It demonstrates our ignorance of what is actually there in scripture. It is full of training. And the training wasn't for everybody who believed. And it wasn't the same for everybody who followed as a disciple.

If scientists only dealt in substantive facts there would be no discoveries or advancement of knowledge. Research begins with a guess, it is called a Hypothesis. The experiment is then designed to prove or disprove that.
So then let's reexamine your thesis. Some claim that their is no training in the NT because the word "training" does not appear even though the Bible is full of training, this is ignorant. (I agree with you).
This is like some claiming that Autism might be caused by inoculations which has since been examined and proven not to be linked. (Yes, this example is a good example of ignorance, your ignorance in how the scientific process works. The problem is not that we can't follow your logic, the problem is that it was flawed unless it was supposed to be dripping with irony).
