Just curious if any Christians know, or have any ideas as to, once they begin their ascension, how long it will take them to reach the promised land. I don't know, but I'm thinking it must be quite a long flight being that heaven must be outside and beyond the 14 billion light year across universe, so, even should you travel at the speed of light, it would take at the very least 14 billion years to get there. It's a really long way to go!

Given that the Bible portrays paradise as coming to a renewed earth (the new heavens and the new earth), not long."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Jim is more interested in getting his impression of Christianity from Left Behind movies than what the Bible actually says."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

I'm guessing you mean at the Second Coming. Caught up isn't the same thing as 'everybody goes to heaven'. Actually, it comes to us in the form of the New Jerusalem.
