Many Christians believe that heaven is not a real physical place in the universe, so doesn't this also hold the Resurrection to purely metaphorical language/story? Acts has Jesus ascending into the clouds.
The Catholic Church teaches that "heaven is the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness". In heaven one experiences the beatific vision. The church holds that,
>by his death and Resurrection, Jesus Christ has 'opened' heaven to us. The life of the blessed consists in the full and perfect possession of the fruits of the redemption accomplished by Christ... Heaven is the blessed community of all who are perfectly incorporated into Christ.
>
>In the glory of heaven the blessed continue joyfully to fulfill God's will in relation to other men and to all creation. Already they reign with Christ; with him 'they shall reign for ever and ever' (Rev 22:5).
Heaven is considered a state, a condition of existence, rather than a particular place somewhere in the cosmos. Pope John Paul II declared:
>The 'heaven' or 'happiness' in which we will find ourselves is neither an abstraction nor a physical place in the clouds, but a living, personal relationship with the Holy Trinity. It is our meeting with the Father which takes place in the risen Christ through the communion of the Holy Spirit.
Obviously the distinction is there in Acts, but is it to be found in Paul?
The house of the rising son.
Those that had an important role in society and considered themselves superior wanted to get rid of the pure, weak worshippers that were following Isa’s ( peace be upon him ) path . Naturally, they wanted to defend themselves . This is when Isa ( peace be upon him ) gave them the most beautiful advice that soon enough was going to become the most famous saying of his. He advised them that if one was slapped on the left cheek, then to offer the offender the right as well. He assured them that Allah is the One and Only who grants victory and success.
The Jews went to the Romans and all the local kings that had taken over Palestine. They instigated fear and hatred for Isa (peace be upon him), lying that he aimed towards stealing their kingdom.
Knowing that the prophet called for resistance of temptations and a pious life, they feared that their world (which more or less was based on the opposite of Allah’s commands) was coming to an end and decided to have Isa ( peace be upon him ) crucified.
Since Isa ( peace be upon him ) held a very important place in Allah’s sight, he had been told by Angel Jibril about the conspiracy calling for his death.
It is said in a narration that a man by the name of Yahuda al-Askhayooty ( Judas the Iscariot ), a disciple of his, was the one who deceived Isa ( peace be upon him) and told the Romans and Jews where the prophet was.
Because of this wicked act, Allah made Yahuda look exactly like Isa ( peace be upon him ) and had him crucified instead of the prophet.
And their saying “We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of God ” – whereas they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the matter was made dubious to them. Those who differ about this matter and about Jesus are indeed confused; they have no definite knowledge thereof, following mere conjecture; and of a certainty, they killed him not. ( Holy Quran, An-Nisa 157 )
The children of Israel not only bragged about killing a human being, but a messenger – one among the best of them. Allah , wouldn’t have left His precious messenger be killed in such a terrible way , so Isa ( peace be upon him ) was saved from the ruthless claws of his people.
And they (the unbelievers) schemed (against Jesus), and God put His will into effect (and brought their schemes to nothing). God wills what is the best (for His believing servants) and makes His will prevail. ( Holy Quran, Imran 54 )
When Maryam ( peace be upon her ) heard about the cruci

But as soon as he arrives, God the Father tells him something to the effect of "My Son, your work on Earth is not done. I will send you to the far away lands of the Han, so that the people there will accept the Word as well".
Around 47 AD, a strange man in strange clothing appears in China, preaching to the people of modern-day Nanjing and Shanghai. What happens next?
If mainstream Christian theology teaches that Christ was bodily risen from the dead, walked and talked with the apostles after he was crucified, and was risen into heaven, does it logically follow that Christ, in his flesh, exists somewhere in this universe? Or perhaps that he exists in a metaphysical state able to transcend natural laws of physics but still bound to a corporeal existence?

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hello, looking for advices as disc priest,
Today in tyranical 15 was rough. We somehow missed pride by 0.30% went with only bloodlust and it was hard.
Dot is heavy, I need to hard cast shadowmend because atonement isn't enough. Hard casting means my feet are rooted, I can dodge most dark bullet as long as there is only 2 or 3 spawner but once there is spawner oustide of my screen, I most likely will take one in the ass. And then it's hell on earth.
I need advices (other than don't forget the pride/BL and dodge everything). As far as I understood the boss : A1) You can bait Dot by being the most far away from boss. A2) Dot can be cleansed by Kyrian pot, Iceblock and Dwarf racial. A3) Damage on tank is reasonable so I can pain sup/barrier player with dot to alleviate damage. B1) Damage on party is null except dark bullets that can two shot anyone. B2) Bullets spawner are spawned from the boss, they never disapear B3) Tank needs to kite to boss so in time spawners will circle the room B4) Top down camera don't encompass the whole arena so you can't check every spawner at once.
Am I missing some obvious solution or must I just tough it up and endure while praying this combat end the sooner possible ?
Wooooooooo \o/

Do any of the Covenants have anything useful in the 4th Upgrade slot, or is it all Mount's and Cosmetics? I really am not liking PoA and struggling to see the value in the time investment. Thank you!
Twelve days before the Day of the God-Emperor’s Ascension, the killteam returned to Watch-Fortress Zagreus. The equinox, battered as it ever was after a mission, slid silently into one of the star fortress’s many hangars. Her paint was scored and scratched, and the machine spirit grumbled for it. The bellicose and proud war machine was no stranger to battle, and while the ork’s shootahs caused virtually no damage, the sheer quantity of bullets left the ship’s paint in tattered fragments and her hull covered with countless tiny dents and imperfection.
That, and a Mek gun’s lucky shot had overloaded her void shield generators and that always put her in a foul mood, let alone the subsequent crash-landing.
Despite the best efforts of Ogadai, the marines had not been permitted to keep the looted Baneblade for themselves. Keeping an experimental and possibly heretical prototype was one thing, keeping a Baneblade, no matter how badly modified by the Ork, was something else entirely. Beyond that, there is no way to make a tank discrete unless your name is Usrukar Creed, so bringing it on further missions would be somewhat impractical.
As the killteam approached, a scowl came over Andriel’s face. “He’s waiting for us. Send him my regards.” The blind librarian told Morn. His sightless eyes could see the void surrounding the inquisitor even from this distance, his hieghtened psychic senses bristling about it. Raising his staff, he opened a gate of infinity and stepped through, appearing in an adjacent hangar and conveniently avoiding the inquisitor.
“I hate it when he does that.” Lokhir grumbled. The young space wolf had yet to become entirely accustomed to the dark angel’s casual use of his abilities. “Though I can’t say I blame him. All inquisitors stink, but this one is particularly putrid.”
Atra raised an eyebrow at that statement. “I haven’t ever smelled anything off about him, except maybe a bit too much leather and stress.” She replied. “And I’m stuck spending an uncomfortable amount of time around him.”
“I mean you’re hardly the most perceptive of us, even with that eye of yours, but how could you not?”
“I’ve not noticed any odd smell. Though the air about him is unnaturally cold.” Ish’van spoke up as they prepared to exit the craft. “And the fortress is hardly pleasant at the best of times.”
“Hah! You call this cold? This would be a balmy summer day on Fenris!”
“Yes. Which is one of many reasons why, as much as I respect the sons of Russ, I ne
