Is the word "accordingly" necessary? Why not just start a new sentence without it? I cannot see what it contributes and think it might detract more than it helps. My point of view. N D Vater
I struggled over that. In the original, it says "...being made after the image of God." I take that to mean that being made in the image of God is a manifestation of "rendering them fit unto that life to God for which they were created". So I was trying to show the connection rather than just starting with a new, independent assertion that they were made in God's image. Thoughts?
My thoughts? I considered that, but I wonder if the accordingly does not put more stress on that than the original statement warrants. If you leave it out you are not denying a connection, but if you leave it in then you are definitely asserting such a connection in an undeniable way.
I'm removing accordingly.
Stan, This looks really good. Was wondering about six day period verse the original six days?
When will your version be in print? Was wondering if I could make copies for our Sunday School Class as we work through the confession? WE have about 24 members or so. I am the pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in Catskill, NY. Thanks for your hard and thoughtful work on this.

I take "in the space of six days" and "a six-day period" to mean the same thing, with the latter being more natural in modern English.
Contact me offlist for info on sharing the confession. Go to my profile and then my web page to get my email address or contact me through our church contact form.
