I was watching a show on the History Channel about early Christians. It stated that there were a couple of million of them in the first few centuries. Even if they were off by a lot, surely there were at least 144,000. Where does that leave the doctrine of the remnant that the dubs teach?
I think we are all on the same level with God. Romans 8 vs 14 says,"For all who are led by God's spirit, these are God's sons." And this is the chapter that they use to determine how someone knows they are annointed.
