Since Calvin is only providing his own interpretation it has no more merit than any one of his fellow cultist reformers.

Outside of some evangelical/fundamentalist cults, Calvin and his ilk have been relegated to the dustbins of history where his infamous legacy is continuously evidenced by the perpetual fractionizing processes. This is the historical curse that he has bequeathed his disillusioned followers.

Calvin has been marginalized and rightly so in modern times. since he did precious little in the furtherance of spreading the word of God but the boy did sow the seeds of hatred and corruption.

God bless

Calvin has been marginalized

lol. Only in Rome.

Reformed churches are sprouting up all over the globe. China is being converted by the millions. In South America, the two fastest growing churches are Pentecostal and Reformed.

High school history books teach the fact that this country was founded on the Biblical principles Calvin instituted in Geneva -- a separation of church and state; a tri-part system of government with its built-in checks and balances to keep men honest; and a representative system of government where both church and state leaders are elected from among the congregation and the citizenry, respectively.

Meanwhile, Rome is bleeding membership, closing churches and seminaries everywhere. Four times as many RCs become Protestant as Protestants become RC.

As God wills.

CATHOLIC TRADITION FADING IN U.S.
Evangelicals now outnumber Catholics
(although Protestants have always outnumbered RCs in this country)
