was christian's interpretation re jesus resurrection n ascension according to Bible is wrong? please advise me..
The greatness of Jesus should not be based on His physical Ascension, because it is written in the Bible.
That several minor prophets for example Enoch (Hebrews 11:5) and Elijah were also taken bodily into heaven.
“By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see the death; and he was not found, because God had taken him” (Hebrews 11:5). >>> Jesus was not the only one that went bodily to heaven after His resurrection.
The gospel of Matthew: The Ascension is not mentioned. The story ends with the promise of Jesus: “I am with you always, to the close of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)
Peter also had that understanding. They had understood correctly when Jesus spoke of heavenly things when He said “I will rise again”. Jesus talks about “the rise of His spirit not of the body”.

Jesus ascended to heaven by his own power. No one else ever did.
Jesus rose from the dead by his own power. No one else ever did.
Jesus was conceived in the womb of the Blessed Virgin by his own power. No one else ever was.
Enough said.

You have to remember he descended before he rose and appeared to the disciples Jesus said I will return the same way I Leave. Ascending on a cloud.He was telling the disciples it was not necessary for him to return as a infant. The Appearance he had was the appearance that would return.
The book of Matthew was written to the Jewish Converts so they would see how God fulfilled his promise to Abraham. Keep reading Absent from the Body Present with the Lord. Jesus also told the Thief on the cross Today I will see you in Paradise.Because he was true man and true God he could transfer between the dimensions. Keep going the more you study the more clear things will be. Consider getting a copy of Strong's Concordance of translation from English back to Hebrew and Greek. You'll love the new vision.

As the physical body of Jesus has not been found then ti is possible that he was able to translate his physical and spiritual body to heaven.as both in a sense are made up of energy. and according to physical laws you should be able to slip the atoms of your hand say through the atoms of a stone with the proper concentration.as there is more than enough space between the atoms to do so.
Also Jesus ascended in front of a multitude of people.not just ran off and hid someplace had that chance at the tomb.
Revaluations says that the EARTH WILL BE TRANSFORMED with the second coming and the Establishment of Gods kingdom on Earth.

Those others never tasted death before God took them to heaven. They were preserved to come back to earth with their mortal body's to pass on the rights of the priesthood.
Jesus was killed and then took up his dead body and reunited it with his spirit, he is the only one who could do this. Death is the price of sin. Jesus had no reason to pay the price of sin as he was perfect. He has done that to allow all of us at the appointed time to have our body's back. They will come from ashes and dust to be reunited with our spirits, the water will also give up her dead. The body we receive will be perfect bodys not having any broken bones or other problems we now have.

I expect the interpretations vary amongst theologians. His soul does seem to be rather powerful, Words rather than genes.
