Why did Jesus ascend into heaven after His resurrection? Would not His presence on Earth prove once for all that Christianity is truth?

If you weren't a mormon with the fallacious belief in the three-person mormon godhead, you wouldn't even have to ask that question.

Jesus is here with us every hour of every day. I'm sorry for you that you would feel the need to compare our Savior in such a blasphemous way.

My questions were rhetorical.

According to Acts 1:9-11, Jesus was taken up into heaven and will return like manner. He did not remain physically on Earth, performing miracles for everyone to see. Had He done so, that would be "proof" to everyone that He is the Son of God, who has all power, including power over death.

Of course, as every Christian should know, in this life we "walk by faith, not by sight." (2 Corinthians 5:7). Jesus promised that His disciples would receive power and the Holy Ghost after His ascension into heaven (Acts 1:8). Although we may not see Him, we can know that Jesus is the Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, by the witness of the Holy Ghost.

Likewise, we can know that the Book of Mormon is true, not by seeing the golden plates, but by the witness of the Holy Ghost.

MILK: If you weren't a mormon with the fallacious belief in the three-person mormon godhead, you wouldn't even have to ask that question.

MEAT: TYhe three-person mormon godhead, where only TWO have a physical body.

QUESTION: Are these THREE equal in every way except that ONE has no BODY?
