The '''Ascension controversy''' relates how the physical ascension occurred, and to [[liberal denial]] about the statement in {{bibleref|Hebrews|9|12}} -- possibly spoken by [[Jesus]] himself on the [[Road to Emmaus]]<ref>[[Mystery:Did Jesus Write the Epistle to the Hebrews?]]</ref>-- that [[Jesus]] entered [[heaven]] with the sacrifice of his blood prior to returning to visit the [[Apostles]].

The '''Ascension controversy''' relates how a physical ascension occurred.  Indeed, it apparently occurred more than once, contrary to [[liberal denial]] about the statement in {{bibleref|Hebrews|9|12}} -- possibly spoken by [[Jesus]] himself on the [[Road to Emmaus]]<ref>[[Mystery:Did Jesus Write the Epistle to the Hebrews?]]</ref>-- that [[Jesus]] entered [[heaven]] with the sacrifice of his blood prior to returning to visit the [[Apostles]].

Further controversy concerns whether "ascended" is the most precise [[English]] term for entering [[heaven]], as "ascended" overly physical in connotation that unnecessarily distorts and also is an obstacle to non-believers.
