Look at these verses in Revelation that are in reference to the 144,000.

These two verses go together.
Rev 14:3
And they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders and no one could learn the song except the hundred and fourty four thousand, who have been purchased from the earth"

Revelation 14:4
These are they who have not been defiled with women for they are virgins. They are they who follow the Lamb wherever He may go. These were purchased from among men as Firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

So we see the 1st set of 144,000. The Firstfruits.

NOW.
Revelation 7:4
' And I heard the number of those who were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel."

This second set of 144.000 of the Twelve tribes Sealed. These are the chosen Israelites preserved on earth.

Share a little on this matter. I am particularly interested in the Firstfruit.

Ty so much for sharing

For someone who was born many decades ago it must be hard to understand that gay people are as normal and natural as everybody else. You have probably been taught that there is something wrong with being gay?

He said nothing to refute the sayings of the Church of the Latter Day Saints.

"JOSEPH SMITH
(First Prophet and President and Founder of the Mormon Church)

"Had I anything to do with the ***** , I would confine them by strict law to their own species and put them on a national equalization.'' History of the Church, Volume 5, pages 218 - 219.

JOSEPH FIELDING SMITH
(Tenth Prophet and President of the Mormon Church)

"I would not want you to believe that we bear any animosity toward the *****. "Darkies" are wonderful people, and they have their place in our church."
Look magazine, October 22, 1963, page 79.

"THERE ARE OTHER TEACHINGS OF MORMONISM
which separate it forever from Christianity and the Holy Bible.

Specifically, Mormonism also teaches:

That God the Father has a body of flesh and bones, and was once a sinful man on another planet.

That Jesus Christ Is the brother of Lucifer, the Devil.

I've heard it pronounced both ways. Mainly res-pit as in elder care and respite in the text of rest and relaxtion. Are they 2 different words or the same pronounced depending on where you grew up? We, Southerners are famous for language skills.

We see two things related to this group. We have their " works" and their " Teaching."
There are not many things that the Lord says that He blatantly hates. But to the church in Ephesus He speaks to them concerning their stand against the works of the Nicolaitans. THis kind of behavior displayed by them.

By the time the Epistle was written to the Church in Pergamos.. these works or behavior had turned into a Teaching. What a jump.

Why does the Lord hate the works and teaching of this group in the Church.
The Word Nicolaitans has a lot to understanding why the Lord hates this. What did they do that was so horrible that the Lord hated it.

Ty for any scriptural references to support your answers. May the Word of Christ dwell in us richly.

Studies have shown pretty women receive more aid than plain women in real crime data as well as social science experiments performed. In addition it's obvious here on y/a that avatars with pretty photos also receive more answers.

Aside from natural selection, does God favor beautiful people in the process of survival & evolution?

The article is about Germany's move to ban Scientology. Please read it and share your thoughts.
Why does Germany view the Church of Scientology as an enemy? Do you know exactly what it is about Scientology which is "in direct conflict with the German Constitution?" And how would you feel if Scientology were banned in YOUR country? (please state Country) Is this remind you of another time Germany banned a religion and then systematically tried to elimate an entire race? (Judaism/Jews)

Why do people consider mormonism to be a cult?

I am looking for your opinion.

Some people I have talked to have said that it is because someone else told them it was.

Why do people believe that Mormonism is a cult?

Looking for detailed answers!

I have seen all three of you, and several others, say things to the effect that atheists and people who follow other religions "really know" that Christianity is the "true" religion, and that we say otherwise just to be contrary, or rebellious, or for some other reason.

Do you REALLY believe this? Are you really unable to accept that people don't all think like you do, so we must be lying when we say we don't?

Or is it just a smart-as* remark in the heat of argument, and we shouldn't take it as indicative of how you think?

Seriously. I want to know. Are some Christians actually incapable of understanding that people genuinely think differently than they do?
