Featured Lies About John Calvin Refuted

And the beat goes on.........so does the mouth

 

You are so great, not only do you support the character of John Calvin, but now Catholic theology. You are a work in the making. Guess where you can put the Institutes if your file cabinet if full?

 

Awesome irony in this thread in light of Matthew 5:22.

 

I do not know who made you judge, but whatever it takes to make the life and character of John Calvin clear to all.

 

There's one judge...and it ain't me. But I do enjoy good irony like I found in this thread!

 

Exactly, and I am not making excuses for the things I have said to this poster. This poster is obcessed with John Calvin. He has posted about the life of John Calvin for years like the man was a saint. I got tired of hearing it, as did many other posters. There is no way a Christian leader is a monster, like John Calvin.

 

Now, which one of us is judging?

An alternative position: http://thegospelcoalition.org/mobile/article/justintaylor/calvin-and-servetus

 

I have read the web site, and the opposing ones, and there is no doubt about it, he is guilty. He would get the death penalty in our country today. It is not just Michael Servetus, it is many other murders and tortures. On top of everything else, you, being a Baptist minister, and believing that local autonomous churches preserved the NT church that Jesus Christ promised to preserve, one wonders why Calvin persecuted those local autonomous churches of the day. One wonders why he wrote on the seperation of church and state and formed a theocracy. One wonders why he held to the Catholic belief of infant baptism.

The character and morality of John Calvin has nothing to do with whether a person believes in God's sovereignty. I grew up as a conservative Presbyterian many decades ago, and and fully on the side of sovereignty. Are you confusing the two issues, or do you think God's sovereignty requires Calvin to be a saint and be praised?

 

That's an excellent point. As an example, the Primitive Baptists are 5-pointers, but had they lived in Calvin's day, he would have still persecuted and murdered them because of their disavowal of infant baptism, state churchism, and their belief in liberty of conscience.

 

It is in my soul. You should try the same thing. You might start by quit making heroes out of murderers, liars, and thugs.

 

Quite the opposite, your support of him is a direct reflection of your character.

 

Very good judgement. All you have to do is review my posts and you can see I am the leading advocate for the RCC. Your spiritual discernment is amazing.
