What about Confessions?

I've spent some time at R. Scott Clark's blog reading entries, and have been thinking a bit about Confessions.

I have had trouble understanding folks (many of whom hang out at Jesus Creed) who express strong objections to Confessions. It seems to me a Confession is a way of answering the question, "What does the Bible teach?" Your answer to this question is your Confession. From reading Scot McKnight's Blue Parakeet, it seems he would answer this question by handing someone a Bible.

However, at least at Jesus Creed, the reaction to Confessions is tied closely to the anti-Reformed bent of many of the contributors.

Of course, to have an answer to the question, "What does the Bible trach?" assumes that the Bible is a unity and does not contradict itself.

In preparation to reading Clark's book Recovering the Reformed Confession (which was shipped today and I hope to have before my trip to Vegas) I'm re-reading the Westminster Confession. I have not read it in a few years, and my antenna will be sensitized to what I may have doubts about.
