  1. Garth's Honey WagonFlatrockwhiz Hey, Garth, I laughed out loud. So few words, so many memories, sounds, smells, ...
  2. FaltrockwhizCalvin in a small Cup Clavin in a cup This might help you understand Calvin. After Luther's death, Calvin was hired to go from his home in France to Genieva (? might not have the right city). His job there was to write a theology that could be used for the purpose of establishing that city as a not-Roman theocratic city-state. Sure, it sounds cultish--because it is. That was the guy's whole gig. To set up a closed-culture city with an irreproachable government that saw no particular reason to fight with or against other cities. It would be the city indwelt by predestined, true believers. Think of it as the Rock of Ages with cobblestones and wooden huts instead of mud and tents. The proof that we are the only predestined, true believers is the fact that we are here, in the city of God. The proof that "they" are not true believers is the fact that they're not here. There ya go--Calvin in an espresso cup. FaltrockwhizCalvin in a small Cup Clavin in a cup This might help you understand Calvin.
