I disagree with Calvin's commentary.

Calvin based his response on the writings of the early church father Chrysostom. Are you disagreeing with the traditions handed down by the early church fathers? You are interpreting scripture. You know this makes you a Protestant.

LOL!!! I highly doubt that Calvin based anything on the Church Fathers, unless he found it convenient to take someone's words out of context to show the "unanimous Christian tradition" on such things as no free will! As for me, I am just using common sense and the understanding of the analogy of faith. I haven't read St. John Chrysostom's interpretation of it - you didn't post that. I would like to read it, if you have it. At any rate, I don't think my interpretation is at odds with the Church, which makes one a Protestant, not interpretating Scripture period! A Protester is one who protests the Church's interpretation on Scripture.

Regards
