The Earth will be like it was during the days of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden! "And nothing shall hurt nor destroy in all His holy Kingdom!"--No more stinking automobiles belching fumes, nor big smokey smoke-belching factories! The World is going to go back to animal transportation and carriages and wagons and beautiful, majestic, wind-powered sailing vessels! (Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:2O-25)
During the Millennium, we--the born-again, saved, resurrected Saints--will be in our new supernatural bodies, with amazing miraculous powers such as indestructibility, no pain, sickness or death, but power to destroy enemies at a thought or a glance or a motion, the abilities to appear and disappear, fly, change our appearance into inscrutable disguises to spy on our enemies and invade their most secret hideouts and even their very thoughts with our mind-reading ability and x-ray eyes to see through walls and across vast stretches of distance to detect their plans and operations! Meanwhile we can communicate with each other by mental telepathy without speaking a word, even over great distances, etc., whereas our enemies will have none of these advantages, so it will be fairly easy to rule over them with the wisdom, power, justice and love of Jesus and His personal leadership!

If you want this to happen, get the fuck off your arse and start inventing alternatives. There is no evidence at all to suggest any deity is going to do anything about it. Thomas Midgley wasn't struck down by a fireball from heaven, was he?

Great - mounds of dung everywhere, journeys across the average country would take weeks or months at best, all the while getting ripped off as a captive market at coaching inns, and on every sea journey you'd be in serious danger of death in even a medium-sized storm.
Ah, what a lovely fairy tale. What are you actually doing to bring about world peace, the end of hunger, etc.? Nothing? I thought so.
Until...
Satan, leading his Brotherhood of the Fallen, arrives! Setting up an evil headquarters deep within the murky swamps of Louisiana, he will forge an army of darkness in a mad gambit to take over the world! At his side will be a super-strong voodoo plant zombie, an alien with a big head and a cool ring, a chick in cat pajamas, and a clueless idiot that tells the Saints everything that the Brotherhood is about to do, only in the form of a nonsensical riddle.
Why would there be enemies in this Heaven? And even if there were, if you could do all those things, why would you allow your "enemies" to continue?
Why would you bother with sailing ships and animal carts if you can fucking fly?
Oh, I get it! What's the point in being right if you don't have someone wrong whose nose you can rub in it? What's the point of having miraculous powers if you have no one you can beat the shit out of with them? Your "enemies" will actually just be there for you to play with, won't they?
That has got to be the most immature, selfish, childish idea of paradise I've ever read.
Ed, I love your post.
Is The Family like 10 years old? Because ditto the blotter sheets and Marvel comics habit. I imagine he's eating them both at this point.
And I thought after the Crapture all sinners were going to be sent to Hell, forever. Where are these "enemies" going to come from?
Well it started off pretty ideal, but then when you started mentioning x-ray vision, invisibility, telepathy and cookoo crap you went way off the deep end!
Why do you need invisibility and mind reading if you can destroy your enemies with a simple thought? why do you need the cool transports if you can fly and appear/disappear? And lastly, "mental telepathy without speaking a word"? as oppossed to what, mental telepathy in which you do speak? Verbal telepathy without speaking a word? Just telepathy covers it.
(yes, I choose to criticize that because the whole superhero complex is just too much for me)
This deserves a "dad" award. :D
At first I thought it was him ^^ Well, until he started ranting about "power to destroy enemies at a thought..." Before that, including the indestructible supernatural bodies, it sounded just like dad.
It gets even better. This dude writes later on in the same delusional rant:
After this climactic Battle of Gog and Magog, all the unsaved of all ages will be resurrected for the final Great White Throne Judgment! All of the unsaved dead will finally be raised to stand before God Himself in the final Judgment in which "the books are opened", and they will all be given their final sentences according to their works and will be assigned to their final places in the hereafter. (Revelation 2O:11-15) God's great Heavenly Space City will then descend from above to the beautiful, recreated, Garden-of-Eden-like new earth!--And God Himself will dwell with us right here on Earth! It will be like God taking over the World by invading it from Outer Space--bringing down His Heavenly City and restoring Himself as the King of kings forever! This great Space City is 1,500 miles long, 1,500 miles wide and 1,500 miles high!--The greatest space vehicle ever created, the most wonderful Spaceship ever conceived, built by the Lord and on its way down to Earth now! (Revelation 21:All!)
We are Borg. Resistance is futile.
I don't know if you got the newsflash, but Revelations is a metaphorical work, meaning you're not supposed to take it literally.
Acid has nothing on this shtuff...lay off the bad theologians man. They're messing with your brains worse than the drugs do.

Dude... lay off the drugs. You're making the rest of us look bad.
Unless you're kidding, in which case, do go on. :D
No stupid Internet to post stupid things on Reader's Corner, right...? Good thing too, as it's only has one reader, apparently.
I have epilepsy, and have been unconscious about 6 or 7 times, since 1993. This has completely cured me of my fear of death; I think death is like being unconscious, but with no waking up afterwards. It's the waking up afterwards that sucks! I don't want to die yet, of course, I want to live to about 104 or so, but I'm not scared of dying.
There it is. The straight out admission that their very useless menial Earth life will be transformed into an all powerful overseer and judger of humanity,,, The fundie warrior God recently of Heaven.
because someone told you to put the fork down, stop eating for awhile and stop pretending you're so very super special and Jesus' buddy.
Amazed at the level of Marvel Comics X-Men references here, could be any comic line for those abilities BUT MAINLY these are ALL Biblical God Given (Or Ironically, "I will be God") powers. Name one hero with all those. Rouge would mentally loose it and the Mimic would probably explode. Superman has less than half that shit on his best day.
This is miracles from the Bible fantasy.
He IS CHRISTIAN GOD in this scenario. Omnipresent.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
