I assume you are talking about the same one they taught us in Sunday School.

Can you articulate it?

Can you articulate it?

Is it so ambiguous that you need it articulated? I think not. But since you insist on being pedantic, Matthew 7:12 is one of the best expressions in the Bible (there are some expressions in Luke, Leviticus, and a few other places that vary slightly for better or worse, but I prefer Matthew). I'll let you pick the translation.

My father is Protestant theologian, currently preaching (in semi-retirement) in a small conservative farming town. I am quite fluent in all things Christianity, seeing as how I was immersed in it for most of my childhood, under the tutelage of someone who was a genuine expert in it. I am also a mathematician, though, and can speak very literately about a great many things mathematical.

The relationship between the Biblical "Golden Rule" and IPD has been well-known for a long time. Nothing I have said should seem shocking, unusual, or even arguable. So I don't really know what your point is or even what you are questioning precisely.
