what does it matter, if you believe that the Golden Rule is impossible to practice? Knowledge of, and even belief in, the Cross for salvation will not save one. satan has knowledge of the cross, and not only believes but knows for a fact that faith in the Cross will save someone. So what.

So, you continue to posit practicing the Golden Rule as something that only need be done after one has said the correct words, that please men; meaning them "really" and not faking it, no fingers crossed or whatever

read your quote again, and recognize how you might be searching the Scriptures for Christ, as He stands in front of you issuing guidance for translating spiritual principle into practice. Allow for the possibility that you might be fighting God here.
