I mean taught in the pedagogical sense not in the prescriptive sense.
eg If a teacher tells you that F=ma that isn't really teaching is it?
Only when they show, deduce or explain does it become teaching.
What is taught in the bible if anything?
As the Zen people like to say, it is impossible to fill a cup that is already full.

Typical liberal position. Pretty self righteous lot you are.

Am I demanding others to discuss with me by my terms? Did I start this thread.
When you understand what I just wrote, you can post an apoligy. Until then you can remain clueless.

It's simple. Sin is that thing in us that says "no God". Acknowledge God by agreeing with Him about what you already know is true about your condition.
Want an epiphany of understanding? Want the fix for the thing that's killing you? Believe God. Be crucified with Christ. Live forever.
