I did accept your word for what it teaches. You talked about sin not being real. I kind of understand how you mean it, and I kind of still have a problem with putting things that way. Sorry...........................................4.)Yes I did rely on the wikipedia. If that is my crime, you do it all the time. 3.) I did accept your word for what it teaches.

How can you claim all of those at once and call yourself honest? If you don't want to read it, fine, I understand. But don't then also claim that you *know* what it teaches. I'm not saying that you're not generally and otherwise an honest person, but it seems to me that this argument you're making here and now *is* in itself, dishonest. Sorry. No hard feelings, but I call a spade a spade.
