That was only one of the many lies told by Calvin to rationalize his perversion of the Revealed Word of God. Jesus came to bring His message to the outcast and disenfranchised; the very "multitude" and "crowds" he addressed in the Beatitudes.
Jesus wasn't preaching to the multitudes in the Sermon on the Mount.
Matthew 5:1-2 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him. And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:
Luke 6:20 And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
In both places, it clearly says that Jesus was speaking to His disciples.
That was only one of the many lies told by Calvin to rationalize his perversion of the Revealed Word of God. Jesus came to bring His message to the outcast and disenfranchised; the very "multitude" and "crowds" he addressed in the Beatitudes.
Why do you imagine the "outcast and disenfranchised" were not believers? That's awfully elist of you.
