Snappy .. 🙂 We did snappy already.
The children of Jacob, all the 12 tribes were called by name.
If they had just said children of Israel, then you could have speculated using Pauls definition of a Jew is one who is one inwardly and concluded that the 144,000 could be anyone. Not in the this case. They are all natural born Jews.

I've read over the thread a couple of times. It takes some twists and turns.
I am open to hear your belief and to examine the Scriptures like the Bereans who were more noble, to see if these things were so.
But you have to expect that I could possibly point out the reasons to what extent I agree and to what extent I might not.
If you don't want to be grilled perhaps you better not discuss it with me.

Not at all!
I am pointing out that in the past you have sure shown yourself to embrace JW's cherished heresy of denying that Jesus is Jehovah God.
They're repulsed by the teaching of a Trinity. You too. They don't believe that the Word was the same God that He was with. I think you share this polytheistic view of two gods in John 1:1.
They also reject eternal perdition. You do too. You're like them in these ways.
