Bullcrap. Consider the history of the church. St. Paul the Persecutor. St. Peter the coward. St. Augustine the Playboy. Constantine the Arian. Philandering popes. The church has always been a hospital of sinners - sinners who repented and tried their best to serve God. Is it entirely implausible that Calvin did the same thing?

Bingo!

The bible never puts bandages over the warts of Gods men.

Jesus did not come for the righteous but for sinners, as scripture tells us those that are forgiven much love much, those that are forgiven little love little .

God has always used "cracked" pots so His light will shine through the cracks.Those that think their worth to God rests in their own righteousness and not Gods grace and mercy have not yet heard the good news.

I suspect that the "information" on Calvin was written by a papist with an ax to grind. Slander does not speak to the truth of the doctrine of Grace, God himself is witness to that !
