Confused and Hungry at Wednesday Night Church (on Yom Kippur)

Yes, I was at church on Yom Kippur.  Went to the men's group.  I don't know if it was the hunger or what but I shared information about myself freely when asked.  I think they got the impression that I had never heard the gospel message because several guys started talking about how Jesus died on the cross for our sins.  And I realized "Whoops, they must think I'm not a Believer."  And so I mentally reviewed what had been said to try to ascertain where they got that impression.  Was it that I had mentioned that I didn't hear G-d when I prayed (as in an actual voice)?  Was it that I hadn't been to church in a long time?  Was it that I met my wife at Messianic Synagogue?  Was it that I had said I didn't understand the discussion question in our workbook that asked "In what ways are you investing in eternity?"  Was it that I had said I didn't understand the idea of laying up treasures in heaven, how it seemed puzzling given we wouldn't need to buy anything?

I thought to myself "It must be that bit about the discussion question"  They must've gotten the wrong idea when I said I didn't understand the question about "investing in eternity".

And then a gentleman started asking me a series of puzzling questions:

"You believe Jesus in heaven, right?"

I thought about it for a moment.  "I think so...yes?"

"He's not in the physical realm, correct?"

"Well, yes, he must be...He's flesh and blood..."

"Let me ask you this:  is He still in the tomb?"

"I don't know...I believe He's G-d..."

"No, no, no.  Is He still in the tomb?"

"G-d is omnipresent..."

"Is He in the tomb?"

"Yes.  He's G-d and G-d is omnipresent so--"

"Did He ascend?"

"Yes."

"Where did He go?"  Now the gentleman was smiling.  But I found this all to be very confusing.

"I..."

"He went up to heaven, didn't He?"

"Not exactly.  He left His Spirit."

"But they couldn't see Him anymore could they?"

"Well, I can't see G-d in this room but I know that--"

"But He disappeared, didn't He?  He's not with us, is He?"

Mercifully, at this point, our time was up.  Everyone had to go pick up their children.  I sighed as I left the room because I didn't understand what that gentleman was talking about.  I chalked it up to being tired from the Yom Kippur fast.

Maybe things will make more sense next time when I have some food on my stomach.  : /
