Who wrote the book of Jonah?

Answered by . January 22, 2013 - 9:06 pm

Although the book does not identify its author, it is traditional to assume that Jonah himself wrote it.

In the early 19th century, names were given to the strata, e.g. Devonian, named after the British county of Devon where the Devonian […]

Where did Christ’s physical resurrected body go in the Ascension?

Answered by . November 27, 2012 - 10:00 pm

Jesus Christ’s resurrected body was/is part of him – you can’t separate Jesus from his body.  Jesus is at the right hand of God in heaven.
