Talk:Session of Christ

"in heaven"
The article's intro says the New Testament describes "Jesus as standing and walking in Heaven", but it's my understanding that Jesus never actually says he's going to "heaven" (even if others might), but uses other terms, such as "my father's house" and "paradise". Should another term be substituted? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 21:37, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, "heaven" is certainly mentioned in Acts 7:55, the verse in which Jesus is described as "standing". But since the article is about the Christian doctrine (as in the Apostles' Creed), "heaven" is quite appropriate. StAnselm (talk) 21:52, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Use in hymnody
Just listing the hymns that mention the concept is WP:Trivia, and does not add encyclopaedic value to the article. If the concept really is notably used in hymnody, there should be sources that discuss this, and they can be used instead. OrangeDog  (τ • ε) 22:57, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see how WP:TRIVIA applies here - in any case, WP:TRIVIA does not advocate the deletion of the section, but only presenting it in a different way. StAnselm (talk) 21:13, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * WP:TRIVIA in a nutshell is "Sections with lists of miscellaneous information (such as "trivia" sections) should be avoided as an article develops. Such information is better presented in an organized way." That indeed does not apply, since "use in hymnody" is a specific relevant subtopic. -- Radagast 3 (talk) 02:22, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Discussion of Daniel 7
I skimmed through this article and did not see any references to Daniel 7, for which the theology of God the Son's session beside God the Father is foundational in the context of the Christian doctrine of the Messiah. Maybe we could include some references to the Book of Daniel's presentation of the Ancient of Days and the Son of Man? Daniel's vision is, essentially, the earliest depiction of the session of the Messiah, from the Christian viewpoint. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hierosolimitanum (talk • contribs) 23:54, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * This is an excellent point, and it should indeed be added in. Many of the NT passages that quote Daniel 7 pick up the "coming" idea rather than the "sitting" idea, but Matthew 26:64 and Mark 14:62 have "you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power". I will put this into the article. StAnselm (talk) 00:08, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Hurtado
An article on the exaltation of Jesus without any reference to Hurtado is clearly missing essential information, c.q. can't be a Good Article. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk!  07:36, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * What material from Hurtado do you think should be included? StAnselm (talk) 07:58, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Apologies for the remark can't be a Good Article; that was unnecessary. I've added some; I'm reading several publications by Hurtado and Dunn at the moment, and learning while reading, so it may not be perfect yet. Trying my best to improve over time!

Exalted after his death?
Christ myth theory says

"According to mainstream scholarship, Jesus was an eschatological preacher or teacher, who was exalted after his death."

This appears to contradict Resurrection of Jesus, which says

"The post-resurrection appearances of Jesus are explained as visionary experiences that gave the impetus to the belief in the exaltation of Jesus"

Do we really want Wikipedia to present the Exaltation of Christ (which redirects to Session of Christ) as a fact that is supported by mainstream scholarship? --Dalek Supreme X (talk) 00:54, 6 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Corrected diff. Joshua Jonathan  - Let's talk!  05:38, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm still trying to figure out the contradiction you refer to. But the word "exaltation" is probably being used in two ways: (a) in the minds of the disciples, or (b) in actual fact. StAnselm (talk) 13:59, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Exaltation of Jesus same as Session of Christ?
Is the Exaltation of Jesus the same as the Session of Christ? The redirect seems to suggest it, the separate paragraph - to contradict it (just one aspect). Mess... Arminden (talk) 17:03, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
