That's a good question. It would have made sense to people back then for him to "rise" up to heaven, because they actually thought that heaven was up in the sky.
Now we know that its pretty much infinite outer space up there. Today Christians say that Heaven isn't up in the sky, its in another dimension or something like that. So, why WAS Jesus rising up when he supposedly ascended to Heaven? Was he just doing what they all thought he should be doing, so as not to confuse them?
Of course, maybe he wasn't rising up because he meant to. It could have been an alien abduction, and they were just sucking him up with a tractor beam or something. Maybe his followers just left out the fact that Jesus was yelling, "Help! Help! Something is pulling me up into the sky!" simply because they thought that it detracted from the overall story.
...oh wait, I decided I want to go with what "Prophet John" said instead, since he obviously knows what he is talking about. (Will someone please go find this guy's medication?!)

"it rather is at maximum achievable that whether it rather is purely Jesus spirit that has ascended to heaven, yet not the actual physique. " right this is the subject. If it became into purely his spirit that became into raised then it may not be pronounced as a resurrection. Resurrections the two comprise physique and spirit. the tale of Lazarus is yet another occasion of resurrection. so some distance as his physique ascending? In Christianity, we believe that Jesus is God. who's additionally the writer. because God created the regulations of the actual universe, he can surely droop them. Levitating a actual physique could be not something to him. "the shortcoming of eye witnesses make the narrated account very questionable." His disciples weren't the only ones there. there have been approximately 4 hundred eyewitnesses. alongside with non believers.

Heaven isn't "in the sky" just as Hell isn't "down below our feet." Heaven is on a different plane of existance. If his physical body did lift up in the air, I would imagine that his body "phased out" of this realm and into the spiritual one. With God being His Dad and all, that shouldn't be too hard. ;-)

when he was born to Mary, he had a physical body... after he was crucified and resurrected, he had what the bible calls a 'glorified body' or one that has been changed to last for eternity... when he ascended he went to heaven to God the Father... he will come back to earth again the same way he ascended... on a cloud...

He can travel at most a few hundreds km, then without the protection of atmosphere, he will be bombarded by radioactives and ions winds from the sun, he will then melt and die.......

Maybe he entered a wormhole outside the atmosphere and it took him to an parallel universe of heaven. ???? Good question.

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ASCENDED TO CELESTIAL HEAVEN. In there is THE CITY OF GOD, THE HOLY CITY JERUSALEM (Rev 21:10-21) and surrounded by the countless puregold planets in an infinite space without end. In the City of GOD made of precious stones ( on one hand, imagine the City of New York) on top of MT ZION is the ivory palace of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST who is THE LORD AND GOD OVER THIS UNIVERSE AND ITS INFINITE SIZE CALLED OMEGA-THE UNENDING WORLD. And all of these were already written in the BOOK OF THE ALFA AND THE OMEGA-the unending world before time began. These are revealed to the Prophets who are given by THE LORD GOD the revelations of the future which is the directions of all our lives. However, the present Prophets like the Prophets of old, the majority peoples do not believe them.But our lives are not our choice and it is called destiny to an unending future in the Kingdom of GOD. It is so because mankind are destined to become gods or like-GOD in the omega-the unending world prepared by THE LORD GOD for us. But the devil and his demons who will incarnate as human beings like fake-Christ, false Prophet or the demons as druglords, warlords, gambling lords, wealth lords, etc are destined for perdition. In Revelations 21:6 THE LORD GOD said It is done! I AM THE ALFA AND THE OMEGA. This means that the STORYBOOK OF OUR BEGINNING UP TO THE UNENDING WORLD OF OMEGA-from eternity to eternity have been written. This is in the power of THE LORD GOD which we understand only through our faith in GOD. Thus, by this written will of THE LORD GOD everthing is bounded by the WILL OF GOD. For your sake, I wll show you the essence of the messages of the OLD TESTAMENT and present Prophets who were present when the HOUSE OF THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WAS BEING BUILT IN CELESTIAL HEAVEN (Zech 8:9). The Prophets messages have three corners of space-real spaces. The first space of history that they talk and prophesied about is our universe. Everyone understand the message of the prophets on this space as this is based on our simple logic of one plus one equals two. The second space of history is the future earth under THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN where the planets ground are called the garden of eden. This future earth, based from the Alfa and the Omega exists, and the logic here is not a simple logic, as this world is a semi-perfect world where its inhabitants are men born in the spirit called angel-like. Thus, as we do not understand this world yet, the logic here is faith in GOD whose all power and might belong to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST who is the GOOD SHEPHERD who leads you into green pasture. The 3rd space history is the coming KINGDOM OF GOD after 15 billion years of the Kingdom of Heaven; in here the angel-like men will be born of GOD and will become gods or LIKE-GOD. This space or kingdom is perfect in contrast to the earth's space which is imperfect. The Kingdom of heaven which is a celestial heaven is a higher dimension such that the LORD JESUS CHRIST said I AM from above and you are from below -referring to our physical universe. When the Prophets talk about this celestial heaven, our current simple logic can not understand the Prophet's message as the logic here is faith in GOD. THANKS GOD; FEAR GOD; PRAISE GOD; GLORIFY GOD; HONOR GOD; LOVE GOD AND WORSHIP GOD. Pls refer to my website-http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thegoodnew...
