If there are only 144,000 'saved' what happens to the millions of Christians in the USA who follow Jesus?...... | |

The 144,000 is not referring to the total number of souls saved. It refers to the number saved at the end of days.

You might like this also... "The Little Number Who Are Saved" sermon by St. Leonard of Port Maurice [link to www.olrl.org] snip: It is not vain curiosity but salutary precaution to proclaim from the height of the pulpit certain truths which serve wonderfully to contain the indolence of libertines, who are always talking about the mercy of God and about how easy it is to convert, who live plunged in all sorts of sins and are soundly sleeping on the road to hell. To disillusion them and waken them from their torpor, today let us examine this great question: Is the number of Christians who are saved greater than the number of Christians who are damned? Pious souls, you may leave; this sermon is not for you. Its sole purpose is to contain the pride of libertines who cast the holy fear of God out of their heart and join forces with the devil who, according to the sentiment of Eusebius, damns souls by reassuring them. To resolve this doubt, let us put the Fathers of the Church, both Greek and Latin, on one side; on the other, the most learned theologians and erudite historians; and let us put the Bible in the middle for all to see. Now listen not to what I will say to you – for I have already told you that I do not want to speak for myself or decide on the matter – but listen to what these great minds have to tell you, they who are beacons in the Church of God to give light to others so that they will not miss the road to heaven. In this manner, guided by the triple light of faith, authority and reason, we will be able to resolve this grave matter with certainty. Note well that there is no question here of the human race taken as a whole, nor of all Catholics taken without distinction, but only of Catholic adults, who have free choice and are thus capable of cooperating in the great matter of their salvation. First let us consult the theologians recognized as examining things most carefully and as not exaggerating in their teaching: let us listen to two learned cardinals, Cajetan and Bellarmine. They teach that the greater number of Christian adults are damned, and if I had the time to point out the reasons upon which they base themselves, you would be convinced of it yourselves. But I will limit myself here to quoting Suarez. After consulting all the theologians and making a diligent study of the matter, he wrote, "The most common sentiment which is held is that, among Christians, there are more damned souls than predestined souls." |

What's so important about "belief" in Jesus? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1039129And what does "belief" mean"? That he was God's only Son? What's so important about that, even if the string of words makes sense (which I doubt)? I don't reject God because I don't - like the rest of the other religions of the world - accept that God had only one son, as Christians claim. So why should I be punished for not being a Christian? What kind of God is it that you Christians believe in who punishes those who don't believe the particular spin you put on Jesus? You are infantile. You make up a straw dummy and then attack it because you do not like it. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that your are going to be punished for rejecting God. It says you will be cast into outer darkness for rejecting God. Because you have rejected him, you then have the opportunity to be without him for all eternity. Let's face it, that is what you believed in the first place, so that is what you are entitled to. 1st Place in Novel Sales for 6 yrs! [link to www.mobipocket.com] |

Why do you make crazy shit like that up? The Bible is very specific on this issue. The 144,000 will be Jews who will be overwhelmingly powerful evangelists. Jesus will be sealed on their foreheads. (i.e. phylacteries on their forehead) So they will teach of Jesus to the world from a Jewish perspective.

No really, im intrigued...... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1038227Most people will disagree with this, which is fine. But since you asked: The 144,000 are the saints to be redeemed from the old covenant. The multitude that it speaks of later are to be redeemed from the new covenant. It is as simple as that. Scripture to support this: Isaiah 54 1 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. 2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; 3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. 5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. 6 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. 7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. 8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. 9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. 10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee. This passage is explained in Hebrews.... Hebrews 4 21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? 22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. 24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. 28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. 29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. Read Jeremiah ch 3 if you are confused on who the desolate woman is and understand that Jesus came to restore that which was lost; the lost sheep of the house of Israel. It is a fulfillment of the promise made in this chapter. Romans 11 speaks to the same thing. If you have never considered this, it is alot to take in and you will probably resist it at first. Give it some time, question it, read further and prove it out...it adds a tremendous depth to the framework of the gospel. Last Edited by YellowSquash on 07/20/2010 05:04 PM |

His bread will be supplied, and water will not fail him.

When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” - John 8:4 |

The 144,000 are Jewish, Virgin, Men. And, they are freshly saved...Messianic Jews. Jews that believe in Christ. Revelation 7:4 4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed: Revelation 14 4:-5 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God. |

That being said, most Christians, especially in the USA, aren't really Christians. They have never read the bible and jump behind Jesus because they feel it entitles them to hate and bigotry. Even Jesus said many will follow him that do not know him, and he will turn them away in the end. |

Being Born-Again, what conjecturists try to explore is simply of no importance. Knowing that God's Will IS Perfect, we Trust HIM Fully and Do HIS Will not our own.

What in the fuck do you think Christ Jesus' Second Coming is? Some kind of ballgame or social event you can critique and simply watch? That your comments matter? Time to Trust God and allow HIM to defeat your carnality. Way too much to ask, I know, but there it is... Jesus IS Already Embarked Upon HIS Return. Christ IS Coming Soon! Maranatha!!! Yep, 2,000 years and waiting. It is a long way for him to travel, apparently, especially if he has already embarked. So if it only took 6 days to create the entire cosmos, a twinkling of an eye for him to go up, I still wonder what's holding him up on the return trip. And then I think mostly, maybe he already came. Or, again, maybe it's really just an inside job...what lives within you...heaven or hell. The latter makes more sense. |

There's NOT just 144K saved. We're in the age of Grace and all who call upon Jesus as their savior WILL be saved. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1037130Jesus Is King! You have clearly not read Revelation, the Old Testament Prophets, or the hundreds of books out there to help you out. That supposed age of Grace has a shelf life. |

This is the opinion of a person who doesn't know the bible. Ignorant in other words. |
