Do you believe in bringing children up with a strict education, in avoiding sumptuous food and unnecessary expense, and in holding to the values of hard work? If so, you have a good chance of being a CalvinistWhat do the manner of education, the type of food eaten, and one's work ethic have to do with being a Calvinist?

What do the manner of education, the type of food eaten, and one's work ethic have to do with being a Calvinist? Quite a bit, IMO.

What do the manner of education, the type of food eaten, and one's work ethic have to do with being a Calvinist? Good question. I can't think of any relation, myself.

What do the manner of education, the type of food eaten, and one's work ethic have to do with being a Calvinist?While the question in this quiz is somewhat facetious, it seems to be referencing the fact that moderation in most things is a good idea and that hard work is a joyful event when it is done in the service of Christ as we preach the Gospel to all men.
