East nor West

While it is easy to discuss whether east or west is broken down in Christ the completeness of what is meant by 'east' and 'west' is another thing. Rather than polarize as to one interpretation or the other, the most favorable position is 'all': the lines of separation in Christ are broken down between east and west geographically: it does not matter what land or region one is from. Likewise, cultures and philosophies and politics from one extreme to the other are no longer the first thought in Christ, as long as His holy doctrine is not contradicted. Whether physical or figurative, the great differences between people are broken down.

We have already seen this removal of the partition between people, or the "Great Tolerance" in our discussions of differences between male and female [gender], Jew nor Greek [race and religion], bond or free [condition] and others, but now we see, that as long as His Word is paramount and forefront, our differences as human beings are unessential to God. Before, it was mentioned that this Blood-Bought Tolerance does not erase differences into some naive ecumenism or one-world one-human-race easy 'all-join-hands' philosophy which is in reality, unaccomplishable. Rather, the removal of the partition between East and West does not mean every philosophical and cultural tenet must be tolerated and accepted by all, but that those things posited as east and west add to the uniqueness of the individual coming to Christ, to the uniqueness of the way Christ is viewed [at least in part, for Christ is genuine and singular],
