But what position in Jesus’ government would you want in the Millennium?

How about nothing? At least, nothing with any kind of authority. I can barely get people to like me much less do what I want.

Ahh but you forget that you aren’t the ruler, you are his ambassador.
Jesus is the guy everyone will be subject to, not Eerie. If they won’t listen to you it’s an offense against him.

[Beckendorf_Direscope]

You can't believe how funny accurate that would be.

[Eerie_Coppernight]

Can I just work with machines.......or small children? Small children are easily amused and machines are understandable.

[Beth_Applemine]

Ask him.

[Sierepica_Fuzzywalker]

You can't believe how funny accurate that would be.

A fraught press secretary sees many things from many people and has an expanded capacity for belief, Mr. Beck.

"yes, yes, no. trust me, i am a functioning member of society and can definitely be trusted around small children and heavy machinery. yes, foreshore. of course."

[Eerie_Coppernight]

Says the fellow who insists he has never joked in his life.

[Pig_Larkcape1]

i have never said any words in my life

[Sierepica_Fuzzywalker]

You forget that this is a Millennium hypothetical. Eerie will be sinless and in a glorified body, and thus completely trustworthy.

Freedom Is____

Freedom is an illusion

That’s kinda true...
You are either serving the devil or serving God. God gives us freedom from death and sin, the devil gives freedom from God. Or the illusion of freedom from God, he catches up with us in the end.

Will you explain, as stated in the poll?

[Lizzy_Ironcraft]

...

Believing that things "evolved" during millions of years into other things (like apes into humans) is absurd and I don't agree with this belief, however animals do "evolve" or more accurately "adapt" (within their own species) to things like habitat, climate, etc. to make themselves better equipped to live in that location.
_{(Also, I haven't really looked into this very much this is just what I've concluded from the little I've read so far.)}

So it really depends on your meaning of evolution. In the case of "Darwinian evolution" (one species changing to another), then no, I don't agree or believe in this.

Precisely.

I concur.

In the matter of how I interpreted the question, I interpreted it as "evolution of humanity's well-being".

I don't believe in the secular worldview of "evolution" as in "people evolving from apes/monkeys", but I do support the theory that humans are constantly finding better ways to- survive.

(I hesitate to use the world live instead of survive, because you can't truly live unless you believe in Jesus, and most of the people who support Darwin's evolutionary views are not believers.)

[Ethan_Burnkeep]

Ok

"evolve" or more accurately "adapt" (within their own species) to things like habitat, climate, etc. to make themselves better equipped to live in that location.

Agreed, although if you are going to say that, the correct term is adapt, because that is not evolution.

I don't believe in the secular worldview of "evolution" as in "people evolving from apes/monkeys", but I do support the theory that humans are constantly finding better ways to- survive.

Agreed as well.

So do you believe in social Darwinism? is curious

[Nautilus_Lightblast]

No, I fully do not.

People like to think that humanity is evolving because of all of the recent technological advancements, but they confuse themselves by thinking that the most recent technological advancements are making our species better and better, rather than realizing the blatant fact that technological advancements, which are steadily increasing efficiency and making us wait less, don't make us more-Christlike in any way.

Sure, technology is useful and all, but there reaches a point when people need to realize that they don't really need the latest iPhone or Macbook, and that if they think they did, for what purpose? It really does represent the increasing greed of humanity.

[Sierepica_Fuzzywalker]

Social Darwinism isn't necessarily anything to do with technology. It's the belief that "survival of the fittest" applies to social status and power. This would mean that Elon Musk has more of a right to a spouse and children than I would, because he is richer and making more contributions to society.

I don't believe in it either.

Aethasian Science

If you are a Christian, but you're constantly surrounded by evil, and letting it chip away at you, you will eventually fall deeper and deeper into sin until the Holy Spirit is completely smothered inside of you, blocked from your vision by all of the evil.

Not if the Holy Spirit is in you, which he is in born-again believers.

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
