Lazy about reading posts. Lazy about writing them. Lazy about fact checking. Lazy about sourcing images.

No zeal for repentance either, I see.

For someone who seems to be more interested in debating for its own sake than finding the truth, you sure make it easy to win the argument.

If you put half the effort into correcting yourself that you put into trying to debate someone, you might avoid lots of tragedy and pain in your future.

When it comes, and it will, perhaps you will have the presence of mind to recall my warning to you. And then it may occur to you to heed the message and address the real problem you have.

I’ll pray that is the case. But you will have to go through some pain to learn not to blaspheme God’s Word.

And I’ll use the NKJV, with its less offensive language for the modern English speaker, to provide a Biblical reference here:

Hebrews 12:5-11
And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:
“My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
For whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”
If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

May the Lord honor His Word.

I don't know if you realize how unhinged you appear to people. But to sit there with your sanctimonious attitude pretending to be some holier than thou person when really you are filled with nothing more than fear and loathing is beyond ridiculous.

You know, as well as I do or as well as anyone with half a brain that if you were to answer my question honestly, your whole doctrine would fall to pieces. That is why you refuse to answer the question, not for the reasons you gave, which by the way makes you a liar.

No one in their right mind would sit there and claim to have won an argument when they know that in order to do so, they must first be willing to defend their side of the argument. Your to want to declare victory in a battle that you haven't even begun to fight. I would suggest you get back to your video games, I'm sure that with all the cheat codes you have you win all those battles.
