Bible Note: [Caution: Detrimental remarks especially Calvinism/Arminianism is not permitted. Continued abuse of the rule will lead to loss of posting priviledges.] Well, if I was speaking of Jesus in that tone I believe you would be correct. Calvin was a man like all the rest of us. He made gross mistakes in his thinking that lead to much blood-letting and destruction. Our national Constitution is written in way to prevent what he did in Geneva, from ever happening again. People came to these shores to escape government and persecution heavily influenced by his thinking. That just history, John, not my opinion. If we've reached a point we can't speak of history on a forum such as this where all should be willing to know while not distorting the truth for advantage, we're in big trouble. Satan wins another one. |
