Perhaps you can answer what JW Sinner James can't?

Why is sin a lie?




Michael Christ

--
Jesus is the everlasting Father, Jesus is God, Jesus is the Lord.

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
YET sinners, Christ died for us.

Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it
is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Psalms 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt
are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that
hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance of God."

"All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving
God with all their heart, soul, and mind. An abomination. Therefore,
sin is not what you do; it is what you are."

"Compromise will condemn you."

"There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

"My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."

"You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to
know that?"

"The way of truth is the testimony of life."

"I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall
where God intends."

"Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."

"You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all
live, by faith."

"It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."

"Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look
ahead."

"You cannot be free and free indeed with guilt in your heart."

"Priority is everything."

"The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."

"There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander
it or to place it where it truly belongs."

"An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."

"Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to
an ignorant straw man."

"Wait, rest, be still, and know."

"No man can wash his own hands!!!"

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."

The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"

"The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."

"Man is not the centre of being."

"Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."

"And then the Lord said, "I see everything."

"Man has no greater idol than his own will."

"Where is God hiding? He isn't."

"If you don't keep all the scriptures, you can't keep any of them."

"You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's
willingness to believe."

"Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,
and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."

"The last day of creation will be the last day of time. God is always
full of hope."

"The veil of the temple was rent in twain, not to have a book pass
through it so that you could play God."

"A phylactery does not a heart for God make. Not back then, and not today."

"No one in heaven is better (or higher) than what makes it heaven. Such
is the love of God."

"The definition of an atheist: A man full of bluster and bullshit
pretending he is the meaning of life."

"Free will is not power; it is the choice that I allow; that choice is
still according to my power," says the Lord.

What does a fool do? A fool looks for a "nothing" in a "something" in
order to explain the existence of existence.

"Unless you do all because He is who He is, all your religion is in vain."

"Every man is subject to God; He judges every man, and He is reality.
 What a gift in a fallen world!"

"Love MUST be a choice or it is nothing but a law!"

"Why were all men born sinners? So that God could reveal Himself, so
that we would behold the glory of God, and that we should bring forth
the glory of God"

"God does not and will not arbitrate for any man to love Him! If God
isn't everything to you, He is nothing to you where the rubber meets the
road."

"It is the unforgivable sin not to love God with all your heart, soul,
and mind, because what do you have that is lasting? It is not so much
being punished, it is what you are left with."

"Love isn't worth anything without first a free will choice for God to
birth it in a man."

"The point of salvation: desperation. Anything less than that is
self-righteousness."

"A sinner is not a believer in God, a sinner is a believer in sin."

"A piece of dirt is not the promised land; that is only a reflection.
The promised land is knowing Me, says the Lord."

"It is all about God or it is all about idolatry."

"The Lord Jesus is coming soon. He has always come soon."

"There is no revolving door of self-worship in a son of God's life!"

"There is no such thing as random!"

It's not 1444k (1 million, 444 thousand), but is 144k (144 thousand).

Here is what John writes: Rev 7:4-8,

"4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000, sealed
out of every tribe of the sons of Israel:

5 Out of the tribe of Judah 12,000 sealed;
out of the tribe of Reu´ben 12,000;
out of the tribe of Gad 12,000;
6 out of the tribe of Ash´er 12,000;
out of the tribe of Naph´ta·li 12,000;
out of the tribe of Ma·nas´seh 12,000;
7 out of the tribe of Sim´e·on 12,000;
out of the tribe of Le´vi 12,000;
out of the tribe of Is´sa·char 12,000;
8 out of the tribe of Zeb´u·lun 12,000;
out of the tribe of Joseph 12,000;
out of the tribe of Benjamin 12,000 sealed." (NWT)

Also, Rev 14:1,

"(Revelation 14:1) Then I saw, and look! the Lamb standing on Mount
Zion, and with him 144,000 who have his name and the name of his
Father written on their foreheads." (NWT)

These cannot be the tribes of natural Israel because there never was a
tribe of Joseph, the tribes of Ephraim and Dan are not included in the
list here, and the Levites were set aside for service in connection
with the temple but were not reckoned as one of the 12 tribes. (See
Numbers 1:4-16.)

So who do they represent? Romans 2:28,29 talks about "spiritual" Jews.
"He is not a Jew who is one on the outside, nor is circumcision that
which is on the outside upon the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one on
the inside, and his circumcision is that of the heart by spirit, and
not by a written code."

Thus the reference in Revelation here is not to literals Jews, but
spiritual Jews.

For servant's readers.

There is no 1444k in Rev. But somewhat similar is Rev 7:4 and 14:1.
There are your details.

To servant's readers.

Recall I already answered you in another posting. And recall that Rev
doesn't have a 1444k number.

I can only tell you what the Bible says about them:

(Revelation 14:1) Then I saw, and look! the Lamb standing on Mount
Zion, and with him 144,000 who have his name and the name of his
Father written on their foreheads.

(Revelation 7:4) And I heard the number of those who were sealed,
144,000, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel:

(Da 7:18) But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the
kingship, to possess it forever and ever." (NAB)

(7:21,22) 21 For, as I watched, that horn made war against the holy
ones and was victorious
22. until the Ancient One arrived; judgment was pronounced in favor
of the holy ones of the Most High, and the time came when the holy
ones possessed the kingdom. (NAB)

(Dan 7:27) Then the kingship and dominion and majesty of all the
kingdoms under the heavens shall be given to the holy people of the
Most High, Whose kingdom shall be everlasting: all dominions shall
serve and obey him. (NAB)

Since the kingship originates from Heaven, that group will have a
heavenly existence. But ONLY that group. (see below)

What will they do there in Heaven? Notice:

(Revelation 20:6) Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first
resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they
will be priests of God and of the Christ, and they will rule as kings
with him for the 1,000 years.

Thus they will be co-rulers with Jesus in Heaven for the 1000 years.
But if they are rulers, there must be people to rule over.
Those would have to be the rest of mankind living on earth. Jesus
refers to them as a symbolic group.

They are also referred to as "first fruits". Re 14:4,

"These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they
have kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb
wherever He goes. These have been purchased from among men as first
fruits to God and to the Lamb." (NASB)

The first fruits of any crop are only a small amount of that crop.
Thus the associate rulers of Jesus would be a smaller amount than the
general population.

Jesus referred to these two groups of people (those going to Heaven
forever and those living on earth forever) at John 10:11-16. Notice
verses 11-15 are talking about Jesus' sheep. (He refers to this same
group of sheep again at Luke 12:32 as a "little flock" who gets the
"kingdom")

Then in verse 16 he talks about another group of sheep which are NOT
of the "fold" of 11-15. But these also are accepted by Jesus so that
he will be the "one shepherd" over both of them. (verse 16) Who
compose this 2nd group of sheep?

Those will be the "meek" ones who inherit the earth:

-- King James
Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

So to summarize:

The 144,000 are referred to as "sheep" and a "little flock" They will
rule over mankind who lives on earth.

Those living on earth are refereed to as a "great crowd" (Rev 7:4) and
as "other sheep"

Remember, God made the earth to be INHABITED. Isa 45:18,

For this is what Jehovah says,
The Creator of the heavens, the true God,
The One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it,
Who did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be
inhabited:
的 am Jehovah, and there is no one else.

Sincerely James,
Why do people do
so much despising?
