1 | catholic and protestant salvation view | Eph 4:3 | Reformer Joe | 49489 | ||
Yep, talk about them! :) Here is the statement of my denomination on that very section: "The Presbyterian Church in America received the same Confession and Catechisms as those that were adopted by the first American Presbyterian Assembly of 1789, with two minor exceptions, namely, the deletion of strictures against marrying one's wife's kindred (XXIV,4), and the reference to the Pope as the antichrist (XXV,6). Other than these changes, and the American amendments of Chapter XXIII on the civil magistrate (adopted in 1789), this is the Confession and Catechisms as agreed upon by the Assembly of Divines at Westminster which met from 1643-1647. The Caruthers edition of the Confession and Catechisms, which is based upon the original manuscript written by Cornelius Burgess is the Edition presented to and adopted by the First General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America." (http://www.pcanet.org/general/cof_preface.htm) So we can acknowledge that some of our spiritual predecessors went too far, erroneously so. But once again, the Confession does not carry the same authority as the Scriptures, so acknowledging the fallibility (and even error) of the Westminster divines does not pose a problem for us. --Joe! |

Joe, Thank you. I was aware of the different language in the American Confession. I am happy to know you subscribe to it. Hope springs eternal for an ultimate reconciliation at some point. Emmaus |

Yeah, too bad the RCC idea of "reconciliation" involves a unilateral abandonment on the part of Protestants of all the doctrine over which we divided in the first place! :) --Joe! |
