- In Scotch Confession 4, entitled “Of the Revelation of the Promise,” give a nuanced explanation of what the “promise” is.
** Scotch Confession 4: the seed of the woman should bruise the head of the serpent’, that is, that he should destroy the works of the devil.
**
** Scotch Confession 5: We most surely believe that God preserved, instructed, multiplied, honoured, adorned, and call from death to life His Kirk in all ages since Adam until the coming of Christ Jesus, in the flesh.**
The SC expands the explaination in a H-R sense walking all the way through redemptive history and God preserving his “Kirk” or church.
