Like I said you have ZERO clue. You are about as spiritual as a Roman Catholic.

John Calvin was none of those things, he played by the rules of the time and did what he felt was necessary. You all's self-righteous platitudes don't help you at all- the Reformers throughout a lot of the world, and you and every other Darbyist are threatened by it so you go and run that jaw until your cheek could shave an apple.

He approved murder on theological grounds.
Why do we believe Paul?
Probably because he fabricated the idea that Jesus was the Messiah, son of God and that he had resurrected.
Read Acts 9:20 and II Timothy 2:8. That's one reason. The other is that you find easier to walk by faith than
to walk by sight. (II Cor. 5:7) To walk by sight you ought to have a mind of your own and try to understand
where you walk. To walk by faith, you simply leave the understanding with Paul.

You are mentally deranged. No, that was NOT what I was referring to.Are you referring to Paul's claim that Jesus appeared to 500 brethren?
I find this claim troubling since Jesus only had 120 followers in the upper room when they received the Holy Spirit.
I congregate with the true believers.
Hahahaha.... you've got issues. Seek help immediately.Acts 12:16-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
But Peter continued knocking; and when they had opened the door, they saw him and were amazed. 17 But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison. And he said, “Report these things to James and the brethren.” Then he left and went to another place.
Obviously Peter believed James was the head man that required a "REPORT"
Spoken like to true "believer". Peter's disappearance is quite significant and yet you try to make it nothing with a wave of your magic wand.MADists have an obsession with conceiving alleged disappearing acts in the Bible.
Peter 'disappears' in Acts, the Church 'disappears' in Revelation..
It's basically what crumbles MAD, because it shows how much they've fundamentally altered biblical interpretation.
Reality doesn't have any effect on them- they'll simply deny Peter's existence in Rome, among a myriad of other things. It's a complete revision of history.

And it is NOTABLE that IMMEDIATELY thereafter, Luke begins accompanying Paul and his group INSTEAD of Peter and the eleven.

So what you are now? A Reformed Roman Catholic?
Peter in Rome? Now who's the revisionist?
P.S. Please feel free to give us the "orthodox majority view" of these significant of these events.
I gave a clear answer. It appears that both you and Lilstu don't like real answers.As usual, about 80% of this thread are personal attacks or irrelevant. I haven't seen one clear answer: "Why do you believe Paul?"
As I said earlier, the only reason that look possible to me (as an outsider), is that it is Church tradition. Which is a bit circular, since it is Paul's church.
Anybody here have a clear answer to the OP?
Spoken like a true double-talker.The Reformists never denied Peter in Rome, as that was, and still is, accepted history. Like the Greeks, the Reformists saw that while Peter's seat had high sentiment, it had no special authority.
You all's denial of Peter in Rome is just a part of your complete nonsense. It goes to show how utterly heretical you all really are
You just continue to flaunt your stupidity.Question....Is Babylon the Great really Rome?
If so.....
1 Peter 5:13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and so does my son, Mark.
Is Peter really referring to Rome when he identifies that he is in Babylon?
Ananais and Saphira.... heretics? Are you trying to be as ignorant as Cruc?
OT
I can think of two whole cities where God killed every heretic in both towns !
1. Sodom
2. Gomorrah
NT
Ananais and Saphira
Guilt by false association.... the hallmark of a good "Christian".Your dispensations are nonsense. Keep defending fantasy.
Taking down heretics in Calvin's time saved lives. Your culture kills to keep it's cars oiled.
Anything to justify his sins.John Calvin was none of those things, he played by the rules of the time and did what he felt was necessary.
