Is that Calvin speaking in those John quotes? If so...WOW!

Quoting Charles Spurgeon: "It would not be possible for me too earnestly to press upon you the importance of reading the expositions of that prince among men, John Calvin..." Quoting Arminius: "I affirm that he excels beyond comparison in the interpretation of Scripture, and that his commentaries ought to be more highly valued than all that is handed down to us by the Library of the Fathers; so that I acknowledge him to have possessed above most others, or rather above all other men, what may be called an eminent gift of prophecy" [from Spurgeon's "Commenting and Commentaries", 1876].

I would consider that an endorsement by Arminius for Calvin to be admitted to the KOETT, wouldn't you?

Arminius endorses Calvin to the Koett.

Jude endorses Jude to the Koett!

Amazing...these are some extremely thought-provoking quotes.
