Metaphysically thinking, living to a million would mean little if there’s no afterlife.

The concept of extraordinarily long lives has been kicking around mythology and philosophy for a long time. Most treatments end up with, “Please, just let me die!”

As Christians, when we conceptualize “eternal life,” we have to make sure that we don’t come up with “this life, only it goes on endlessly.” That way lies despair.
