***Nobody saw it until John Calvin described the “hidden” counsel of God which he said was not explicit in scripture.

Oh good Lord....it’s worse than I thought.***

But not worse than we suspected. When you have Calvin be his own Pope, are you not surprised that he thought that like his theological descendent Joseph Smith, that he could just make it all us as he went along?

Apologies; correction in spelling:

When you have Calvin be his own Pope...

Calvin called all popes an anti-Christ, and unlike so many Romanists, Calvin was not self-loathing. So you're wrong again.

his theological descendent Joseph Smith,

Your slurs used to have at least some stray bit of pertinence to the discussion. Now they're just spitballs.

Joseph Smith is much more a child of Rome. He viewed himself to be a god, like the pope does. He believed himself to be infallible, like the pope does. He believed only he understood Scripture, like the pope (and the magisterium) do.

God willing, they both will continue to go the way of all false prophets.
