John Calvin

1. John Calvin was logical and courageous enough to take Martin Luther's "sola fide" to its logical conclusion, but unfortunately he was not wise enough to reject it when that conclusion turned out to be double predestination. (2/12/12)
2. "I have never seen either a drop of piety or a grain of truth or ingenuousness – nay, I have never found common sense in any Jew." -John Calvin (1/31/13)
3. ‎"All are not created on equal terms, but some are preordained to eternal life, others to eternal damnation; and, accordingly, as each has been created for one or other of these ends, we say that he has been predestined to life or to death."- John Calvin (Institutes, III.21.5 Beveridge translation) (1/31/13)
