In my opinion it's how one teaches Christianity to others.
My opinion is the Bible and our own conduct is a good way to influence and educate others.
Scripture plus science, for example, can reach the heart and the mind on health issues.
If Christianity is taught by making someone feel guilty it's unlikely to be successful in the long run
However, if one uses the Bible to influence a person so that they can come to their own conclusion about practices that displease God and harms oneself and others then I think its much more successful and, well, healthy, physically and emotionally.

What are you going to teach about?
The holy spirit came as high priests of Judaism to teach a person the great mysteries of the law and prophets. He would have taught a progressive path through 7 feasts, 3 harvests during 2 seasons of rain because this is the temple and its comings and goings.
The holy spirit would teach all things of Judaism and why Israell had to practice the most awesome traditions that teach the mysteries of God.
Everyone has heard the phrase," The last Trump," and although Christian's dont seem to know what it is, when its blown, and why its blown, the holy spirit would have came and taught those first Christian's what it meant.
Why wont Christians.learn these things, why should they shun the knowledge as they always do?
The bible is about the law and the prophets, and the law and the prophets both have the same purpose of teaching the temple and its comings and goings, and the reason that these teachings are of the most important is because the temple had always been designed to show a human being in design, even made from the anatomy of a virgin which is the body, which is the bride, and all those comings and goings are the visitation days of the bride.
All those days, all those traditions, they are about you, and the holy spirit would have come to teach exactly that.
That you are the temple and those days are your visitation days, but are you visited?
Yes, but who has progressed through the barley to close out his first season in the wheat harvest in order to have a visitarion?
Christian's no longer talk about these most important of all things, and the biggest most depressing thing is that Gentiles no longer dream about the water ceremony with its promises to Gentiles with its great expectations.
If the holy spirit came, he would begin with the water ceremony, he would be shocked that Christian's wanted nothing to do with it.
So what are Christians going to teach unbelievers and babies in Christ?
The NewTestament is an acoompanyment to the love song that is Torah, a marriage contract, it is not some new religion.
So what will Christian's teach if not the religion Jesus walked in?
Jesus didnt walk in Judaism all his life to do away with the commandments, Jesus walked in Judaism as an example of how all men should walk.
Ecclesiastes
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Isaiah
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation
John 7
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
You can write books and books about what occurs in the water ceremoney and no man has seen or could perceive joy unless he had been to the water ceremony
It is so sad that Christian's dont want to know about.the most important thing in the bible, to know why a Christian should be waiting and anticipating the joy on the last great day of the feast.
If I cant even speak about the things of Jesus around Christian's. What exactly do Christian's think they should be teaching?
They cant convert an unbeliever to then instruct him at all, because what would you tell a convert concerning sin or holy days when there is no law, and the holy days of Jesus are shunned?
The holy spirit comes teaching everything of Judaism because Jesus walked in Judaism.
Is it so far fetched that we should study the actual religion Jesus loved and kept?
So far fetched that we should study the law, the temple or the comings and goi gs of the temple?
What other temple and other holy days should we be studying to learn about Jesus?
I have not said anything about keeping a law, I am talking about the willingness to shun everything that teaches who and what Jesus was. Christian's should study and find the true meaning in all the holy days of Jesus and their traditions because they teach of him.
