>> ...who haven’t defiled themselves with WOMEN!<< I have no idea what you meant by that statement.

I suspected as much.


Revelation 14:1-5
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

The women here are NOT females but are other religions. That they are virgins means they have not been with other religions.

They are saved men and women who have not polluted themselves with the idolatrous and immoral religious system of the great whore of Rev. 17. “I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication”.

They are virgins because they have not been defiled by other religions. NOT because they have not been sexually intimate with earthly women. To think so would require a total misunderstanding of much of the rest of the Bible.

See Paul’s similar comparison in 2 Cor. 11:2 “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”

The Whore is referring to a false religion and refers to religious fornication. Isa 23: Isa 57: Jer 3; Ezek 16; Ezek 20; Ezek 23; Hos 4; Neh 3

The errors in the teachings of the Mormon Church are many and the error of understanding who the 144,000 of the Tribulation period are is one of a very serious nature.
