I saw what you were doing and it was tempting to "step" on your punch line. Nicely played!
And while Calvin may have been bad, I bet he would have been killed in India, and at least he never viciously gathered the sick and dying from the streets and inflicted care on them. He was REAL Christian, none of this namby pamby, can't we all just get along, kumbaya ministry to the outcast stuff. What the heck kind of Christianity is THAT?
Just because I wouldn’t want you to miss the truth...
The difference between Rome and Calvin, of course, is that “punishment” according to Calvin meant a reprimand in the Sunday sermon whereas Rome’s “punishment” entails burning the heretic at the stake.
A difference apparently lost on all these FR Roman Catholics calling for a return to the Inquisition.
