Featured A Tale of Two Faiths

I like how you stuck the execution of Nicholas Anthoine in there....like Calvin had something to do with it. Calvin died nearly 90 years before that execution.
I guess since all protestant framers are all so evil. You should denounce protestantism and become Amish.

 

True.......

 

Not one person has said it was Just to put Servetus to death.

America is blessed in so many ways. We should be more like Christ than anyone from the 1500's. We have access to more scripture translations and insight. We have Christian generation after generation....each generation should become more Christ like......may not be the case in my generation and the one after.....but we should be more knowledge in our theology, conformed more like Christ. Just like our education system that has always showed advancements. Our Christian eduction system should show advancements as well. I pray that our children's children are so sanctified.....so conformed to Christ, that look back on us a barbaric, uneducated Christians. Every generation of Christians should have a better understanding of the Bible than the previous. If not, the previous generation failed its children.

Our country and our generation of 2015, is an unfair comparison to Switzerland in 1500's. When we compare our moral compass on executions to the 1500's we do it under false variables. Our environment may have....probably would have.... Shaped us, just like it did them.

 

I know very few reformed believes who go around calling themselves Calvinist. Almost all none Calvinist proudly slap the badge of "Calvinist" on those who hold to any portion of reformed theology. Not all reformed believers believe everything Calvin taught. Many separate from him on Baptism and some on the Lord's Supper.

 

And the reading public needs to recognize that when you use the word facts the actual meaning is fiction.

He did no such thing, and didn't even qualify if you want to apply it to Romans 13:1-7.

No, it was a decade earlier. And here is a contradiction. Earlier Calvin was supposed to have wielded the sword --now it's the Genevan government.

And technically heresy was considered a capital crime back then. Servetus was a wild card. He reveled in chaos. He was a wanted man anywhere in Europe at that time.

"Calvin's tenure", huh? Others were executed during Calvin's time in Geneva. He had no authority to put anyone to death. He was not in charge. Many times he implored the Council to consider this or that and was refused. Dictators are not refused. You have redefined yet another word.

Get thee to a well-stocked library. David Cloud does not count as a church historian in any way, shape or form. You have proven that your credentials as having specialized in history is quite bogus. If you look upon him as authoritative you are simply deluded.

 

It must stink to be a low information would-be theologian that stoops to lies and hack websites to try to malign a person they know nothing about.

 

No.... Even if the earliest Baptists did have some contact with the Anabaptists (which is highly suspect and is the subject of great controversy in its accuracy) none of the Baptists--especially the General Baptists--bear any of the essential characteristics of the Anabaptists.
