The Bible doesn't say Christ ascended into Heaven from two different places. However, truth be known, it is my understanding that He ascended to the Father prior to and returned prior to His final ascension. I can back that claim up if you are really wanting to know.
LOL, the Bible doesn't say Christ ascended into heaven at two different years.
Luk 24:50 Now He led them out as far as to Bethany, and, lifting up His hands, He blesses them."
Luk 24:51 And it occurred as He is blessing them, He put an interval between Himself and them, and He was carried up into heaven."
Bethany is 1.5 miles from Jerusalem.
Mat 28:16,17 Now the eleven disciples went into Galilee, into the mountain where Jesus arranges with them. And, perceiving Him, they worship Him, yet they hesitate."
Matthew does not state Jesus ascended into heaven from Galilee. Jesus was hanging around for 40 days after His resurrection.
No, they got their story straight. You just are putting it together wrongly.
None of the four gospels say "These are the final words Jesus spoke. But the account given of Him being taken up into heaven would most likely be the last words He spoke to the disciples.
From Bethany is His final ascent and He ascended twice.
Bethany is on the eastern slope of Mt. Olivet.
The Bible doesn't say He ascended from Galilee.
If that's what you think.
It's what I know, and what is obvious. Your desperation to cobble together a story that "might just fit all accounts assuming they omit some events and thus misunderstand the full story individually" is far too transparent.
Doesn't he also have a problem with iron chariots?
LOL Oh Yeah. "no not at all, it's just the Jews sinned and it wasn't mentioned, So Yahweh abandoned them from the Iron Chariots but not from the Wooden ones. It was definitely not that Iron Chariots were beyond Yahweh of the Desert's attempts at destruction with his "weak magical" fires."
There is nothing wrong with mental gymnastics especially when the brains of Christians are so well trained that we can run circles around the weak minds of the untrained unbeliever.
Of course the serpent and donkey were able to talk. The same God Who created the universe, is anything too hard for Him? No. Same goes for Jonah and Noah. Your problem is you think God is too weak.
So you are saying that God can do stuff? Can he do stuff now? In the present? Or only in the past?

That's the crux of what I find most difficult to understand. Cognitive dissonance.
The same people who say "science can't explain what happened before the big bang" are perfectly content to say that everything needs a creator except for their god. God can be eternal but not the universe apparently.
The same with the question of why god can't just come down right now and personally inform every person on the planet of his existence rather than to tell a handful of people and just hope everybody accepts their stories. Why would that make sense to anybody, is completely beyond my pea brain.

If you were God, would you really go to such efforts for people who hate and despise you? God reveals Himself to those who sincerely have a heart to seek Him.
