"Inflammatory wording is used throughout the article."

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

The question in my mind is, are the basic facts correct?

If the basic facts are correct, but the rest is incorrect, where does that leave the piece?

IMO, it belongs in the trash can.

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.

It is history bent to sway opinion, such as, "The agressive Americans viciously slaughtered thousands of Japanese civilians when they violently dropped the Atomic Bomb on these innocent victims".

Note the Calvinist reaction to the article.

It is cultish

They cannot deal with the facts, so they try to denounce it as 'anti-Calvinistic' propaganda.

The real issue isn't Servetus but the teachings of Calvin which do go against the character of God.
