26 - So Where Is Heaven Anyway?
In this twenty-sixth episode, we discuss what it means that Jesus Christ comes down from heaven, remembering that in this case, and many others, the heights of heaven refer to the Eternal Divinity of God Himself, and not to the geography or altitude of heaven.

We therefore include links to his podcast (http://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/freeman) and to purchase his book, Everywhere Present (https://store.ancientfaith.com/everywhere-present-christianity-in-a-one-storey-universe/). -
