Genuine Historical Calvinism (1)

[The following brief discussion took place on a Calvinist internet forum in December of 2006. It will be slightly edited for the purpose of readability.] Chris, You make some interesting points on your new web sight (http://www.calvinism.us/intro.htm), but it also raises a few questions.

John Hooper (1495-1555) affirmed that Christ died ‘for the love of us poor and miserable sinners, whose place he occupied upon the cross, as a pledge, or one that represented [...]

“Some things hard to understand”

Some comments by Heinrich Bullinger on Scripture (not a blanket-endorsement of Bullinger): “Neither do we read that the prophets and apostles, the servants of God and interpreters of his high and everlasting wisdom, did use any strange kind of speech: so that in the whole pack of writers none can be found to excel them [...]

My chat with the Luther-Reformed group.

Around mid October of 2006 I posted the following to the Luther-reformed group: Do you think you know what Genuine Historical Calvinism is? You might be surprised. Chris Duncan http://www.calvinism.us/ Chris: I did get some responses to the above post. I also responded to some of these responses. I did not get booted from the [...]
