Talk:The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution for Cause of Conscience

Ten Commandments
“Williams also cited the legitimate role of government in Paul's letter to the Romans 13 as applying only to enforcement of the second table of the Ten Commandments (last five commandments involving hurting other people).”

The last five commandments as the second table is a fairly modern grouping. The Ten Commandments at one time were viewed as having Commandments one through three on the first table (love God) and four through ten on the second table (love your neighbor). 199.229.240.252 (talk) 08:13, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Westminster Confession of Faith
"20.2 God alone is Lord of the conscience, and hath left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men, which are, in anything, contrary Word; or beside it, if matters of faith, or worship. So that, to doctrines, or to obey such commands, out of conscience, is to betray true liberty of conscience: and the requiring of an implicit faith, and blind obedience, is to destroy liberty of conscience, and reason also."

- Westminster Divines

Wouldn't the The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution for Cause of Conscience, 1644, be entirely consistent with the quotation from Chapter 20 of the Westminster Confession of Faith? --DThomsen8 (talk) 13:12, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
