| | | Confessional Standards on PB
Has anyone ever thought of putting the Westminster Standards, Three Forms of Unity et all on a PB page so that users can easily access them in a discussion rather than having to go onto other websites?

Please see thread about the old days before computers. |  But we have moved on since then, surely. Maybe we should be expected to have memorised the various standards before joining, though that would mean 99% of members would have to leave. |

For anyone who is interested, the Westminster standards are available free from the OPC in several different helpful versions here: Confession and Catechisms
For the Dutch version, go here: What We Believe - Escondido United Reformed Church | | The Following User Says Thank You to ReformationArt For This Useful Post: | |

No, I'm not saying that you should have to memorize them but one click away is *hardly* a hardship. Incidentally, one of the reasons I prefer off-site is because I've set up the Standards and the 3FU in a pretty easy place to jump around on my former Church site (I still host and admin it): Westminster Confession of Faith - Providence Church, Temecula, CA Westminster Shorter Catechism - Providence Church, Temecula, CA Westminster Larger Catechism - Providence Church, Temecula, CA The Belgic Confession - Providence Church, Temecula, CA The Heidelberg Catechism - Providence Church, Temecula, CA The Canons of Dordt - Providence Church, Temecula, CA
You can jump around to the footnotes really easily and reference proof texts when needed. It's even got the major creeds there. I built those a number of years ago with much sweat and they come in handy for me pretty regularly. I couldn't very easily re-build them here. I link to them in the Forum Rules but I should probably provide a link to them on the sidebar.

I suppose I was thinking more for people who are not familiar with much on the internet, then again if that is the case, then they are not very likely to be on the PB.  |

| | APM has most but not all of the major creeds and not all accurate as noted here. WCF at APM APM Update Suggestion
For those who prefer the original 1646 WCF, it is available online here.

I must confess I have not stopped chuckling at that comment for the last few hours.
The introduction of the violin icons was a masterstroke. |
