The ascension

Yes Heaven would be up in another realm.

@mike69
You see, the point here is the question of whether his body went up into the sky, heaven is up in the sky is all an allegory rather than literally true.

I didn't ask about whether it is a "another realm". I asked if your belief is that "heaven" is up in the sky?

@mike69 said
I don’t care where Heaven is in this aspect, just the strength/grace of God and his love for us.

@fmf said
So you are comfortable with the story of his body ascending up into the sky simply being allegorical or metaphorical?

@mike69 said
No

One minute you say you don't care, the next you say you are not comfortable with it. One post and then the next post.

Show me where I said that.

You see, for me the point is, if the story of Jesus's sacrifice is allegorical, then it has resonance and philosophical relevance, albeit still debatable and questionable: but, if it must be accepted as literally true, then ho hum. People cannot simply decide to believe supernatural things that they do not find credible.

I said I believed in the resurrection and didn’t care/focus where this realm was. You’re personal insights on the subject also don’t concern me.
