My former coworker (I’m retired) was a Calvinist so arrogant that he disparaged both Baptists and Evagelicals. They and Catholics like me were bound for hell for rejecting predestination. Not even Rev. Billy Graham was spared.

Wow. You (allegedly) knew a (alleged) Calvinist who was a jerk. I guess that all Calvinists are like that guy?

Hey, nice try. I didn’t say all Calvinists are jerks (though I believe John Calvin himself was an arrogant intolerant jerk who terrorized Geneva and anyone who didn’t believe exactly the way he did).

My coworker was actually a nice guy, even when he was waving the KJV in my face and calling it the finest fruit of the English language. He swore that if I paid his plane fare, he’d jet to Rome and argue Pope Benedict XVI into abject surrender. Sola scriptura, sola scriptura.

Dominus vobiscum, y’all.

There are people on this thread that think it is the official position of the Catholic Church that St Paul was crazy because of a Catholic Freeper's opinion.
