God is ALL intellect. The worldly 'intellect' is neither wise nor intellectual. The gift of God will be all things to include intellect which is far and beyond this worldly context.
@@jeremiahbond2810 The problem with our intellect is that due to our fallen nature, it has sunk into the heart where it blinds the nous.

@@ChristianHagood the Bible is very specific and not symbolic in this context. The Bible refers cities 144,000 men as virgins since they "have not defiled themselves with women". It literally says 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. Literally 144,000 Jewish male virgins.
The HOLY BIBLE IS WRITTEN IN A SPECIFIC TERMS, ITS NOT A NO OTHER INTERPRETATION IT IS VERY CLEAR WHAT IT IS WRITTEN. 144,000 ARE JEWISH MEN. THAT WILL SPEAK OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGHOUT THE WORLD DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION. IT IS NOT THE CHURCH THE CHURCH IS GONE TAKEN OUT NOT FACING TRIALS FOR THE TEMPTATION OF THE TRIBULATION OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WILL COME BACK TO TAKE HIS CHURCH OUT JUST AS HE PROMISED
With all your respect father, but the church is not Israel. That is replacement Theology That will make God a liar, the prophets Paul and Yeshua himself affirmed that Israel still the people of God. Yeshua (Jesus, never ceased to be a Jew and he is coming back as a Jew...
Yeah. I know you are intoxicated with Israel; but the truth is at the door; the tribulation looming. O.T. believing Jews are part in the Israel of God; believing gentiles are a part in the Israel of God. Unbelieving Jews were taken out of the Israel of God. God can graft them back; if they continue not in unbelief; if God spared not unbelieving Jews, take heed, lest He spare not thee. There is ONE BODY, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. O N E. Stop. saying. there. are. 2. God is not pleased with unbelieving fableland. I am a Baptist.
Replacement theology says Israel was God’s people in the OT, and the Church is His people in the NT. That is not the Orthodox position whatsoever. As I understand it they teach that there is an unbroken continuity, that God created His covenant with the people of Israel and that in the law He gave them they could be cut off from Israel (not in covenant just for being sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by birth) and that gentiles could be brought into the covenant (although with some restriction at the time), and likewise that in the New Testament God made a new covenant with His people Israel that many of them rejected and were likewise cut off from due to unbelief and many gentiles were grafted in due to their faith, all of which seems to be what the Apostle Paul belabors to explain again and again.
@@littlefishbigmountain I appreciate you love for the Lord, and for the things of the Lord. I don't know how them of the O.T. got saved. I believe it is not possible to be saved other than being in Jesus, and Him being in you. How did that happen in the O.T.? I personallly would say they were united with Him when He went down at His death and preached to the prisoners. No Jew will be saved by virtue of being flesh seed of Abraham; nor by keeping the law. The offer of being in bond with Jesus, was first given to the Jews; a Jew in bond with Jesus, will continue being with Him in heaven. Jew not in bond, won't be with Him; won't be in heaven. We're not going to be raptured before the tribulation; let's do as Thomas said: "come on, let's go and die with Him." In the end he did go down that road. Let's go. God bless.
Christ appeared to me in my home in the Spring of 2010. He spoke to me audibly and through visions, many times over a period of 7 weeks. Listen to me carefully. There are no symbolic numbers in the bible. The 7 Seals are actually 7 in number. The two witnesses are two in number. The 5 months in Revelation are 5 in number. And the 144,000 are 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. Those who want to be smarter than God and change his words will have to endure severe chastisement. By the way, there were literally 7 churches in Asia Minor and the 7 letters of rebuke to them are recorded for you to read in order to heed them.
*No human is saved, as their father is The DEVIL... But instead It involves The SOUL... The human body is CHANGED, in The Twinkling of an eye ! From "1st Corinthians", in Chapter 15, Quote; 50. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption... 51. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed... 53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality... 54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory...*
ew. Gnosticism. God created the human physical body and called it good. What this passage you quoted is speaking to is our corrupted physical bodies being made into incorruptible physical bodies. Man has always been and always will be an imbodied creature. Jesus demonstrates this when he returns to earth after his crucifixion in his perfected body and shows it is still physical by eating and drinking physical food as well as having the disciples feel his physical wounds. The father of mankind is the Trinity.
This guy is beating around the bush because he cannot stomach the truth of PRETIRB/MIDTRIB rapture. The 144:000 are literal descendants of the tribes of Israel (Revelation 7:4) who will resist the Antichrist in tribulation and be killed (Revelaiton 13:7). This tribulation-wrath (Daniel 9:27+2thessalonians 2:3-4) will begin AFTER rapture (1 thessalonians 4:17) - when the Christians have departed (Daniel 9:26+Romans 11:26).
I know you're going to trust God; you're going to show your faith; you believe just like it said: 12000 from ea tribe!! you're gentle as dove, - in pink fairyland! - but your forgot the part about wise as doves.
The God says, Amos 5:25-26: "Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves." Hebrew pagans still using some star... Malachi 4: 4-6: "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." As we know, John the baptist (Elijah the prophet, Mathew 11: 12-14) was murdered during Herod's "birthday" celebration. These are his words, Mathew 3:7-10: "But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire." Christ-Messiah was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clirgy. Then the betrayer, Israel by flesh, was destroyed for his sins. Novadays "christians" are happy to have friends among Christ's persecutors. They love to visit temples of cursed land. The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why herods and hitlers feel good while Christ is persecuted. "Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation". This is the name of Christ real christians are hated for. "HalleluJah" means "Praze Jah" (Jehovah). Psalm 83: 18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." But, hipocrites doesn't want to know this. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
*From "The Gospel [ ACCORDING TO ] John", in chapter 8, verses 43 to 46, Quote; 43. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.... 44. Ye are of your father the DEVIL, and the lusts of your father ye will do... He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it... 45. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not... 46. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? End Quote...*

Do you mean that it is not explicitly "condemned" in the text of the scriptures, or that it is actually included in the canonical books of Scripture, and thus not condemned?

Heretical (these are those books which are better off burnt, things like the Gnostic "Gospels")
The criteria that go into the determining of the Canon are patristic witness, the type of book that is being considered (whether it be instructional, as in the case of the Didache, or poetic, or some other type), authorship, historicity (in terms of the books own accuracy), and the attestation of the tradition of the Church (i.e. has this been handed down to us as part of the lectionary by the Fathers of the ancient church?)

I don't like when people try to make everything symbolical but when it comes to the 144000 I believe it's the church.

Brother, the KJV doesn't miss what you claim. Do you even read it to confirm what you are saying is accurate? That's a shame on you for misleading. James did not write it, he commissioned the translation. James was a man, not good. Name one good man. King Solomon, in his later life turned to many unspeakable things. Do you not read proverbs?
A bunch of fun loving good hesrted people who have been tested by fire many times and rejected and hated by society even though they're here to help everyone
His monks man and women who never have sex.who are true Christians Saints
Praise the king of Glory 144,000 were the first fruits of Israel even the creation killed murdered,by Herod the Romans and their own people,even the impostors in the temple gave the soldiers the name of 144 000 12 tribes,Judah to Benjamin,them been registered at circumcism.then given over and murdered for the Living Word of GOD .they were also Christs body from the foundation,the church of the first born from the beginning
I will give you a clue. The number 144 is a Fibonacci sequence number. I will give you another clue. The clue is found in the name FREE MASON.
Whos don't sin with woman
No, it's 144,000. It is as it is written.
False. this number is used many places in the Bible and it is always symbolic.
@@ChristianHagood the Bible is very specific and not symbolic in this context. The Bible refers cities 144,000 men as virgins since they "have not defiled themselves with women".
It literally says 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel.
Literally 144,000 Jewish male virgins.
The HOLY BIBLE IS WRITTEN IN A SPECIFIC TERMS, ITS NOT A NO OTHER INTERPRETATION IT IS VERY CLEAR WHAT IT IS WRITTEN. 144,000 ARE JEWISH MEN. THAT WILL SPEAK OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGHOUT THE WORLD DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION. IT IS NOT THE CHURCH THE CHURCH IS GONE TAKEN OUT NOT FACING TRIALS FOR THE TEMPTATION OF THE TRIBULATION OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WILL COME BACK TO TAKE HIS CHURCH OUT JUST AS HE PROMISED
Have two Christians in a room and you'll have a hundred and forty four thousand opinions.
The Jehovas witness
With all your respect father, but the church is not Israel.
That is replacement Theology
That will make God a liar, the prophets Paul and Yeshua himself affirmed that Israel still the people of God.
Yeshua (Jesus, never ceased to be a Jew and he is coming back as a Jew...
Really dumb
Yeah. I know you are intoxicated with Israel; but the truth is at the door; the tribulation looming.
O.T. believing Jews are part in the Israel of God; believing gentiles are a part in the Israel of God. Unbelieving Jews were taken out of the Israel of God. God can graft them back; if they continue not in unbelief; if God spared not unbelieving Jews, take heed, lest He spare not thee.
There is ONE BODY, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
O N E.
Stop. saying. there. are. 2. God is not pleased with unbelieving fableland.
I am a Baptist.
Replacement theology says Israel was God’s people in the OT, and the Church is His people in the NT. That is not the Orthodox position whatsoever.
As I understand it they teach that there is an unbroken continuity, that God created His covenant with the people of Israel and that in the law He gave them they could be cut off from Israel (not in covenant just for being sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by birth) and that gentiles could be brought into the covenant (although with some restriction at the time), and likewise that in the New Testament God made a new covenant with His people Israel that many of them rejected and were likewise cut off from due to unbelief and many gentiles were grafted in due to their faith, all of which seems to be what the Apostle Paul belabors to explain again and again.
@@littlefishbigmountain I appreciate you love for the Lord, and for the things of the Lord.
I don't know how them of the O.T. got saved. I believe it is not possible to be saved other than being in Jesus, and Him being in you. How did that happen in the O.T.? I personallly would say they were united with Him when He went down at His death and preached to the prisoners. No Jew will be saved by virtue of being flesh seed of Abraham; nor by keeping the law. The offer of being in bond with Jesus, was first given to the Jews; a Jew in bond with Jesus, will continue being with Him in heaven. Jew not in bond, won't be with Him; won't be in heaven.
We're not going to be raptured before the tribulation; let's do as Thomas said: "come on, let's go and die with Him." In the end he did go down that road. Let's go. God bless.
You are denying the scriptures
Christ appeared to me in my home in the Spring of 2010. He spoke to me audibly and through visions, many times over a period of 7 weeks. Listen to me carefully. There are no symbolic numbers in the bible. The 7 Seals are actually 7 in number. The two witnesses are two in number. The 5 months in Revelation are 5 in number. And the 144,000 are 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. Those who want to be smarter than God and change his words will have to endure severe chastisement. By the way, there were literally 7 churches in Asia Minor and the 7 letters of rebuke to them are recorded for you to read in order to heed them.
I had a series of dreams where I was flying like a bird 👍
lol. take your meds peter.
This is called psychosis, please see a doctor.
So you believe there's a beast with 7 heads somewhere? That Christ has 7 horns and 7 eyes?

*No human is saved, as their father is The DEVIL... But instead It involves The SOUL... The human body is CHANGED, in The Twinkling of an eye ! From "1st Corinthians", in Chapter 15, Quote; 50. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption... 51. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed... 53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality... 54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory...*
ew. Gnosticism. God created the human physical body and called it good. What this passage you quoted is speaking to is our corrupted physical bodies being made into incorruptible physical bodies. Man has always been and always will be an imbodied creature. Jesus demonstrates this when he returns to earth after his crucifixion in his perfected body and shows it is still physical by eating and drinking physical food as well as having the disciples feel his physical wounds. The father of mankind is the Trinity.
This guy is beating around the bush because he cannot stomach the truth of PRETIRB/MIDTRIB rapture.
The 144:000 are literal descendants of the tribes of Israel (Revelation 7:4) who will resist the Antichrist in tribulation and be killed (Revelaiton 13:7).
This tribulation-wrath (Daniel 9:27+2thessalonians 2:3-4) will begin AFTER rapture (1 thessalonians 4:17) - when the Christians have departed (Daniel 9:26+Romans 11:26).
You mean transfigured. I don't like using the word Rapture since it can confuse others.
I know you're going to trust God; you're going to show your faith; you believe just like it said: 12000 from ea tribe!! you're gentle as dove, - in pink fairyland! - but your forgot the part about wise as doves.
The Christian Church & The Jewish People. Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior never divorced 2 Tribes. And that’s the Jews in Israel 🇮🇱, plus world wide.
The God says,
Amos 5:25-26: "Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves."
Hebrew pagans still using some star...
Malachi 4: 4-6: "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."
As we know, John the baptist (Elijah the prophet, Mathew 11: 12-14) was murdered during Herod's "birthday" celebration.
These are his words, Mathew 3:7-10: "But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."
Christ-Messiah was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clirgy.
Then the betrayer, Israel by flesh, was destroyed for his sins.
Novadays "christians" are happy to have friends among Christ's persecutors. They love to visit temples of cursed land.
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why herods and hitlers feel good while Christ is persecuted.
"Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation". This is the name of Christ real christians are hated for.
"HalleluJah" means "Praze Jah" (Jehovah).
Psalm 83: 18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."
But, hipocrites doesn't want to know this.
That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom.
Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
*From "The Gospel [ ACCORDING TO ] John", in chapter 8, verses 43 to 46, Quote; 43. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.... 44. Ye are of your father the DEVIL, and the lusts of your father ye will do... He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it... 45. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not... 46. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? End Quote...*
You understand he is speaking to certain people, he isnt making a broad sweeping statement about all of mankind. Many times throughout the Bible God is referred to as our father.
144,000 = 9,000 = 999 = 666
how?
How did you deduce this???
but...999 isnt the same number as 666
@@ChristianHagood Basically 9 and 6 are the same number just in different places and they are related to number 3. Number 7 is a day of rest. Greetings from Serbia.
