Iets oor die onverdraagsaamheid van Calvyn vir jou:
-----------------------------------------
Calvin's Reign of Terror
After some negotiation, Ami Perrin, commissioner for Geneva, persuaded
Calvin to return. He did so, though unwillingly, on September 13,
1541. His entry was modest. Geneva was a church-city-state of 15,000
people, and the church constitution now recognized "pastors, doctors,
elders and deacons," but the supreme power was given to the
magistrate, John Calvin. In November 1552, the Council declared
Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion to be a "holy doctrine
which no man might speak against." Thus the State issued dogmatic
decrees, the force of which had been anticipated earlier, as when
Jacques Gruet, a known opponent of Calvin, was arrested, tortured for
a month and beheaded on July 26, 1547, for placing a letter in
Calvin's pulpit calling him a hypocrite. Gruet's book was later found
and burned along with his house while his wife was thrown out into the
street to watch. Gruet's death was more highly criticized by far than
the banishment of Castellio or the penalties inflicted on Bolsec --
moderate men opposed to extreme views in discipline and doctrine, who
fell under suspicion as reactionary. Calvin did not shrink from his
self-appointed task. Within five years fifty-eight sentences of death
and seventy-six of exile, besides numerous committals of the most
eminent citizens to prison, took place in Geneva. The iron yoke could
not be shaken off. In 1555, under Ami Perrin, a revolt was attempted.
No blood was shed, but Perrin lost the day, and Calvin's theocracy
triumphed. John Calvin had secured his grip on Geneva by defeating the
very man, Ami Perrin, commissioner of Geneva, who had invited him
there.

John Calvin - Catholic Encyclopedia
Calvin forced the citizens of Geneva to attend church services under a
heavy threat of punishment. Since Calvinism falsely teaches that God
forces the elect to believe, it is no wonder that Calvin thought he
could also force the citizens of Geneva to all become the elect. Not
becoming one of the elect was punishable by death or expulsion from
Geneva. Calvin exercised forced regeneration on the citizens of Geneva
because that is what his theology teaches.
Michael Servetus, a Spaniard, a physician, a scientist and a Bible
scholar was born in Villanova in 1511. He was credited with the
discovery of the pulmonary circulation of the blood from the right
chamber of the heart through the lungs and back to the left chamber of
the heart. He was Calvin's longtime friend in their earlier resistance
against the Roman Catholic Church. Servetus, while living in Vienne
(historic city in southeastern France), angered Calvin by returning a
copy of Calvin's writings, Institutes, with critical comments in the
margins. Servetus was arrested by the Roman Catholic Authorities on
April 4 but escaped on April 7, 1553. He traveled to Geneva where he
attended Calvin's Sunday preaching service on August 13. Calvin
promptly had Servetus arrested and charged with heresy for his
disagreement with Calvin's theology. The thirty-eight official charges
included rejection of the Trinity and infant baptism. Servetus was
correct in challenging Calvin's false teaching about infant baptism
leading to salvation, but he was heretical in his rejection of the
doctrine of the Trinity. Servetus pleaded to be beheaded instead of
the more brutal method of burning at the stake, but Calvin and the
city council refused the quicker death method. Other Protestant
churches throughout Switzerland advised Calvin that Servetus be
condemned but not executed. Calvin ignored their pleas and Servetus
was burned at the stake on October 27, 1553. Servetus was screaming as
he was literally baked alive from the feet upward and suffered the
heat of the flames for 30 minutes before finally succumbing to one of
the most painful and brutal death methods possible. Servetus had
written a theology book, a copy of which Calvin had strapped to the
chest of Servetus. The flames from the burning book rose against
Servetus' face as he screamed in agony.

Sowat drie ure gelede stap ek in die Mall op La Lucia
en op die grond vloer gee 'n man vir my 'n stuk papier
waarop die volgende geskryf is: (Ons het nie meer as
omtrent 'n minuut gesels nie, en ek nie 'n idee
wie hy is nie, maar hierdie woorde is baie
interessant.)
Everything needed to know about Life I Learned from Noah's Ark
1. Don't miss the boat
2. Remember we are all in the same boat!
3. Plan Ahead. (It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.)
4. Stay Fit. When you are 600 years old.
(Someone may ask you to do something really big.)
5. Don't listen to critics.
Just get on with the job that needs to be done.
6. Build your future on high ground.
7. For safety sake, travel in pairs.
8. Speed isn't always an advantage.
The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
9. When you're stressed, float awhile.
10 Remember the Ark was built by amateurs.
and the Titanic by professionals.
11 No matter the storm
When you're with God there's always a rainbow waiting.
Religion is man-made, the gospel is God-given.
Religion is man's search for God. The Gospel is God's search for man.
Religion leaves a man is he is. The Gospel makes him as he ought to
be.
Religion tends to outer reformation. The Gospel makes for inner
transformation.
Religion white washes. The Gospel washes white.
Religion is a farce. The Gospel is a force that saves from sin.
Religion is man's good views. The Gospel is God's Good News.
Religion is good advice. The Gospel is a glorious announcement.
Religion is hoping to meet God on the top rung. In the Gospel God
descends the ladder, in the incarnation of Christ and meets sinners at
the lowest rung of the cross.
The Gospel is that God loves us, that Christ died for us,
that He has risen and ascended back to heaven.
There He awaits all who will repent of their sins, believe what He did
to forgive their sins, and become followers of Him in daily life.
Have you repented and believed? Do you follow Him daily?
It is not your sins that separate you from God. It is that you have
not accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour of your life.
Jesus never said "I came that you might have 'religion' more
abundantly - but 'Life' more abundantly"
"It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to
mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry."
Ek raak toe wakker van n laatnamiddag slapie ( nadat
ons die middel van die dag met n twee-en-n-halfjarige
kleinkind intellektueel en fisies moes kompeteer) toe
sien ek net die laaste tien minute of so van die
wedstryd tussen Namibia en Frankryk. My man,
wat teen daardie tyd na sy derde rugby-wedstryd
van die dag gekyk het, was woedend oor die man
wat hulle van die veld af gestuur het, so dit was
duidelik dat hy aan Namibia se kant was toe ek
in die sitkamer kom. En toe ek die wit outjie
so sien nael, toe vertel ek vir myself, dit is
Afrikaner se kind wat daar so hol. Die Namibia
se span lyk darem vreeslik wit, vir n land met
een miljoen mense, waarvan die grootste gros
seker swart en bruin en baster is. Ek dink ek
moet bietjie met Mbeki praat oor die saak.

Nee, ek onthou van jou vorige pos dat jy 'n klomp siek gemors pos.
En hou op om aan my deur te hamer hier, ek is besig om na 'n nuwe
blaadjie om te slaan - ek het my hardeskyf geformateer en
herinstalleer alles en sal tot laat besig wees daarmee. Nou bly jy
hier aan die deur hamer en ek onthou wat jy laas gepos het, so vat
baadjie en raak weg! Jy soek geselskap.
Geluk aan die Bokke wat die Souties so gelooi het en 'n standbeeld vir
Fourie du Preez. Hulle laat mens kortasem raak oor die WB moontlikhede om
dalk die eindstryd te haal en nog te wen ook! Die belangrikste bydraende
faktor is die afwesigheid van Jean de Villiers het gemaak dat daar nou
senters is wat die lyn kan sny in 'n aanval. Francois Steyn is nog
onbederf en nie soos De Villiers en De Wet Barry se koors om vas te klou aan
elke bal en daarmee grond toe te gaan nie. Daar die era is genadiglik nou
verby. Nou moet net Jean Smith nog aanleer om 'n bal aan te gee en niemand
stop die Bokke nie.
Heelwaarskynlik merk jy ook nou al net soos ek, vele van die posstukke
'read' sonder om dit te read. Op 'n tyd was dit interessant om te sien
dat daar een brief op die nuusgroep is, en nou lees ek van 15 slelgs
5.
Wat maak jy op jou rekenaar? Seker is hier vele mense wat nie veel
meer weet as hoe om nuusgroepe oop te maak nie, maar in teenstellling
daarmee is daar ook diegene wat nuusgroepe slegs as afleiding gebruik.
Ek is een van laasgenoemde en iets wat ek een keer op jou rubriek
gelees het, laat my dink dat dit ook vir jou geld. Wat doen jy op
rekenaar? Sekerlik nie Tetris nie:-)))
Ek is oortuig daarvan dat Dave, Torreke ens. net so fundamentele moslems sou
gewees as hulle in 'n moslemland gebore en ge-indoktrineer was. Daarteenoor
sou Suidwester as 'n arabier die moslem geloof bevraagteken het en hy sou
sonder twyfel sterk deur eergenoemde twee aangeval gewees het.
Dit is 'n neiging van sommige mense om godsdienstig te wees. Hulle WEET.
Dit is baie onbehulpsaam, want sodra iemand GLO en dus WEET, hou hy op met
dink, hetsy moslem christen, hindo ens.
Die feit dat die mense geglo het die aarde is plat, was nie dat hulle stupid
was nie, maar omdat hulle gedink het hulle WEET en GEGLO het; en dan het die
Torrekes en die Daves van daardie tyd die bybel gebruik om dit te
substansieer.
