I'm talking about Truth and what the PCA have done via the Shorter
Catechism is what doctrines of men
are doing constantly - you included JD. Since His works were done
before the foundation of the world and
it is written that we are predestined to be conformed to the "image of
Christ" then it follows that this should be the 'chief end of man' doesn't it? -
That is if God's Word means anything to us at all .... and this has
everything to do with relationship with Christ = jt

Interesting JD,I've been attending an introductory class at the church we have been attending which is PCA. They identify with the Reformation and they like the Shorter Catechism. I can't figure out why the first point in the Catechism does not say that the chief end of man is to be conformed to the image of Christ - after all this is what we have been predestined for and they believe in predestination.

If we define new birth as a putting on of Christ, emphasis on a relationship, then we might suppose that the resulting validation marking the difference between vacillation and growth is the benefit can see in the occurring changes. If I am a better person, growth has occurred. If I have become more distasteful, something is wrong with the relationship. After all, that is the way relationships work. Soooo, "truth" can be said to exist IN THE BELIEVER if that believer becomes more and more like Christ.JD
