[B]Psalm 139:8
8 If I ascend into Heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.If you have to "ascend" into Heaven then that means that it is "northward" or "up" relative to your current position. [/B]
So Heaven spins, rotates and moves around to be directly above with whomever died and is "ascending"...
Or, could it be that when the Bible was written, people didn't know that the Earth wasn't flat and saying "you go up into heaven" made the most sense considering their limited understanding?

Up relative to the earth means 90 degrees. Talk to doctors and nurses who have encountered people who have died on the operating table. Many of them can tell you that the person who died and then came back to life described events that took place in the room that only a person with a third person view could know.
Could it be that as they were dying, they hallucinated?
