Since we only have one way to have a discussion I can only tell you what it mean to be a Christian. The Lord Jesus Christ had to leave heaven's glory and come to earth as a man so He could die for our sins. When He was buried He took our sins away and He rose again the third day for our justification. Believe and trust in that and you to can go into God's heaven when you die. 1 Corinthians 15: 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15: 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 4: 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

The first thing you need to know is that Jesus ascended into the clouds like a gentle balloon.
This is fundamental.
He had an earthly body, yet was able to ascend. He ascended slowly until he was out of sight. From there it is not certain how fast he traveled, or in which direction he traveled.
Perhaps we got going really fast. When he got to Heaven we do not know what he did with the earthly body. Perhaps he kept it along with the clothing as a souvenir.
The second thing you need to know is that he will descend in like manner. Will it be the exact same body, we don't know. This much we know, he will descend calmly and with precision; perhaps touching down at the same spot, or nearby, where he took off.
That about does it for this session. If my words have already converted you, yippee. If not I will pray for your sorry soul, and hope you get more info.
Good luck and let us know how it goes. Just remember one thing: if you do not believe in Jesus, Jesus is not amused. You will suffer the eternal torment of Hell.

no, but i'm close enough. well my religion? (Lutheran) When Adam & Eve first sinned, God promised to send a Savior to save them (when they die to give them heaven) so He chose Mary (a virgin) to be Jesus earthly mother. Mary conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Joseph thought she was cheating on him, but an angel came to Joseph & told him the truth. Then Jesus was born (Christmas), and lived a perfect life without sin. Then, when the time came, He knew what had to be done (dying to save believers), so He let the guards arrest Him & crucify Him. He could've easliy escaped by just His words, but He chose not to. So He would pay sinners' punishment. Then, when He was dead, He went to hell to proclaim victory over the devil. (not because of anything else). Then 3 days later, He rose from the dead (Easter). Then, people didn't half to sacrifice animals. Since Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice. So, before Jesus went to Heaven to live, He left His people a promise: that He would one day come back to take believers to haven. And we need to prepare ourselves by telling others until that day. We don't know when it will be, but the whole world will know. Even the unbelievers will know who Jesus is on that day. There will be a trumpet sounding. And Jesus will take ALL believers to heaven with Him, and everyone else will go to hell, in the eternal flame. So, now, we need to tell others about Him so they can go to heaven. That is also the meaning of life. To tell others about Jesus so they can live in heaven. So here I am telling you. Even though I am not a pastor, I know what I am speaking of. I hope to see you in heaven too. Believe, because you have nothing to loose. Just a free eternal life in heaven. :):):):):)

i'm just a CHRISTIAN bible student fairly educated in GOD'S WORD. i do not know how much you can possibly learn about a huge book such as the bible in this forum. if you are serious, go to website:
