Hmm, I took what Calvin said a little differently. I thought he may have been saying that Man has the need to worship God, but due to our warped view of God, because of sin, we CANNOT worship the True God, only our pale caricatures of Him.

I would say that is accurate..man does have a "need" to worship ...the question is (as I see it??) as Cain shows us we want it on our terms ..thus the gods of mans own making...

I am not sure if we are looking at flip sides of the same coin ??

Ok, so does Man having a "need" to worship the True God (but not being able to do so because of sin) have any implication for the Calvinist's statement that the Unregenerate Man is at war with God?
