    It is not true that God did not want Israel to have a King, that was a particular instance in Samuel.

        Our glorified bodies will be physical. Just like Jesus's was.

          We will need glorified bodies to keep up with the 72 virgins...

                Yes, we won't be reproducing, just as the angels don't.

                        Meh. I can take the royalty or leave it. I don't pay taxes to them, so I don't really care.

                          So does Canada pay anything to the UK as a subject nation?

                          ETA: read this:
                          Queen costs us more than the Brits pay
                          Over the past 10 years, the Canadian cost of supporting the monarchy has more than doubled

                              You have admiration of demi. To say it is wrong, deny what you were taught since young, foundation essence of culture of yours. Takes great courage.
                              Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.
