Context and limits
Self-selection, retrospective memory, retelling, cultural framing, and unclear timing can limit inference. Prospective research helps address some questions but does not establish a supernatural destination. We avoid both uncritical acceptance and automatic dismissal.
Bible references and explanations here are identified paraphrases unless stated otherwise. Source inclusion does not mean full-text review, endorsement, or rights clearance. No named independent reviewer sign-off has been supplied.
