I’m completely unworthy from beginning to end.

“Would he thank the servant because he did what he what he was told to do? So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants: we have only done our duty.’”

Yes, the Calvinist is arrogant in his humility. Kinda reminds me of the lines from Weird Al Yankovic’s Amish Paradise:

Think you’re really humble? Think you’re pure in heart?
Well I know that I’m a million times as humble as thou art.

Calvin also got it wrong interpreting bondservant or indentured servant versus involuntary slave. Even Saint Paul says explicitly that it is possible to lose his own salvation, which then presupposes that that condition applies to all humanity. I suppose that this would mean that the predestination crowd are up the creek without a Calvin. If they actually paid attention to all of Scripture and not just selected snippet of Paul and the OT.
