    Who are the 144,000?

    yes, Jacob the deceiver became the man who strove with God and men and prevailed. This is the story of all of God's people. It is not the story of the physical nation of Israel. National Israel murdered their Messiah and disowned him and continue to disown him. The mantle has now fallen to all...

    Do "good", non-Christians, go to Heaven to be with God when they die or do they remain in the grave awaiting the resurrection?

    All peoples await a resurrection from the dead at their appointed times. The righteous to life when Jesus returns, the wicked after the millennium for judgement. If you would like scripture to support this, let me know.

    Who are the 144,000?

    You say this but do you really think that when Jesus told his parables he was expecting them to be understood as per the normal use of language?.....and his reference to eating his flesh and drinking his blood, is that to be understood as per the normal use of language? I'm sure you get my...

    Is it ok for a man to pray while wearing a head covering? Paul told the Corinthians it was NOT ok.

    People and their practices cross culturally and not exclusive to each other. It is their attitudes across the religious divides which ultimately drives and remains the same.

    Who are the 144,000?

    Mark, there is so much to address here I am apprehensive to even begin an explanation. Why? because I can see you have your view fixed and I have no interest in submitting a presentation which has the likelihood of being dismissed at the front door. Now you can interpret my words in the...

    Who are the 144,000?

    The term 'Israel' is not applied ethnically, it is applied to those who 'struggle with God and prevail' as in Jacobs encounter with his assailant. 'Twelve' is the number of 'all Israel'. Twelve by twelve is a literary device to make sure the point is gotten.....all the 'tribes' from all the...

    Is it ok for a man to pray while wearing a head covering? Paul told the Corinthians it was NOT ok.

    well there yer go! Muslims take their shoes off before entering their mosque, that sounds pretty respectful, particularly for the cleaner. Maybe we could take that feather out of their cap? :)

    The evidence is there Wrangler, you just don't see it.....and I wonder whether you would consider that possibility?

    Is it ok for a man to pray while wearing a head covering? Paul told the Corinthians it was NOT ok.

    Ronald, this is the stuff the religious leaders in Jesus day made a big deal of. Can you think of other religious folk from any religion/ organisation who make a big deal of appearance and clothing? who have strict codes for what constitutes profane and what constitutes holy?.....and we can...

    You can wear slippers if you want to as well.....or even go barefoot as Moses did.

    Who are the 144,000?

    Picking up on the words 'I heard' in Revelation 7:4 and few verses later in 7:9 'I looked', it becomes evident that the 144000 are the same crowd as the great multitude.

    Dress Codes

    High heels are designed to shift how the body aligns upright and thereby accentuating the breasts and the buttocks :) Still in favour of heels?

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    You make statements in this post as well as others I have read of yours which are just not true. Statements asserting what the bible says or what you claim is mentioned all through the bible. Firstly, your self honesty is in on the line. You might be able to snow those who are ignorant about...
