Cut the religious claptrap jargon.
God doesn't 'try' to save anyone.
Christians believe He has already done so.
The rest is up to us: whether we acceopt or reject His salvation through Christ, God Incarnate, on the Cross, is up to us.
That's basic Christian theology 101, NM.
I realise non-believers don't accept this - that's their choice, but for the Christian, salvation is guaranteed.
Stop the misinterpreting of Revelation - it doesn't work, and, quite frankly, it is a detraction from anything positive in the faith.

It's all in the Holy Bible. There is only one righteous truth but I'm afraid you have one of those many faulty versions. Read it as if Jesus is telling absolute truth. Don't put your own interpretations above Jesus' word...and certainly don't take the word of others who have very little understanding on the power of prayer and righteous truth. When I'm ready I will reveal this power of prayer and show how it all unifies into a wonderful righteous science where Almighty God states clearly of Jesus, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom, I am well pleased'. Notice the 'I am' here.

Oh, I have umpteen versions, NM - all verified by scholars steeped in Hebrew, Armaic and Greek - all ACCURATE as far as the extant MSS we have.
The New World mistranslation, whose creators have no credentials or qualification inlinguistics, is not one of them.

Righteousness is God's language...it's written into every version of the Holy Bible. It is a way of thinking, a way of behaving, a way of understanding meekness, and a way of becoming as one with our health. The living cell replicates according to our genetic health and our genetic health is controlled by our spiritual health and we must get it right. If we do get it right, as Jesus taught us then we also have a spiritual body that is indestructible and then, even if we die we have rebirth to a new healthy body befitting our level of righteousness. But you must read from meekness and righteous good will else it just doesn't work. Alternatively, we can just wait in the ether until the resurrection because our righteousness isn't quite right.

Just to note you back to blaming children who die of lymphoma. You aren't meek or righteous. Your post is disgusting and vile.

Just going back to that selfsame post...in which I was accused of talking about lymphoma problems in children...I pointed out that I had not mentioned it at all. I have from the outset tried to explain that stale lymph is a problem for everyone and that I had a valid explanation for it. Someone suggested that lymphoma was a huge problem in children because I said that children, generally are healthy and don't suffer these problems but had plenty of energy to spare, unlike adults and that we must be doing something wrong to get into our unhealthy genetic states...pressed further I said that children who are ill at a very early age must get it from their genetics...from their parents...this is a DNA proven fact in many cases. I have exonerated myself completely from that ill founded and false accusation...but atheists often dont like the truth where Jesus Christ is concerned.

It doesn't matter that you didn't raise it first. It's your reply and general position that disease is a moral failing. Your ignorance of science would be laughable were it not fot the moral vacuum that is at your heart.  You post sickening nonsense.

Explaining things that have no understanding from your very best understanders isn't a crime. Atheists might resent it because a science can be extracted from the Holy Bible but that isn't my fault. Stale lymph blocks up our joints, our lungs, and many other parts of our body. Something nasty blocks our minds in dementia and finding out that Jesus Christ had laid a scientific track to help the repentant find a solution shouldn't be kept quiet because a few atheists don't like it.

     You know, NM, your reply shows that you DON'T understand the New Testament.
You DO know that it was set down in Koine Greek deliberately - the writers chose Koine, the 'familiar' or 'street' Greek, rather than the more formal style so that they could ditch the religious jargon which, far from bringing folk to faith, was a turn off?
That's why I eschew such jargon - I could go into theology mode, but that language bores the pants off me and solves nothing.
Why don't you use a reliable, modern version of Scripture, and ditch the religious gobbledygook, communicating in ordinary terms which won't sound so esoteric?

I think that NM's ramblings have little to do with any translation of the Bible, even the New World 'translation' which he seems to hold in high esteem.
You won't find references to 'stale lymph' there, or 'righteousness' having some direct relation to our physical health (what you might  find in any translation, pace the Book of Job, is that 'righteous' people  get given a hell of a time).
That being said, if our Nick is concerned about being 'accurate', he'd do well to avoid the New World Translation like the plague.

Since he's now banned, I don't know if he can access the forum, and, since I don't haunt any others apart from Facebook, I doubt I'll have the chance to debate - if that's the apropriate term - with him.
