Time may heal all wounds but moving like I am a 90 year old until I am 90 years old isn’t as much time healing all wounds as it is time and wounds finally matching.

Each one at different times called themselves a Christian. Both still maintain they are Christians to this day. They appear to be very similar but they couldn’t be more black and white.
