For discussion

1. The Assembly cited 1 John 5:7 in support of this answer. Read it in context — how does it bear on what is claimed here?
2. 2 passages are cited here. Which does the most work, and is anything claimed that the proofs do not obviously carry?
3. WLC Q9 treats the same ground. What does it add, and why might it put things differently?
4. WLC Q10 treats the same ground. What does it add, and why might it put things differently?
