Ok either he's dead in heaven as you so like to point out- or he's alive and not in heaven- y'all say you go to heaven when you die so jesus can't be alive and in heaven. Make up your minds please

You got it right, darling. They have no idea and don't really want to know; they just want to blindly believe and be loved. I understand the loved part, but I can't understand wanting throw away your brains to believe.

Oh hon, no wonder youre confused! OK. First, the Bible says Jesus lived as a spirit creature in heaven. He was God's firstborn creation, His only begotten son. So he was like an angel, and he's described as being divine. But God needed a perfect man to buy back perfect life for mankind (because taht's what adam lost when he sinned) so he transferred Jesus' life into the womb of a human. So Jesus' personality and his sinlessness became a human being. He lived here on earth for just about 33 and a half years as best as anyone can tell, and then he was killed. He died as a human. For hte better part of 3 days he didnt exist. Then God resurrected him back to his spirit form. However, he stayed down here on earth for 40 days after that resurrection, showing up in human bodies that weren't quite him (no one recognized him) and then he ascended to heaven. Since then he has lived in heaven as a mighty spirit creature again. He has kicked Satan out of heaven (and down here to the earth, unfortunately for now) and is ruling as King in Heaven. Soon his power will extend to this earth as well. So while he died as a human here on earth, he was resurrected as the spirit creature he once was and now is ruling in heaven.

People have their own concept of what "life" is and it can be confusing at times until it's made clear.
My take on this is that God lives with the dead. He created life ( according to some) thus life never existed b4 he created it...but he existed as a concious form. I sum it up as he or any of us in this type of 'concious form' but not breathing on earth as dead so life is only calculated by the amoount of time spent in the physical body. Outside of it we call it death but it doesn't mean that we cease to exist.

You are wrong; he is alive in heaven. He came out of the grave and was seen alive by many, then ascended up to heaven while he was still alive. He did not die again.

Jesus isn't the only one in the bible who is considered alive and in heaven.
The prophet Elijah ascended to heaven before dying so according to the bible it IS possible.

You are very confused. No one in heaven is dead, the people in hell are (in one sense dead) but they are still living in their spiritual bodies.
People in heaven have spiritual bodies, but Jesus's physical body resurrected from the dead and he bodily ascended into heaven and is alive there.
1Co 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

You make it sound like each one of us is confused about this. Jesus is alive, and seated at the right hand of God.

Whether He is alive or dead is what you believe.
This is a subject of debate that will go on forever!

Why not sincerely ask Him yourself? Go somewhere by yourself, and ask Jesus, if He is truly alive, to reveal Himself to your heart. Do not come with pride, but rather as one who is seeking. Do you really think people on Yahoo can give you a proper answer?

If Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.
