for disbelief they are cut off
indeed
BUT if they believe he CAN graft THEM IN AGAIN
and it is a good reminder to us grafted in contrary to nature, that we can be broken off also
The 144,000—what a mysterious, unique group of people they are! For centuries, people in and out of God's church have wondered and argued about who they are. However, when we look at what the Bible says about them, their identity becomes clear. The Bible explains itself!
The 144,000 have very special qualities; Revelation 7 and 14 mention them as highly favored of God. They:
Are sealed by an angel of God
Are specially selected from the tribes of Israel
Stand on Mount Zion with "a Lamb"
Have the Father's name written on their foreheads
Sing a new song no one else can sing
Are redeemed from the earth
Are called "virgins"
Are not defiled with women (false churches)
Are considered the firstfruits of God's harvest
Are guileless and without fault
lol well defiled by women isn't a metaphor
that's mroe to the fact they are virgins
and yea the song, the great song
The 144,000 are called "virgins" (Revelation 14:4). Some have seriously thought these are people who never had sexual intercourse! II Corinthians 11:2, however, supplies a more satisfying answer. The Corinthians had come out of as sexually active and perverted a culture as any in history, but Paul says that his goal was to present them "as a chaste virgin to Christ." Ephesians 5:24-26 shows the people of the church, defiled by sin, becoming unspotted, unwrinkled, holy and without blemish. Similarly, using Israel as a type, Ezekiel 16:9 shows Christ cleaning up His bride. Cleansed sinners comprise the 144,000, and they are designated "virgin." There is hope for all of us!
no that commentariat heretic is stretching too far
ur making it something is is not
it*
the 144,000 are virgins, never defiled by women, chaste
to put ur self on a pedestal for a insecurity u have
no, i am telling you what it says
then how can paul present the corinthians as a CHASE virgin to christ
you're trying to make a loophole, but the verse is very water tight
CHASTE*
2 Corinthians 11:2
“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”
lol what?
the nazi scientists
and nasa
Operation paperclip
operation paperclip?
yeah
thanks
that's a heretical commentary
sigh
no way u read it that fast
you don't actualyl need a commentary to understand the Bible, in fact all commentaries are heretical and will make you not understand the Bible
Proverbs 18:13
“He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.”
you can just read Revelation 14:1-5 for yourself, it's very quick very plainly written
i have
and as most if not all things in scripture its NOT in one place either
then you would know what it says
this is the same way cults and false doctrines come about
taking a sliver of the word and building and entire doctrine on it
