is now "seated at the right hand of the Father."
