You have the freedom NOT to answer. Perhaps that is what he should have done was refuse to answer the question and then he would not have gotten you upset to the point where you want to ban him.
I believe the atonement was twofold. Jesus died so we could be reconciled with the Father but also so we could be reconciled with each other. Yet you want to ban people and you do not want to be reconciled with them. If you think that is semantics then believe what you want, it does not matter to me.

Jeremiah uses the word three times. Twice in the KJV it is translated "watch" and once "hasten". Most all the other translations use the word "watch". Hasten would imply that God is quick to do what He says. What God says He is going to do, He does. That is why they have books on the promises of God so we can claim them. In the Hebrew the first letter sets the pace for a word and the first letter here is symbolic for teeth - meaning to consume or devour. The last letter indicates to complete or finish. To bring to an end. God declares the end from the beginning. Jesus is the alpha and the omega, the first and the last.
Jeremiah 1:12
HEB: לִרְא֑וֹת כִּֽי־ שֹׁקֵ֥ד אֲנִ֛י עַל־
NAS: well, for I am watching over
KJV: seen: for I will hasten my word
INT: have seen for I am watching I over
Jeremiah 5:6
HEB: יְשָׁדְדֵ֔ם נָמֵ֤ר שֹׁקֵד֙ עַל־ עָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם
NAS: them, A leopard is watching their cities.
KJV: them, a leopard shall watch over their cities:
INT: will destroy A leopard is watching and their cities
Jeremiah 44:27
HEB: הִנְנִ֨י שֹׁקֵ֧ד עֲלֵיהֶ֛ם לְרָעָ֖ה

INT: behold I am watching over evil

Well it depends. If the lie is that you think I look like George Clooney, then that's ok.

If you can prove to me that God, Jesus, salvation, or God's word corrupts, then I'll come over to your side.

The original language manuscript's have corrupted to the point that they have rotted away from the face of the earth. God knew this would happen so he covered it.
God's method of preservation was to have atheist Greek and Hebrew scholars sort through the pure inerrant copies of copies of fragments and corrupted copies of copies of fragments and have these atheist tell us which copies of copies are REAL and which ones aren't.
He also made it to where if we have enough money and sense, that we can learn foreign languages and use Greek and Hebrew dictionaries so that we could pick and choose which meaning of a word best fits our doctrine. If we don't have enough sense to do that, then we can ask people like Dino, TDW or James White what the bible is really trying to say. It is beyond comprehension that God would do it any other way, there is no way that he would inspire translators to write exactly what he wanted written so that your average Joe could pick up a bible and read it word for word.
Now we have the absolute inerrant word of God as given to us by the athiest scholars and wanna be Greek and Hebrew experts. And, get this. If you don't like the way one group of atheist scholars interpreted it, just go find another version that best suits your needs.
Of course I'm being facetious, God preserved his word EXACTLY the same way he wrote his word to start with.... He inspired men to write exactly what he wanted to be written.
