You just demonstrated why I am reluctant to post anything in response to you: Rampant speculation of motives, among other reasons.

I was responding to your statement in post 1420:

“Calvin decided we do not have free will, that all is predestined, including the fall of some whom God created predestined to damnation.

“Does that sound like the God of Christianity?”

You infer what you will - I was not implying what you allege; merely pointing out that the comment you attribute to Calvin has Biblical basis. sigh

Everything he said had Biblical basis of a kind. The essence of misinterpretation of Scripture is starting from a basis in Scripture and drawing a conclusion not supported thereby.

As I said, though, no one should take my word for it. Read up on it. Start with the Wikipedia article, follow the links, do your own homework.

I was not “speculating” about motives. Quite the opposite. I demonstrated logically why my conclusion follows obviously from your words.
