Again, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps you have an eye problem - have you had your vision checked lately?

“Confession and Catechisms [introduction to the Westminster Confession of Faith]
The Orthodox Presbyterian Church ^

Posted on Thursday, May 08, 2008 6:40:18 PM by Alex Murphy”

Or, perhaps you had difficulty reading the article itself.

“The last sentence of chapter 22.3, which forbade the refusing of a proper oath when imposed by lawful authority, was removed. Chapter 25.6, on the head of the church, was rewritten, and the identification of the Roman Catholic pope as the Antichrist was removed. Chapter 34 (”Of the Holy Spirit”) was added. Chapter 35 (”Of the Love of God and Missions”) was also added. A “Declaratory Statement” explaining chapters 3 and 10.3 (on election and salvation) was appended.”

“The Committee recommended that the change in chapter 22.3 and the removal of the reference to the pope as the Antichrist (but not the other changes) in chapter 25.6 be retained.”

Indeed, anyone who bothered to read the article would know that the first 4 paragraphs deal with the history changes prior to the formation of the OPC as they impacted that denomination, the remaining 12 deal exclusively with the OPC.

Perhaps you should ask your wife to read the articles to you if you have problems getting past the headline.

The part in red below the title is not part of the title, it is the source of the article.

As I edit this post, there is a box below my composing window which says:

In the Religion forum, on a thread titled Confession and Catechisms [introduction to the Westminster Confession of Faith], PAR35 wrote:

I think you're very angry that I posted that quote on this thread, but you have to face facts: I posted precisely what I said I posted, which is a quote from the Confession named in the title.

The title promises an introduction to the WCF, I provide one.

Leave my wife out of it.
