Had Calvin ever condemned the brutal execution of 58 people or the imprisonment of 76 people?
Was he just a spectator at that time?
If he had been really sympathetic to those victims, he would have been expelled from there.
One of my acquaintances repent very often whenever he get drunk. After he drank alcohol,he repent deeply about his behavior against his parents and so on. But he would not accept the Lord and objects to the truth. If Calvin really repented about his behavior, no one here would necessarily defend him.
How many billions should be killed if we apply the same rule to this world today, as Geneve did at his time?
What did Jesus do to the woman caught in adultery? What did He do to the biggest cult at that time, Pharisees and Sadducees? Has He killed any? The Holy Spirit in me who watched and listened to the prayer of Servetus tells me not to stand in defense of Calvin. If Servetus committed any civil offense, yes he deserve the penalty for it. Did he kill any people? Just because he disagreed to the Trinity, did he deserve such death? If anyone justify the hatred-filled murder of Calvin ( or just a spectator enjoying watching the execution), he or she is confessing that he himself or she herself has hatred-filled murderous desire.
I disagree with Jehova's Witness people even though they deny Trinity, but would not kill them even though I am empowered to do any type of execution, nor would sit at the scene as a spectator. I would have left a clear message of my objection to the brutal murder.
What happened in Geneve was exactly the same as committed by Roman Catholic under Popes and some people call Calvin as Pope of Geneve.
Do we still need more research before we discern Calvin? I would not spend much time studying Mahomed or Budha before discerning them. I would not set up any research center in my mind for each heresy. My understanding about those religion is enough for me to discern properly and depart from them. We have to adore and remember only One who loved us so much that he died for us and I know no one else died for me.
I am glad that I didn't live in Geneve at the time of Calvin, because my personality would have made me disobey Calvin and would have condemned him as a hatred-filled hypocrite, openly, and would have died by the brutal exection.
