Lol. A better-late-than-never chuckle. The world would be a lot closer to heaven if the world read and understood Scripture as Calvin did.

The sordid history is recorded here.

Hey!!! I just told that to a Mormon who mistakenly knocked on my door a couple of days ago. He inadvertently made the mistake of starting to talk about our "free will". Ohhhhhhh...for the next two hours we went round and round. He gave me a small tract and I encouraged him to read John Calvin's Institutes.
