1 | muslims - 144,000? | Revelation | userdoe217 | 10664 | ||
I'm sorry but you must be mistaken. Muslims don't believe only 144,000 people are going to heaven. I may be mistaken, but where did you hear this? Thank you. Isa |

2 | muslims - 144,000? | Revelation | Jim Dunne | 10827 | ||
I've had a very interesting, challenging ongoing discussion with a Jehovah's Witness who comes to the house regularly. He's not given up on converting me, and I've not given up on converting him, either! We're able to to be open and cordial in our dialog, which I believe has to be a good thing. Anyway, one day I asked him about the 144,000 issue, because, as has been pointed out elsewhere in the Forum, the Bible says they're going to be male, jewish virgins. I was expecting some kind of obscure explanation to reconcile this with the Witnesses doctrine and membership (they claim over 1,000,000 members worldwide.) What I got stunned me. He was very comfortable with saying he knew he was NOT going to Heaven! I guess almost all the Witnesses believe that they're working to be some of those who remain on "the new Earth " and enjoy life here! They really believe only 144,000 will be allowed to enter Heaven! Amazing - just amazing. Yours in Christ, Jim D. |
