This is an intentionally negative piece written about John Calvin that doesn’t place him in the context of his times.
His weren’t the only beheadings, the only stake-burnings, and the only burdensome rules and restrictions.
But, this kind of propaganda hit job is designed to further someone’s agenda; someone who thinks they gain by running down another Christian brother.
And it goes the same when directed from the Calvinist side toward their non-Calvinist brethren.
Jesus prayed for our unity. It’s sad when we make it harder for people to believe in Jesus because of our disunity.
“This is an intentionally negative piece written about John Calvin that doesn’t place him in the context of his times.”
It is factual. How are facts “negative”?
Calvin was an evil man. The context of his times is not relevant when he had the Bible to guide him.
God doesn't look at context. Sin is sin. Murder is murder. It doesn't matter what the "context" was.
I, admittedly, have not studied Calvin's history. If he did indeed order the death of someone for heresy, that is sin. It doesn't matter what other people were doing at the time.
