The Bible says 144,000 will enter Heaven to help rule. Rule what? The new Heaven and new Earth as written in Revelation. Its right there in black and white. People will live in "everlasting life" on a "paradise earth".

Christians are also called citizens of heaven.

Last time I checked, the Bible was a fairly large book, with many words. Could you please supply the chapter and verse where this is specified?

I've always believed that those who gets to go to Heaven are the ones who have accepted Christ as their saviours and them having repent for our sins and that God loves each and every one of us unconditionally.
No, this is false! It is refering to the tribes of Israel. It is not a fixed number on those who are saved. This is why the Mormon church is based on a false interpretation.

It did say it has 40 rooms. So if you pack at least 3,600 per room.
it could hold all 144,000 .

Good point. LOL

Well, if you're gonna believe in fairy tales, ya might as well make up arbitrary numbers to go along with it.

As to the question, let's put it this way: should that be true, then all the debating about heaven is probably wasted.

As to the comment, since I happen not to be a Christian, for some strange reason I resent the implication that heaven is being reserved for them.
