911:Jean Calvin

From Wikicompany

Eric Jon Phelps on John Calvin and the burning of Michael Servetus:

"Geneva was a refuge for the escapees of Rome's Inquisiton raging all across Europe. Geneva had to be destroyed or that "abomination of Calvinism," which was the backbone of the Reformation, would continue to overthrow the pope's Holy Roman Empire and Vatican Empire.

Servetus was warned not to come to Geneva because the leaders of Geneva knew that he was sent to overthrow the republic via heresy. Again, that heresy was the basis for the overthrow of that free republic in Geneva. The Jesuits knew this as did the Calvinist Reformed leaders in the city.

Servetus arrived in Geneva despite the warnings and knowing full well he was sent to destroy the republic by the Jesuit-Armenian doctrines he preached as well as his trinity-denying, Unitarian heresies. Thus, he was executed for attempting to overthrow the government of Geneva via his Jesuit heresies calculated to do so by his masters in Spain.

Geneva was a sovereign free city at the time and it forbade the entrance of Servetus into their jurisdiction. This is called self government. When he entered the city he sealed his own fate. HIs blood was on his own head. He had been warned and Calvin had already personally refuted his claims with Scripture when in France.

Calvin himself had to flee France as he was a condemned heretic. He had finished his Institutes at 27 and dedicated the work to the King of France---his king. He was an exile in a foreign city that was targeted for annihilation by Rome. He knew Servetus was Rome's agent for this temporal annihilation of thousands of Protestants who had escaped the fire and sword of the Dominicans' Holy Office. All the children would have been deprived of their parents and possibly put to the sword as was done to the Calvinist children in Holland and France and later in Ireland.

Without the doctrines of grace as set forth in Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion, there is no Dutch Republic, no Covenanters of Scotland, no Commonwealth of England under Cromwell and no Federal Republic of these United States of America. There is no freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, or freedom of the press for either one of you.

The Bill of Rights was written by a Baptist Calvinist named James Madison. The treatise that was the foundation for the form of the United States Constitution was written by a Presbyterian Calvinist, Peletiah Webster, and the Declaration of Independence was copied in several places from the Mecklenburg Declaration written by Presbyterian Calvinists of Mechlenburg County of North Carolina.

Futher, it was French Calvinists who gave us the Greek New Testament that was the foundation for the AV1611, Robert Stephens (1550 text) and Theodore Beza (1598 text). It was Calvinists who gave us the Geneva Bible and the AV1611. It was Calvinists were were put to death by Rome more than any other Christian sect.

The lone Servetus was put to death for sedition as he sought to overthrow the city of Protestant Calvinist Geneva. There was no Protestant doctrine that demanded the death of any heretic in any confession of faith---ever. So why was Servetus put to death? He was rightly put to death for his sedition as he was a Jesuit seeking to fulfill the Order's quest of destroying the Reformation---Geneva at time being the heart of the Reformation.

Please reconsider your conclusion and read Calvin's Institutes before you call him an unbeliever and a murderer."
