don't see anything objectionable in Book 1, Chapter 1. I was hoping more non-Calvinists would get involved, read what Calvin actually wrote, and then we could discuss Calvin's actual words.......in context even.

Most of what Calvin wrote in his Institutes is not objectionable.

It is when you get to Book 3 chapter 21 that you get to the heart of his system, Sovereign Election 'Of the Eternal Election,by Which God has Predestinated Some to Salvation, and Others to Destruction' to see the real heresies in Calvinism.

This site has a very good article on the two systems titled 'Calvin and Arminius', you might want to check it out.

to see the real heresies in Calvinism.

Already seen em, thats why there is no reason to talk about em, it just gives them a platform to scream from, mark em, and move on.
