Calvin’s perception of God would also make God a monster who cherry picks from humanity those He wants to be a member of His exclusive country club, while consigning the rest to hell. If that’s the type of God you want to serve, then have at it. I choose to believe in a God who’s not quite the megamaniacal crackhead you calvinists make him out to be.

Calvin’s theology centered on the sovereignty of God in every area of life, no matter how insignificant it may appear. He taught, more than others, that our salvation is solely and wholly through the grace of God ministered to us by the Holy Spirit. Such knowledge must surely humble us to the dust, and cause us to want to serve the Lord with all our heart and soul.

Sin is the act of annoying the piss out of me by trying to shove irritating heresies up my blog’s ass.

Any other questions? No? That’s a good boy.

What do you believe sin is?

Nathan,

That only refers to fellow “brethen.” You however are nothing but a troll to me.

By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. (John 13:35)

Nathan,

You are a first class moron.

Love,
