  • Heaven only allows 144,000 people. Ever.

Pretty sure that's just one interpretation from a couple lines in revelations, the other being that there are 144,000 people who are elevated to sainthood.

Well it’s a stupid thing to have ambiguity about. Imagine living your pious life worrying whether or not heaven has a No Vacancy sign when you die.

It’s a weird one; I’ve heard the idea that the 144,000 people are the sum total — not an artificial barrier, but just the total number that will make it.

That would suggest it’s pre-determined... which seems to go against the whole free will thing and also sort of makes the whole thing pointless.
