I subscribe to the original confession for this reason, as well as the the fact that other sections were amended by American Presbyterians. I agree that we should put it back in the American edition. I am not certain why it was deleted other than perhaps some compromised the truth. I believe our Puritan Fathers had a good reason why they used the language they did. Interestingly, A.A. Hodge, in his edition of the WCF kept the original wording of the confession intact. When I use the WCF in my preaching and teaching or in our order of worship for a responsive reading by the congregation, I use the original language.
