Friend, God also creates evil:
Isaiah 45:7:
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
According to your logic, this would imply that evil is therefore "perfect" as well.

4And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
9After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
So these verses are talking about a sealed number. ( verse 4)
But in verse 9 there is another group which is larger and that does not have a specific number attached to it. But is much larger than the sealed group.
So there is 2 distinct groups here.

Friend, how do you know the "seal of the Holy Spirit" Paul speaks of is the same as the "seal on the foreheads" of the 144.000?
Anyway, does this mean that you accept that Salvation™ is something we will not lose anymore, once we've attained it?
