Unfortunately, many Protestants consider Romans and Galatians a "canon within a canon", totally disregarding much of what Jesus Christ HIMSELF said! I would highly recommend a daily dosage of the Gospels, brother. Perhaps you might disavow yourself of the "Calvinist" concept of who God is.

OK, well, if it means anything, I'm learning that from you. :) I sure do think a lot of Romans and Galatians, but I also think a lot of the Gospels. If I had to pick two favorites from the NT, they would be John and Romans. But still, all scripture is scripture and absolutely valid. Do you have any information that Calvin shied away from or didn't like the Gospels? I've never heard of that.

Well, for starters, how about the whole idea of justification by faith that was taught by Calvin and Luther - the concept of extrinsic justification.

Doesn't Christ say that WE MUST BECOME RIGHTEOUS - EXCEEDING THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE PHARISEES? This, of course, goes totally against the invention of Luther and Calvin that man can do nothing. Christ says WE must become righteous, Protestants say we can't. At all.
