I guess only 144,000 Jews are going to heaven. Explain that.

This verse is often the source of many debates between Jehovah's Witnesses and Christians today.
The 144,000 names that are said to be there do not represent the population of Earth. Basically, not only 144,000 people can make it to Heaven.
If you read the book of Romans, it says that:
Chapter 10; Verse 9 - "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. "
The blood that was shed from Jesus Christ gave us ALL a way to be saved and gave us all a ticket to Heaven IF we will follow what Romans 10:9 says.
So my point is this. If you would accept Christ in your heart, repent of your sins and turn from your ways then you will be saved. If you will trust Christ and allow Him to live through you, then you will be saved.
Not sure if you get this. If you don't, then let me know
