Your remarks about Calvinism are shallow and mean spirited.

Obviously, you have never read The Westminter Confession, the Heidelberg Confession, or The Canons of Dort.

Why don't you educate yourself better before presenting yourself as knowledgeable about The Reformed Faith?

They don’t have too. They figure if they continue the lies long enough, somebody might believe it.

Welcome to the discussion.

I think that you are starting off on the wrong foot stating that I have never read the WCF. I have posted numerous posts not only quoting them, but analyzing them from a Biblical perspective.

I appreciate that as an aggresive Calvinist that settled America, you have the upper hand as to salvation theology. However, it does not deter from the posts that I have made in terms of Reformed theology being hateful, wrong, errant, despotic, odious, unBiblical, and, well, appealing only to those that sit around and assure themselves that they are the only worthy ones. Kinda like the high school Student Council once they get out into the real world.

My knowledge comes from the WCF as well as informed posters. Feel free. There is much wisdom to learn at the altar of Calvin. For instance, the WCF states:

CHAPTER XXV.
Of the Church
...
VI. There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ. Nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense, be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalts himself, in the Church, against Christ and all that is called God.


We Catholics proclaim that the Head of the Church is Jesus Christ. We understand that the Servant of the Servants of God is the human leader of the Church of Jesus Christ on earth.

We also understand that Saint Calvin (Peace Be Upon Him) has proclaimed that the successor of St. Peter is the AntiChrist.

Given these opposing ideas, and given that the WCF does not stand up to scrutiny upon theological investigation, and given that Saint Calvin (Peace Be Upon Him) was a theological thug, murderer, despot and tyrant, and the WCF is a witches’ brew of lies, deceit and oppression, then you may be pleased to understand that I consider myself reasonably acquainted with the WCF, its tenets and ramifications, and the consequences of its pronouncements.

The Reformed Faith is a resurrection of three major and possibly several minor heresies. I’d suggest that you acquaint yourself with them before you become too submerged into it.
