Evolution v Creationism

[Incongruous]

Worse a Puritan Calvinist, so his God only loves some people, or loves some more than others.

I'm fuzzy on Heretical teachings (), but what?

How is this even justified by the ministry of Jesus? Where on earth did Jesus procalim that?

Calvin decided that since God was all powerful then EVERYTHING must be according to his direct will. Ergo, evil acts must be something God ordained as part of his Divine Plan.

Further, God decides who he wants to save and inflicts upon them his "Special Grace" which compels them to love him, as opposed to "Common Grace" which is what everyone else gets, does not allow them to love God, condemns them to Hell, but makes their Earthly life bearable.

Such is Calvinism.

I read about Calivinist thought during my Humanities class and I also checked on him during my ethics class. I'm struggling to remember but... wasn't he really into the fire and brimstone kind of sermons? Or am I mixing him up with someone.

You know, I'm going to look him up right now. He was interesting to say the least, and not in a positive way as I recall.

Yeah I think you're right, I seem to remember a section on John Calvin when I had to take Theology in School. Even the Catholics thought he was a bit extreme, and this was during the Witch Hunt Era.
