Would Jesus Fly Airplanes?

I know I'm going to kick myself for asking this, but what are "happy socks?"

so his physical body at this moment is someplace thats not on this planet? so he's in space somewhere?

I've heard them referred to as "Victory Socks" as well.

I think the more appropriate question would be, "If Jesus were alive today, would he ride as a passenger on a regional airline?"

 

[dash8driver]

you could always ask if jesus would PFT

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

...and how would he account for those three days of unemployment on his resume?

 

[FN FAL]

Don't you need a written note from a doctor to have that many days off the job in row?

The Bible does not specify His location in a reference we would recognize.

In Mark it says
16:19
"So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God."

In Luke

24:51
"Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven."

In John there is no mention of His departure but it is noted that not everything was recorded:

21:25
"And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen."

Then, in Acts, we find

1:9
"Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

1:10
And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,

1:11
who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."

1:12
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey."

It may be that this is on a "need to know" basis.

He might complain that the windows are too low on a CRJ.

 

[dash8driver]

ok, but if he's not on this planet as you say...then he must be on another planet. right?

 

[Timebuilder]

Since He created too many planets to be conceived, I think it is a safe bet that He is on one of them. Scripture leaves this door open, and does not specify.

Another idea is that He left this dimension for another, a concept too abstract to put into scripture that covers so many people in so many cultures and states of development.

Probably a better idea to just say that He left.

 

[dash8driver]

well, i wasnt looking for the specific planet.. just that he must be on a planet somewhere. but thats an odd concept, thats kind of along the lines of l.ron hubbard's thinking, isnt it?

if he left this dimension, could his physical body follow?

 

[Timebuilder]

Since I'm a little weak on astrophysics, I would imagine that if He existed in this dimension, He could also physically exist in another dimension.

Remember, He made dimensions, too. In fact, He could exist in the multiple timelines theorized by some thinkers. The aspects on omnipotence and omnipresence suggest that idea.

oooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh.
