How do you describe burning people at the stake without using inflammatory wording?

Do you understand that 1) that was the practice of the day (to burn or kill heretics?) 2) Do you realize that had he come into a Catholic city he would have befelled the same fate?

Serveus was guilty of sedition. It was his plan to take over the city of Geneva and promote his apostate doctrine as the head of the government

The death of Servus was decided by the city officals , not Calvin

Servus was warned by Calvin of the danger of coming to Geneva before he came

One of the things I love is that God can and does use imperfect and sinful vessals to do His work.

I think of the murderer Moses and the murderer David as two clear examples.

Now, now Mom, let's be fair to David. He only ordered the hit on Urriah the Hittite... he didn't actually murder him. (tongue out of cheek) LOL!

"Do you understand that"

Burn...inflamatory...that's a joke, son. Ah say, a joke.

"Serveus was guilty of sedition. It was his plan to take over the city of Geneva and promote his apostate doctrine as the head of the government"

That's the sort of information I was asking for.

"The death of Servus was decided by the city officals , not Calvin"

And that.

"One of the things I love is that God can and does use imperfect and sinful vessals to do His work."

Catholic and protestant alike, our God is an amazing God.

"I think of the murderer Moses"

Okay, you got me on that one. I can't remember a murder committed by Moses.
