In your utopia, would there be a counsel of judges to interpret real-life situations in light of the scriptures? Or will Jesus Christ be there?

Will we have the right to practice freewill in Esaiasland?

How does following the Bible equate to 'my utopia' and 'Esaiasland'?

I get the picture, you don't want the nation to follow the Bible. Such an idea is laughable to you, deserving of mockery I guess.

No midget wrestling for you, then.

That's me giving Jermyn the what-for, gonna re-educate him soon enough.

"Utopia" is a better word than "dystopia".

"Esaiasland" is a reference to what appears to be your desire for a Bible based government, based off of your responses so far.

Please answer the question. Will Jesus Christ physically be there?

In this Bible based utopia, which Bible will for the basis of the governmental laws and policies? What will you do about the real-life situations that are not even remotely addressed by the Bible?

They don't have to wrestle, but will you let them marry the giants from other countries?

This. Looks. Painful!

Would Jesus really want to live in an America operating under the law of God as written in the Holy Bible?

Hmm, let's actually deal with this as if it were a genuinely serious question.

Let's look at some facts:

1. Christ is the one who gave the law of God.

2. Christ obeyed the law of God PERFECTLY while on earth.

3. All those destined for glory are predestinated to be conformed to His image (likeness).

I'd say... mmmm.....errrrr....welllll..... let me just say it's highly probable that Christ would prefer to live in a nation that was obedient to the law He Himself gave and exemplified, as opposed to living in a nation that was obedient to some other man made law.

Maybe? Maybe just a slight possibility?
