The Ascension

Submitted by jroberts on Mon, 2007-05-21 06:22.

Yesterday (or last Thursday), Liturgical Churches celebrated the Ascension; i.e., the point when 40 days after the Ressurection, Jesus ascended bodily into heaven. What do y'all think are the implications for that? Do you think of Jesus as still having His ressurected body? Do you think we'll have bodies in heaven?

Dear Michael-

Thank you so much for this. I have always believed in burial of the body and not cremation (my own belief because I know that the Church allows) but this explanation relieves me greatly because my mother had recently passed and her wish was for cremation and no one has really given me an answer that I was at ease with.

I thank you so much as I was praying for forgiveness and actual sick at heart all this time. God always answers in one manner or another all my questions. I'm glad you had a part in it.

Also, could you explain what is dualism? Could you give me an example? Just so I can follow along.

Blessings to you and didn't mean to jump in.

Yours in Christ,
Maria
