Not appropriate to accuse someone of lying when everybody is entitled to an interpretation. Everybody is entitled to an opinion, so let's keep it polite and civil. And I had cited a specific Bible verse.

Sure, anyone can have an opinion.
But there are rules of conduct that are necessary to have an honest conversation.

Like I said, you are in the wrong sub forum.

On the contrary, I am in the correct forum because I cited a specific verse from the Bible. Look again at Proverbs 3:16.

Of course you are in the right forum. But being called a liar by some people who don’t like what you have to say is often the price you pay for posting here. Give it time and you might even have the privilege of being given the label of Satan’s Seed or some other colorful term.

What of it?
Nothing there about divination.

The behavior you are exhibiting is exactly what i mean by intentional dishonesty.
Stop lying.

rather than apologize for calling someone a liar for having an interpretation you disagree with, you try to justify yourself.

And there is always the honor-roll-list of being put on ignore, after an accusation.

So if you were raised along with the Messiah, then seek the things above, where the Messiah is sitting at the right hand of God.[a] 2 Focus your minds on the things above, not on things here on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with the Messiah in God. 4 When the Messiah, who is our life, appears, then you too will appear with him in glory!

5 Therefore, put to death the earthly parts of your nature — sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed (which is a form of idolatry); 6 for it is because of these things that God’s anger is coming on those who disobey him. 7 True enough, you used to practice these things in the life you once lived; 8 but now, put them all away — anger, exasperation, meanness, slander and obscene talk. 9 Never lie to one another; because you have stripped away the old self, with its ways, 10 and have put on the new self, which is continually being renewed in fuller and fuller knowledge, closer and closer to the image of its Creator. 11 The new self allows no room for discriminating between Gentile and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, foreigner, savage, slave, free man; on the contrary, in all, the Messiah is everything.

Well, they think they are being persecuted when people don’t accept their opinions, so I guess it’s not surprising that they go to such lengths.

No one is saying it’s good to lie, pinacle. The point is, someone having a different perspective than you do does not make them a liar.
