Joe, sooner or later site forum moderation admin will intervene to curb inappropriate behavior which lessens participation.

I have already posted my answer several times. If you really want the answer check back on this forum as well as the Chess Forum. But this type of ad hominem attack doesn't really discredit the truth of the existence of God and His creation no matter how many lies and how dishonest I might have been in the past, because the truth of creation does not stand or fall on my testimony.
You have been accused of cheating here for several years by many of the chess experts, while at the same time you express your extreme views about Christianity in a forceful but largely unedifying way.
I'm not asking you to prove anything here, just as a matter of honesty to state unequivocally here and now before Christ whether of not you have used illegal mechanisms of any sort during you time at RHP?
It's a yes or no, but with your hand on the holy bible.
Originally posted by RJHindsThis is where we disagree, and where I disagree with many of the Christians here about their horrible beliefs about God.

I think you do discredit the Gospel with your "lies and dishonesty" (as you call it here) and hiding behind a flippant statement that God can defend himself does not excuse you.
Originally posted by SuzianneJosephw seems to be of the opinion that because someone says they are a Christian, then they are somehow immune from criticism by other Christians.
He was obviously talking to divegeester. Don't you follow this forum at all, or not remember what you've read previously? He's taken dive to task for bashing Christians before.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyWhat you say is true, but it's a matter of degree.
On closer examination, "atheists" really don't have a monopoly on this behavior: emotionally immature agnostics, theists,
Christians, et al grind these gears to generate fireworks out of disappointment with the dim bulb emptiness of their lives.
A degree of honesty. There are those who genuinely hate any faith based belief and vent their disdain in ways that are exstremely offensive. Their's is an emotional based form of expression, which hinders objective discourse.
But the worst are they that call themselves a brother and go out of their way to make a public spectical of other Christians. As the apostle Paul says; "Whose mouths must be stopped,.." Titus 1:11a
Everyone is culpable, I agree, but some of the things said by certain posters is embarrassing and does nothing to facilitate healthy respectful debate.

Do you agree with other posters in this forum such as Grampy Bobby and sonship, that non Christians will be cast into a lake of fire and burnt for eternity?
Edit: when you eventually summon up the courage to admit what you believe, I'll stop asking you.
How many times do I have to point to where I posted an answer to you before you summon the courage to read it?

Originally posted by josephwAre you not now, yourself, here, trying to make a public spectacle of divegeester, one of your fellow Christians, with this public admonishment and by taking it upon yourself to describe him as being among "the worst"?

You may have noticed that josephw is not the most coherent of posters. Combined with his galvestonesque avoidance tactics it make him rather difficult to pin down about anything really. Who knows what he believes.

Originally posted by josephwWhere is your unequivocal statement of your beliefs regarding the 'eternal torture in burning flames for unbelievers' as propagated by the likes of sonship and Grampy Bobby? If you have stated what you make of the theology they promote, why not just point out where you did?

I'm merely commenting on the obvious. Geester dishes it out. He should be able to take the criticism. What I said is true and honest.
