Who is Jesus?Saturday, 07 July 2007 09:54 | Written by Administrator |
Who is Jesus? At the heart of the faith of the Church of Scotland is the love and following of our Lord God through his son, Jesus Christ. But who is the real Jesus? The Bible and Jesus There are those who speak of Jesus the political revolutionary, the religious guru, the mystic, the faith healer, the hypnotist, an occultist, a magician. The Gospels, which are books in the Bible, clearly teach that Jesus was no ordinary man, but was in fact God in human form. The Gospel writers wanted their readers to understand that coming to know this Jesus was the ultimate life changing experience.

Westminster confession of faithWednesday, 20 August 2008 10:11 | Written by Administrator |
The Westminster Confession of Faith asserts the real presence in the Sacrament, the supreme authority of God’s Word, and the catholicity of the Church, made distinctive by three characteristics: the true preaching of the Word, the right administration of the Sacraments, and discipline. The Westminster Confession of 1647 superseded but did not cancel out the original Scots Confession of 1560, drawn up by six 'Johns': Knox, Willock, Winram, Spottiswoode, Row, and Douglas in supposedly six days, which was accepted by Presbyterians and Episcopalians alike. The full Confession of Faith was agreed upon by the Assembly of Divines at Westminster and examined and approved in 1647 by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and ratified by Acts of Parliament in 1649 and 1690.
