Maybe, but that’s not saying much. Calvin would lead the charge against anyone but Calvin.

As is so often the case, it's at least an improvement over Luther. Just as Luther was more Calvinist than Calvin by advancing the "absolute necessity" fallacy, Luther called Islam the "Scourge of God" but went on to say he would prefer to be ruled by Turks than by a Catholic King, that he agreed with Islam on divorce and polygamy, and that if a simple statement was sufficient to have the Turks accept you as a Muslim then a simple statement should suffice for Christians to accept someone as having become Christian. So, another instance of when Luther based his doctrines on something other than Scripture while at the same time pretending that it was Scripture alone that dictated his doctrines. One of these days a lot of people are going to find out that the Koran and Virgil aren't in the Bible and they're going to be really upset with Martin about a few things.

Regards

Calvin wouldn’t be leading any charges; he’d get someone else to do it for him just like he did we he orchestrated the murder of Servitus.
