But you're sure that Jesus went to the real Heaven, right?

Yes, and I'm really sure that he said:

John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

Elijah was a man and he did ascend. But if he ascended to the same heaven Jesus came from, then is Jesus delusional?

How would you explain that fact that Jeroham got a letter from Elijah years after he had been taken away to heaven?
Poor mail delivery? He crossed over with Johnathan Edward? Are messages from Heaven unheard of?

No, but certainly ones written on paper are.

Hey Al. You want me to take over the daily readings in here while you're tending to your wife and new kid?

Elijah did not ascend into heaven. Elijah was "taken up." God reached down and carried Elijah up. Jesus, being God, rose on his own power. There is a distinction of actor being made. This is why we say that Jesus Ascended into Heaven, while Mary was Assumed into heaven.
