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?

To anusvara: sorry to hear about the obese woman's burial. I think the worst part is the blatant disregard for the family's wishes. A funeral, in my opinion, is more for the comfort of the survivors than for the deceased. In any case, sorry, I can not disclose why the anonymous group teaches it or who they are. I think discussion of the ideas alone is sufficient.
To michael_legna: thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on this subject. Once again I am impressed by RC teachings as you have presented.
To those who consider dualism of body and soul as "paganism", please clarify Gen 2:7, Gen 35:18, 1Kgs 17:21, Matt 10:28, 1Peter 2:11.
May Grace be upon you,
Nathan
