You're still in error. The first time I was quoting something someone else had written without reference to anything you had written. How do I know this? Because I had not read your post that you mistakenly and persistently continue to believe that I was misquoting. The second time I was quoting your entire post, reproduced below with both headers and footers.

Dr. Eckleburg to Cronos; aruanan

And of course they believe that Christianiy [sic]=Calvinism ONLY

You've misstated me [sic] post again.

I, nor anyone here, has written the word "only" in that sentence. Only you.

Do either of you believe Roman Catholicism = Christianity?

Are you ashamed of your beliefs?

As far as the original subject of it all is concerned, it's more than obvious that Calvinists as a group (as well as its founder) consider the circle representing Calvinism to perfectly overlap the circle representing Christianity (as I've demonstrated multiple times in a previous post). If not, they wouldn't characterize Roman Catholics, and everyone else not Calvinist but claiming to be Christian, as heretics and have felt themselves justified numerous times over the past few centuries in Europe in persecuting them, outlawing them, jailing them, confiscating their property, and even taking their lives in the name of their version of Christianity. Just as a reminder, let me provide you a quote from the leader of the pack in his Defense of the Orthodox Belief of the Sacred Trinity against the Prodigious Errors of Michael Servetus.

"Whoever shall maintain that wrong is done to heretics and blasphemers in punishing them makes himself an accomplice in their crime and guilty as they are. There is no question here of man's authority; it is God who speaks, and clear it is what law he will have kept in the church, even to the end of the world. Wherefore does he demand of us a so extreme severity, if not to show us that due honor is not paid him, so long as we set not his service above every human consideration, so that we spare not kin, nor blood of any, and forget all humanity when the matter is to combat for His glory." as quoted in History of Political Thought in the Sixteenth Century, J.W. Allen, London, 1951, p. 87.

Again, no, I didn't add anything to your statement at all. I see now that it wasn't Cronos I was quoting, but YOUR quote of Cronos's quote.
