@plantermoo saidInteresting how you seem to know a lot about my posting here over the last few years, but can’t remember a post I made directly to you a couple of hours ago 😄
Well type it here, jocko.
Do you expect me to search hither and yon for your little pearl of wisdom?

@plantermoo saidJesus instructed to 'go and sin no more.' He didn't say go forth and sin a little bit and feel free to consciously stumble when the mood takes you.
You think Christians only act as they do out of a fear of losing their salvation? Christianity’s about a relationship between a believer and Jesus Christ and, as such, believers want to do what pleases Him, though occasionally they will stumble.
Do you have carte blanche to tell lies to people you love and who love you? Why not?
You have had the opportunity to speak truthfully about your previous banned accounts and yet have freely chosen (repeatedly) to lie about it. That's fine, if you are a liar, but don't go waving the Christian flag about.
Either you have been transformed by the holy spirit or you haven't. To say (as you have done more than once) that the transformation is a gradual thing is a cop-out. Your God has made crystal clear how he views liars.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidIf you knew the Bible, you would know that the Apostle Paul, who wrote most of the New Testament, spoke of the struggle between the Spirit and the flesh in Galatians, and, in Romans 7, how he did what he didn’t want to do and didn’t do what he wanted to do.

And the process of sanctification in a Christian’s life is indeed gradual.
Sinning no more is obviously the ideal but you’re neglecting the first part of that statement - “Neither do I condemn you.”
Check Romans 8:1.

@plantermoo saidYou are not struggling to tell the truth in a life-or-death situation. This is an online chess site where you are casually lying about who you are. It is your casual relationship with honesty that is at odds with the Christian faith.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWhy don’t you quote the post in which you think I lied?

@plantermoo saidYou have repeatedly denied that you are the past poster who has been banned from this site, saying posters have the wrong person. This is a blatant and obvious lie. In the near future Russ will ban this current account you are using and once again you will be the lying, sad, person kicked off the site.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou accused me of lying and can’t provide the evidence.

Maybe it’s you who was lying, Ghost of a Deuce.

Whoosh!
She’s calling you out for your half-a-dozen or more previously banned accounts where you also happen to have made the same argument.
The underlying message being that you’re a multiple times returning banned poster.
You replied:
"I’m flattered that she thinks I’m someone else whom she apparently was quite fond of"

@PlanterMoo
As a previous poster, banned by Russ for malicious trolling on more than one occasion, why do you keep returning like a lost puppy?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidThat’s the best you’ve got? All those accusations of me lying and that’s what you come up with?

Another pratfall by the Deucer.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou’re obsessed with me. I’m flattered but I don’t swing both ways nor do I enjoy the company of dullards.

@plantermoo saidYou've returned to the site repeatedly after being banned for trolling.

I think you have obsession sewn up.
Edit: I also think you know your time is drawing to a close.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou can’t win in an argument with me, Deucer, but I give you a C+ for effort.

See ya. PlanterMoo’s headin’ out 👍👍
@ghost-of-a-duke saidIf he believes it is okay to lie, he is mistaken.
Sure, but a wilful lie is unchristian, right?
PlanterMoo believes the new covenant has given him carte blanche to tell lies, that only the OT forbid being a liar. You agree with that?
