Re ppsimmons: The TRUTH about JOHN CALVIN - Is He In Hell Today?

HAPPY REFORMATION DAY!
Finally! Here is the long awaited video. Sorry for the wait. Long story short, a lot of difficulties, delays, and work went into making this video. Hope its to your liking. :) Sorry that it is all text. The original plan was to film video, but it didn't work out. (I am painfully camera shy and I ended up with hours of unusable video lol). Sorry for the time the text goes by too fast. Please pause if needed or activate annotations :) MORE could actually be said but almost 20 minutes is sorta lengthy as is. :)
I have a HUGE list of sources available upon request, I would put them in the description but YT says its too long...so this is a partial list.

Calvins Letter to Frellon (in full):
This letter is dated Feb. 13, 1546, under his well-known pseudonym of Charles Despeville, and is as follows:—

"Seigneur Jehan, As your last letter was brought to me on my departure, I had no leisure to reply to the enclosure it contained. After my return I use the first moment of my leisure to comply with your desire; not indeed that I have any great hope of proving serviceable to such a man, seeing him disposed as I do. But I will try once more, if there be any means left of bringing him to reason, and this will happen when God shall have so wrought in him that he has become altogether another man. Since he has written to me in so proud a spirit, I have been led to write to him more sharply than is my wont, being minded to take him down a little in his presumption.10771077 "Je luy ay bien voulu rabbatre un petit de son orgueil, parlant àluy plus durement que ma coustume ne porte." But I could not do otherwise. For I assure you there is no lesson he needs so much to learn as humility. This must come to him through the grace of God, not otherwise. But we, too, ought to lend a helping hand. If God give such grace to him and to us that the present answer will turn to his profit, I shall have cause to rejoice. If he persists, however, in the style he has hitherto seen fit to use, you will only lose your time in soliciting me further in his behalf; for I have other affairs that concern me more nearly, and I shall make it a matter of conscience not to busy myself further, not doubting that he is a Satan who would divert me from more profitable studies. Let me beg of you, therefore, to be content with what I have already done, unless you see occasion for acting differently."

Frellon sent this letter to Villeneuve by a special messenger, together with a note in which be addresses him as his "dear brother and friend."

@tgillspy2 no, the proof is that he wasn't, where's YOUR proof?

[7eliyahu]

Salvation is open to all who want to be saved and accept Gods gracious offer, not just a few, as stated in Matthew 22:8-9, you are a false prophet like your leader John Calvin and you will have to answer the charge at the time of judgement. The teachings of Calvin are not the same as that of Christ.

[innocenceagain]

@7eliyahu Salvation IS open to all who want Salvation. I don't deny that. Christ turns no one who comes away. But who hears His voice and comes? The sheep. The elect. Calvin is not Christ. I never said he was, or that he was infallible.

[tgillspy2]

@innocenceagain Calvin was a tyrant.....

[SAUNDERSacts2618]

Nice,this was really good!!!!!

[lapkine77]

@innocenceagain BOOOOOTH MUAHAHAHA !!! XD

[innocenceagain]

@lapkine77 =p but...but...Calvin moved to Geneva and became a citizen and then sent missionaries to France (Huguenots were some of my ancestors), and elsewhere. So Calvins influence was great!....is that a sign of French control, or was it just predestined? :p

You know I'm just messin'. :)

[lapkine77]

@innocenceagain You are under our influence, admit it ;)

[innocenceagain]

@lapkine77 Not surprising, my friend. =p This video mostly deals with the historical aspect, theologically we just HAD to touch on the blatant inaccuracies. (I LOLed at the thought of Calvin 'forcing' election onto people, I must admit :p). It's one thing to disagree with our theology, and a completely different thing to misrepresent it.

Yes. Yes. French he was. :D 

[lapkine77]

@innocenceagain Theological contention I am afraid. But I think that historical accuracy is more important. Besides, Calvin was french :P
