    Well, you knew I would strongly disagree with you, so you need not have even addressed your post to me. :)

    But good to talk with you again otherwise. :)

    (See bolded part). Thank you. And yet there are baptists on here who defend Calvin and refuse to admit the truth about him. But some of these same people are eager to condemn the RCC for its persecution and murders.

    I have read some despicable things about John Calvin.

    Aparently he was a somewhat wretched human being. That might explain his bad theology

    You just did.I understand:thumbs:You cannot back up anything you say.Got it.

    It would have no value because you add nothing to the discussion.Just take pot shots, and then retreat into your sanctimonious cave.

    I dont know anything about Calvins musical abilities, and dont care.

    Its the murderings that sort of "bug" me.


    It sure was, and you can be sure that there will be many many more mis-spellings in my posts. You can count on it.

    This is a "discussion board, not a "spelling bee".

    I don't find it necessary to defend Calvin in order to be a Calvinist.

    My views are based on what I believe are scriptural truth, not Calvin truth.

    What Calvin taught makes no difference to me. Attacking him cuts no ice with me.

    Well said Tom. I have tried to make that point in the past to no avail. Spurgeon said that Calvinism was a "nickname" for the Biblical Doctrine of Grace. On this forum it is all too often used as a pejorative.

    I've even looked around for another name to describe Calvinists.

    I suggested DoG (for Doctrines of Grace). All it got me was being called a Dirty DoG.

    How about "calvinissimus"? It has a superlative ring to it.

    Is the plural of that "calvinissimi"? Is the female equivalent "calvinissima," and the plural "calvinissimae?"

    Incidentally, we sort of have dueling threads on the subject. Be sure to check out SBC-Hatfields and McCoys or you might miss something.
