Jesus is said to have bought us with his blood,

Rev 14:1-3, tells us that 144,000 have be bought from the earth.

Jesus promised the evil doer that he would be in Paradise,

Prov. 2:21,22 & Ps 37:9-11, 29 show that the vast majority will be on earth.

You aren't comprehending what it actually says. Revelation says there will be 144,000 with the mark of God, all male, Jewish virgins. Those people are to witness to the jews, it doesn't say they're the only ones to go to heaven. That would be really stupid, why witness to all those people if they couldn't get into heaven anyway? The whole point is to tell them the truth before its too late, so they can get into heaven.

Gods word said that all have the choice to reject him and perish or except him and recieve eternal life.

The 144 thousand thang your speaking of is in revelation that is how many jews will be sealed with the seal of god during the tribulation

Revelation 7 and 14 reveal that 144 thousand Jewish people will be sealed and protected by God to serve as evangelists during the tribulation: twelve thousand from each of Israel's tribes. Their ministry will be essentially the same as that of the two witnesses: leading Jewish people to faith in their Messiah. Those who believe will in turn reach others--even in the midst of that holocaust! In that way a living remnant will be preserved as a redeemed nation. God assured Israel through Jeremiah, "I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations to which I have driven thee; but I will not make a full end of thee" (46:28).

Though deliverance of Israel will involve the personal salvation of individuals, it will occur on a scale large enough to be termed a national deliverance. The remnant of believing Jews during the tribulation constitute the "all Israel" of Romans 11:26. Thus Israel's hope is that someday its purging will end, the nation will be saved, and the long-awaited messianic Kingdom will be established.

No, those are the 144000 jewish witnesses (12000 of each of the 12 tribes) of the tribes of israel, these guys are the ones who stay on earth for a long time converting and preparing the earth for Jesus' return while the antichrist is in power. Jehovahs witnesses believe that there are only 144000 of them going, not true either.... they had to change their doctrine once their church grew over that number.
We are the multitude that is too many to count

Always read the context around any quotation, and also cross-reference to other passages referring to the same subject. Read the following line, to the effect of "...and many multitudes more..."
Some religions like to quote the 144,000 so they can scare their followers into competing with each other for a spot! The Bible stresses "whosoever".

The 144,000 refers to the 12 tribes of Israel. There will be 12,000 people from each 12 tribes that go to Heaven. That has nothing to do w/ the rest of us. Anyone who believes on Jesus as their Savior and asks him to forgive them for their sins will go to Heaven.

This is from Revelation and those will be the witnesses to the end of time who have remained faithful to God. There will be more people in heaven but not all that many more.

Holy Bible never said that.

Revelation 7:4
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Revelation 7:5
Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

Revelation 7:6
Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

Revelation 7:7
Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.

Revelation 7:8
Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

Revelation 14:1

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

The above cited 12000 X 12 = 140000 are from the different tribes of Israel and not the other people.

The below quoted refer the people were saved from the world.

Revelation 5:11
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

The 144,000 refers to a missionary corps of redeemed Jews who are instrumental in the salvation of many Jews and Gentiles during the Tribulation.
