I think we will become creators along with our Father. Maybe we too will visit a world and be sacrificed like Jesus. I think God has BIG plans for us!
What will we do in God's Kingdom?

What does the Bible say?
What do you think the Kingdom of God is?
Are we designed to be creators? You bet! But only to fashion things out of what God first created….we are more like fabricators than creators like God is…..although science is coming up with new ways to synthesize things….it’s getting scary….playing God was not something the Creator gave us permission to do.
Why would God require another sacrifice when the one offered by Christ was “once for all time”.
Do you understand the mechanics of redemption?……Why did Jesus have to die to save us?
What plans does God have for his vast Universe? He doesn’t tell us, but I’m sure he has amazing ones.
But first he had to teach us the value of obedience…..and learning to drive the free will he gave us so that we would know how to drive it unselfishly. The first humans received God’s instructions, and if they had not disobeyed his command, they never would have died physically, and we would be much more advanced in our development, both spiritually and mentally. If humans think that they are clever now……then at the peak of our potential, it will seem like kindergarten stuff by comparison.
Perhaps we will gather together to worship God when Jesus sounds the alarm/trumpet to gather for worship.
Sorry but the Mormon teaching about becoming the God of another world is no where found in the bible.

Do you even understand what the Kingdom is? Why Would we visit another world and be sacrificed like Jesus? Do you think God will allow sin to exist on other planets?
Is it possible that there will be things for us to do that aren't mentioned in the Bible?
I believe we may get to help those outside in the darkness. Continue to do the will of Yahavah, and meet and feast together in the Kingdom, how that is spiritually idk but yeah, I'm down for it.
Ive always wanted to ask Yahavah, God Of Israel, if I could come back here, I also told my mom Idk if perhaps Yahavah could sent angels to help people here on earth or not, or we just go out to those outside the kingdom and help them.
I have a lot of hope for many activities for us to do. We were created to do something, not just do nothing.
It would be awesome to time travel and visit many places and events!

Actually, I have no aspirations to judge angels.
But there will be plenty of time to do ANYTHING and see anything and learn anything.

Will we also judge people that lived on Earth?
On the other hand, we will be transformed and we may decide that there are better things to do.
I’ve heard it could be the previous generation judging us when we get to heaven, maybe they decide to let us in or not… idk, but also I’ve heard that maybe we are the next to judge the next generation. But that is total speculation. @Lambano considering “angels” refer to human messengers sometimes…

Apparently, some of us will rule over other humans during the Millenium, and others will have some sort of priestly function. I don't have any aspirations for that either.

Okay.
First, there is no scriptural evidence that there is any other life outside of the planet earth. We're not speaking of spirit beings like angels, we're speaking of intelligent life on other planets. People who claim to see UFO's are deluded by evil spirit, and fallen angels, like Satan who "transforms himself into an angel of light." Their main purpose is to deceive, just as Satan did in the garden when he deceived Eve.
According to scripture, Earth is the first and only planet to have intelligent life. Besides, why would God create life on other planets and then allow them to come to Earth and interfere in Earth's affairs? That's not to say that God's plan was not to create life throughout the universe, it certainly was.
So what's a Kingdom? It's a government, Jesus taught His disciples to pray for the Kingdom of God in Matthew 6, when they asked Him, to "teach us to pray." This is the Kingdom government that will right all the wrongs. It will rule over the earth, and Jesus will be its King. He earned that right as the ransom sacrifice. It is through that ransom that the world of mankind is redeemed.
Not only is Jesus the ruler, but he has co-rulers, and that's where the Church comes in. The Church isn't a certain denomination, sect or group. The Church isn't a building with a steeple and cross on top, it's the EKKLESIA, "called out ones". Individuals who have been called out of this dark world and into His marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9)
It started with Jews, but as a nation, they rejected Jesus as the promised Messiah. Those who did accept Him were released from the Law and ushered into the "freedom in Christ" (Galatians 5:1), later the invitation was extended to the Gentiles, non-Jews. Together they would make up the Body of Christ. These would sacrifice earthly wealth and ambitions and follow Him. Not an easy task. Recall the rich young man who asked Jesus what he needed to do, and Jesus told him "Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor ... then come, follow Me.” Remember what happened? We're told "he became extremely sad, because he was very rich." (Luke 18:18-23) There's nothing wrong with being rich, as long as we use it in the Lord's service. Unlike certain televangelists who live in multi-million dollar mansions and drive hundred-thousand-dollar sports cars.
This group of individuals has been told to make sacrifices (Romans 12:1) Paul likened it to running a race, (Acts 20:24) we are to sacrifice all fleshly desires and run the race of the high calling in Christ Jesus (1 Cor. 9:24; 2 Tim. 4:7; Philippians 3:14; Heb. 12:1). Our heavenly Father does not just accept anyone. He calls you, you answer, he invites you, you count the cost and accept or you may reject the offer, the choice is yours. After all, if the Kingdom of God has rulers, then there must be subjects. The subjects will be the world of mankind, those not part of the Church.
Now this Church is a numbered class, we won't debate the number, we'll leave that for another discussion, but it is a numbered class, because the Apostle tells us in Romans, that although the Jews as a nation rejected Jesus, because as he said "that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in." See that? "until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in." When the number is filled. When that number is filled, their eyes will be opened and they will know what they missed out on as a nation.
It has taken some 2,000 years for this body to be filled, because God doesn't just accept ANYONE. This isn't a "I'm saved" "I'm going to heaven because I believe". There's a purpose for going to heaven, it's not about sitting on a cloud and playing the harp. Jesus and his Church, Jesus the High Priest and his Church, His under-priest will reconcile the world of mankind back to the Father, so that as the Scriptures tell us, that "God may be all in all." (1 Corinthians 15:20-18)
Apparently, some of us will rule over other humans during the Millenium, and others will have some sort of priestly function. I don't have any aspirations for that either.
I hope that I am selected to be the judge of the folks that changed the recipe for Mcdonald's chicken nuggets.
