Again, this contradicts the words of Christ, in that he did not ascend to the Father until 40 days after his resurrection
John 20:17 “Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”
Peter even ties Jesus' not being abandoned to Hades by the resurrection. Peter explicitly associates the BOTH not being abandoned in Hades and His body not seeing decay to the resurrection.
Acts 2:31-32 Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay. God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.
1 corinthians 15:35-38 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. And what you sow is not the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else. But God gives it a body as He has designed, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body.
Scripture is clear that we don't go to heaven naked.
2 corinthians 5:2-4 For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. So while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.
As I said previously, the elect are not naked because they are attired in robes of righteousness when they rise to heaven in spirit upon death.
