You are right. We should all heed the heavenly teachings of Jean Calvin who said: "Build a man a fire and you warm him for a day. Light a man on fire and you warm him for the rest of his life".
That looks to me like another trend toward replacing scripture and Christ with the teachings of a mortal. That seems to be intrinsic in the RCC mind set. It’s apparent to me that you are well entrenched in the thought pattern that if you don’t follow one mortal man then you must follow a different mortal man.
I don’t follow Calvin, Zwingli, Luther or any other so called “church father”. Calvin had a hand in the burning of Michael Servetus at the stake. The way it was arranged and done should tell anyone that Calvin certainly wasn’t someone to trust or follow.
People need to stop following the teachings of someone other then Jesus and the original inspired writers of the scriptures. Insinuating that I in any way follow Calvin, or any other, was a rather weak attempt to justify your own dependence on an earthly source.
Not all heresies begin below the belt, as Calvin showed all of us, including the good burghers of Geneva.
Why would you attribute this to Calvin? A guy named Terry Pratchett said it and he was NOT quoting Calvin either. However, if you said this was a slogan of the Jesuits, then that would probably be closer to the truth.
