CHRISTIANITY–144,000 VIRGINS & JESUS–
The Biblical Book of Revelation (7:4-8; 14:1-4; Matt. 19:28) states that 144,000 MEN–consisting of 12,000 from each of the Twelve Tribes of Israel– will sit with Jesus in the next life judging the Twelve Tribes of Israel (NOT the whole world, as Jesus was sent only for Jews).
Regarding this 144,000 it is said: “These are they which were not DEFILED WITH WOMEN; for they are VIRGINS. These are they which follow the Lamb (Jesus) whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.”
The Christian critic and apologist suffered tremendous labor pains trying to baptize these literal “VIRGINS” into metaphorical ones.
The 144,000 MEN remained “faithful to Jesus” by being celibates/”virgins” as Jesus was, as the Gospels say. That these are literal “virgins” “not defiled” by literal “women” is substantiated by the Bible itself. Jesus says in Matthew 5:32 that whoever marries a woman that is divorced for other than fornication “commits adultery.”
Thus, woman here, even though she be married to the man “defiles” the man into an adulterer. Paul makes the matter clearer, he states that, but for avoiding “fornication,” “It is GOOD for a man NOT to touch a woman.”1 Why not? Because “He that is UNMARRIED careth for the things that belong to the LORD, how he may please the LORD: But he that is MARRIED careth for the things that are of the WORLD, how he may please his WIFE.”2
In other words, when a man takes a wife his caring for God is compromised by his caring for his wife –or she “defiles” him or causes him to be “defiled.”
Further, Paul declares that as the wife has no power over her own body but the husband has power over her: “likewise also the husband hath NOT POWER of his won body, but the WIFE (has power of him).”3 These Biblical teachings show that sexual contact with a woman “defiles” the man spiritually; and no amount of the Christian apologist’s literary gymnastics can flip this fact over.
These 144,000 “virgins” are physical “virgins” who were ”not defiled” by physical “women,” and as they were not married, and therefore had no “wifely” constraints, they devoted their entire life to the pursuit of the spiritual and were the true followers of Jesus who, as the Gospels show, lived a life of celibacy. The Good News Bible understands this and states: “The 144,000 people stood before the throne….They are the men who have kept themselves pure by NOT having SEXUAL RELATIONS with WOMEN; they are VIRGINS.” And the Gideons concur: “These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they are CELIBATES.”
Even if these “virgins” and ‘women” were figurative yet this would not make Jesus God, son of God; trinity, or vicarious atoner or that mankind inherited sin.
These cardinal doctrines of Christianity have no Divine foundation, no prophetic foundation, no logical foundation and are repugnant to reason; Christians lie on God they lie on Jesus they blame the Devil.
The Divine truth is, Jesus was a prophet sent only for Jews and commanded them to follow the Comforter (Mohammad) who will guide into “all truth” and abide “forever;” and “There is no God but Allāh, Mohammad is the Messenger of Allāh!”
As noted, the Bible says that the 144,000 who will be with Jesus are all MEN –NO WOMEN!– and consisting of 12,000 from each of the Twelve Tribes of Israel –NON-JEWS note well, you are NOTincluded! And that these MEN “were not DEFILED WITH WOMEN; for they are VIRGINS;” who follow Jesus and were redeemed from among MEN.
What about the “virgin” WOMEN (the nuns and even others) are they also not followers of God and Jesus? (Mother Theresa seems deserving of a spot with Jesus).
If men are “defiled” by women through sex, are women not likewise “defiled” by men through sex? And can women also not be redeemed from the earth? These are questions for all Christian women to ponder. (See Christianity-Women).
The teaching that women are defilers of men, coupled with the other Biblical gems that she shall be ruled over by her husband and is to learn in silence and subjection, plus the vile doctrine of inherited sin –“Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, was in the transgression”– put all the human sufferings at her feet. no wonder then that Christian Fathers pinned onto the Christian woman the inglorious badges of “the devil’s gateway,” “the unsealer of that tree;” “the first deserter of the Divine Law;” who “destroyed as easily God’s image;” “the organ of the devil,” “a scorpion ever ready to sting,” “the poisonous asp,” and “the malice of the dragon.” (See Christianity-Women).
