but that doesnt mean those who oppose you are equal to you. THIS wrecking ball swings one way MOW. It is opposed for sure, but it only swings one way.
Working so diligently at taking their system apart? You've got to be kidding! Whose system?

Equal? You're right about that because it is usually ONE side which accuses the other of being hell-bound. Now, talking about "tearing down" how can a person be torn down worse than their salvation not only being questioned, but canceled out?

It would really be great if their could be enough mutual respect that someone's salvation wasn't called into question. That my friend is the hard fact. The wrecking ball DOES, in fact, swing both ways and the tearing down as well.

Who determines what THE standard is and who has the wrecking ball? The predominant thinking pre-Affirmation Statement? The predominant thinking at the merger? The predominant thinking 15yrs after the merger?

That's my point. It DOES swing both ways. It just depends upon which direction you're looking at it from. That is why mutual respect is paramount.
