The Bible states, "Those who were saved, were those who were not defiled by woman."?

Question

It's clearly stating that refraining from sex was a key to being saved. However, does this mean, no women were saved? Is it indicating that only the women that didn't have sex with women were saved along with the men that were saved?

Answer 1

The passage you're refering to is from the Book of Revelation (14:1-4) and is speaking of an eschatological time period (the end times). Personally I take the book in a very symbolic and figurative way. And so I take it as refering to the "moral purity" of the 144,000, a select group of witnesses in the end times. Still a very difficult passage to interpret and you ask a very good question. Sorry I can't give you a better answer.

Answer 2

The book of Revelation describes 2 women the woman clothed in light and the scarlet harlot. These 2 women represent churches, the harlot represents apostate religion and the woman clothed in light represents God's church. Those not defiled by woman are not defiled by apostate religion.

Answer 3

Women have the same choices and laws as man if a woman were defiled by their own accord by man they would not be saved. However this also when not married or married and had relationship with someone other than the one they were married too.

Answer 4

No. It is clearly stating that the 144,000 chose to be celebate.

The 144,000 is a subset of all Christians.

It does not say that only 144,000 will be saved.

It says absolutely nothing about what a Christian is, only that these people are also among those who are saved in the end.

Answer 5

In Rev.14:4,5 the fact that the 144,000 "are virgins" does not mean that members of this class are necessarily unmarried in the flesh.The apostle Paul wrote to Christians who had a heavenly calling that,whereas there are advantages to Christian singleness,marriage is preferable under certain circumstances(1Cor.7:1,2)
What characterises this class is spiritual virginity.They have avoided spiritual adultery with worldly politics and false religion(James4:4;Rev.17:5).As the betrothed bride of Christ,they have kept themselves pure "without a blemish in among a crooked and twisted generation."-Phil.2:15.

wheres this verse from hows this they slaughtered with great slaughter even he that pisseth against the wall so we are to kill Dogs to get to the promised land if you chop up the directions to get to california and pass out pieces to twenty families they will all have a bad vacation as they will all be lost ,, context is everything in reading a book or a map which the bible surely is

Answer 7

John 1:12 but as many as got him, to them gave he power to emerge as the sons of God, even to them that feel on his name. Ll Corinthians 5:17 as a consequence if any man be in Christ, he's a brand new creature: old things are handed away; behold, all things are turn out to be new. John 10:28 and that i gave unto them eternal life; and so they shall in no way perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Answer 8

You need to state the Book, Chapter and Verse where you found this so that we can read it in it's full context. There may be something else going on here that we are not aware of.

Answer 9

NO,no,no-that's in Rev. Its talking about the 144000 from the 12 tribes of Israel-it has nothing to do with salvation...this is an end-time event.

Answer 10

So you got your answer from that short sentence. God loves us all whatever you maybe. The bible is a good reference tool for somethings but trying to use it and follow it word for word without putting your own ideas in it is hard to do. Follow your heart and pray to God that you are doing the right thing for yourself and then for him.
