Where in God's word does it state that it is up to the Church to burn heretics at the stake?

More historical revisionism (at least in this specific case). It was not the Church that put the blasphemer to death, it was the state, the civil authorities in Geneva.

I’m afraid your PC-influenced view of history is getting the best of you.

When you think you have the facts straight come back and we can talk more.

LOL! The Church and the state were married. The state WAS the Church.

You just can't admit that Calvin was wrong.
