4.4.8 Ascension

 

• Why are verses deleted? Are they “inspired” or not?
• Was Jesus risen by himself, or has he been risen by God? Paul's concept that Jesus was raised by God. Mark writes that Jesus has raised himself!
• Why was the ascension deleted from NRSV and the short version of the Gospel according to Mark?
• Short Version of Mark: Appearances of Jesus after his resurrection and ascension do not exist in the ancient copies of the Bible (Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus).

 

The Islamic tradition holds that Jesus was ascended to God.

Also the Islamic tradition holds that Bible was changed and now this is another proof.
