To be fair, that's just hypocrisy, and Christians generally do a pretty good job of calling themselves out on sin-hypocrisy.
I'm more concerned with the fact that he said we're all dishonest by nature (since that's what the verse says and thus he must accept it as reality) and then went and immediately misrepresented a definition in order to try to support his erroneous point.
Being a flawed human being, I'm fine with. Same goes for having different beliefs or opinions from my own (indeed, I'm almost surprised when anyone agrees with me about anything). But I will not sit here and meekly take bitch-slaps from someone who supports a verse that calls us all immoral and untrustworthy, then aggravates that slander by lying to us (it's okay, you see, because we're just immoral untrustworthy liars, not much better than animals, dontchaknow?) about a basic definition in an attempt to show we don't have mercy.
Because apparently, to him, "mercy" means meekness, rather than withholding one's power.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
