Therefore, they who assume to be philosophers without Religion, and who, by speculating, so act as to remove God and all sense of piety far from them, will one day feel the force of the expression of Paul, related by Luke, that God has never left himself without witness, (Acts 14:17.) For they shall not be permitted to escape with impunity because they have been deaf and insensible to testimonies so illustrious. - Calvin's Commentaries (Genesis)

Mr. Calvin had this thread pegged centuries ago. Calvin has such a well-balanced and genteel approach. And just beneath his smooth smooth prose lurk the jaws of an unrelenting logic. I really will have to start examining Calvin's Commentaries for his readings of the Old Testament as well.

I still get a little dizzy when I see Wesleyans quote Calvin. But it's a nice surprise. Maybe O.P. (Opie?) would like to comment on this thread as well...

Actually I thought "Cal" had been lurking on FR for some time before penning this..a timeless truth.

A bible study at MY church used a Calvin Commentary for Jude..with the comment that spiritual conditions at the time of Calvin were in some ways similar to ours..so his observations are applicable

I think Opie is busy settling his cat into his new surroundings :>)
