You were not there and you do not know what I was told and CANNOT tell me I don’t know what I was told.
Heck, I can’t even tell you what I was told back then. I don’t remember. I do remember reading the entire New Testament through twice when I was a freshman in high school. Being the good little Catholic boy that I was, I doubt if I would have read it if I was told not to.
Then you'd not make a very normal human; whose tendancy is to do EXACTLY what they are told NOT to do!
Romans 7:7-8 For I would not have been aware of coveting if the Law had not said, “Do not covet.”
But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire.
