Where did Jesus go?

The documentary says "likely a person would not die after only six hours hanging on a cross" I wonder if smart people wll ever be actually smart.

Any other person might have died of the stress they put upon Jesus so his hanging for six hours is a long time on the uh cross. Does nobody consider 1. his sweating blood 2. being an innocent man 3. being able to stop it but not stopping it 4. one of his best friends forsaking him 5. his poor mother a witness 6. his nation forsaking him 7. knowing he will fail 8. flogged 9. taunted ....

For the most part he did fail.

Believers in Jesus say he will come again. Where did he go and why?


The scriptures say that Jesus rose from the dead to offer victory over death to believers and He ascended to heaven to the right hand of the Father because that is where He came from originally,...
1 Corinthians 15; Mark 16:19; 1 Peter 3:22; Luke 24:51; Acts 1:9-11.

Why did he leave? Where did he go? What was he doing for 2000 years?

I believe the scriptures indicate He left earth to return to His home, the heavenly realm. For the last 2000 years He has been building His church and continues to do so...until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. Romans11:25

Even the gospels say he was guilty.
.
Which scripture please?

Which is not accurate because the beating alone could be lethal
Yes my point exactly. The reason why I posted was just that. Just his stress the day before his death might have been lethal for many. Also the beating might have been lethal. We are agreeing because anything is possible. :)

What troubles me is the accounts of Jesus' ascension. Was he literally taken up as so many artists in history have depicted; floating upward into the heavenly spheres while blessing the amazed on lookers? If so where did Jesus go indeed? For someone in the first century it wouldn't be inconcievable that Jesus might ascend to the uppermost heavens but to the modern mind, with full knowlege of what lies beyond the atmosphere of Earth, it is an absurd image. Did Jesus just keep floating into space and onward to some distant star at the speed of light? Is he still on his heavenward journey? Is that why we haven't heard from him in two millenia?

Makes me wonder if Jesus had a spaceship.

Which scripture please?
Hi Savage..... :)
It's OK...... Pilate did not think that J was guilty.
Pilate's wife did not want Pilate to do anything.
It may well have been Jesus Son of the Father (Jesus Barabbas) who with his group caused the insurrection in the Temple and even murdered........
We just don't know....

Just so.....

I hear God wrote on tablets of stone ten commandments.

Ya, about that.

Don't you find it funny these same commandments existed in Mesopotamian and Egyptian cultures long before Israelites made that claim.


Do you think your god copied them on purpose?

That is not true in any sense. :facepalm: Just a cheap jab due to your bias here.

There is no credibility at all in him being there, no plausibility based on the evidence presented.
Since when has evidence ever entered into story telling, especially as it concerns Jesus or Harry Potter? Maybe you are the one that is biased here.

I believe Jesus was resurrected and brought by God to God's right hand where he lives but not in flesh. He appeared in flesh to witnesses and he was risen in what appeared to be flesh but I think it's a stretch to say those visions mean he IS in flesh. When he was flesh he was seen walking on water as a spirit. Why not believe the person of Jesus was spirit because he walked on water? I think it is not fair to say he being seen in the flesh after his death means he is in flesh now but saying he being seen as a spirit walking on water doesn't mean he is a spirit.

He said he would be "with" his disciples (Matthew 28:20). If he is "coming again" but he is here with his disciples where did he go that he may come again?
