speratus said: Rev. Bonar uses the correct words but assigns incorrect meaning to the words. Because of Bonar's and his church's false Christology, singing that hymn in a Presbyterian church would be confessing false doctrine.
Soooooo, what false meaning do you allege the Presbyterian Church gives to these words:
Thy cross, not mine, O Christ, Has borne the awe-full load Of sins that none could bear But the incarnate God.
In His grace,

Westminster, Art. 8 Christ, in the work of mediation, acteth according to both natures, by each nature doing that which is proper to itself:(n) yet, by reason of the unity of the person, that which is proper to one nature, is sometimes in Scripture attributed to the person denominated by the other nature.
We could discuss in a separate thread, if you wish, whether or not Westminster is saying that bearing of sins applies to both natures. It is clear from the "God Died?" thread that the intent of the Bonar hymn is not to teach that the Incarnate God bore our sins in His suffering and death but to attribute the bearing of sins on the cross to the person denominated by the other nature.
