Romans 3:23 says nothing about "Christ's teachings". And that section of Romans is all about redemption purely through faith, which is in direct contradiction to the post I was replying to. The (dubious) claim was that if you don't DO certain things that Christ says you should, you're not a "real" Christian. If you think that claim is bullshit, then I have to look at you and wonder why in the world you'd be responding to me and not to them....hmmmmmmmmmm.

Perhaps you should re-read the whole thread and attempt another response.
