Why would someone invent a hymn against his held doctrine? It happens all the time. Let's take for example:

Quote
Thy Works, Not Mine, O Christ by H. Bonar
Thy cross, not mine, O Christ,
Has borne the awe-full load
Of sins that none could bear
But the incarnate God.

Rev. Bonar was a minister of the Free Church of Scotland. I could sing that hymn in a Lutheran church but not in a Presbyterian church.
Pray tell WHAT Presbyterian Church would prohibit the singing of that hymn. I'm referring of course, to a conservative, historic Presbyterian Church and not the likes of one of the apostate varieties, e.g., the United Presbyterian Church, the UPCUSA, et al which are no churches. Where in the world DO you come up with such ideas? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/dizzy.gif" alt="" />

Oh, I should also ask if you are going to answer J_Edwards direct question or not? These asides are entertaining but hardly salient.

In His grace,
