@ghost-of-a-dukesaid It is true that Russ isn't all-powerful, like your God, and therefore requires help from the community here to alert banned posters who have returned with a new account. - This particular banned member, who made abhorrent references to FMFs family, should provoke more from you than a shrug of the shoulders.
Do you think I should care about the insults that flow between other posters if they have been here or before or not why? Do you care about the insults that come my way have I ever asked you why you don't say something?

Do you not see yourself as part of an online community?

Have you been accused of rape and of being a paedophile? Have you been mocked about the death or grave illness of family members? What "insults" are you talking about?

Proverbs say, "For pressing milk produces curds, pressing the nose produces blood, and pressing anger produces strife." I'm surprised that when people push others to anger they react as if they are pure and innocent. I had a friend that I knew better than to trade even friendly insults with, he went places that simply I was not prepared to go as fast as possible. Strife can produce malice and hate and when that happens it can get ugly fast.

The only person exhibiting anger ~ and apparently malice and hate too ~ these last few days has been you.

This was not a rhetorical question, KellyJay. It was in response to your peculiar little victim-card 'counterattack'.

@ghost-of-a-dukesaid Even for somebody transformed by the holy spirit?
God starts working on us internally the moment He becomes our Lord and Savior. Each of us all start from different places as we are conformed into what God wants, the rate of change will vary in our sanctification too. So it is possible some will continue act contrary, but in Christ, the Lord is still doing a work He began, and will finish it.

'Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.' Colossians 3:9-10
Surely, at the very least, this new self (caused by receiving the holy spirit) would bring to an end 'malice and hate' and Christians getting 'ugly fast' ?

You would think, but that is on the Lord. You think Jesus’ grace should be turned into merit?

What I think is that the transformation of receiving the holy spirit is clearly greatly exaggerated. Yes, the individual Christian has to work with the spirit and will not immediately become angelical in their behaviour, but the idea that God dwells inside a Christian and yet they continue to be filled with malice and hate is an oxymoron.
What does the Abrahamic God want above all?
