There is always a showdown just around the corner but it never comes.

That's because real "showdowns" aren't possible until we lay the groundwork such that the revisionists can't avoid them. But we orthodox (and conservatives in general) have historically been far too impatient to make that happen. We end up hoping for a big blow-up (which sometimes comes), rather than patiently chipping away at the problem -- which is what the revisionists did, and why they're in power today.

God laid the groundwork in the New Testament. Anything else is just an excuse to avoid taking a stand.
