To me Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. Jesus is also the Father, and he is also the Holy Spirit. He turns into different modes for different purposes, but He is one and only God.QUOTE(unknown warrior @ Aug 3 2018, 11:19 AM)
I think as Christian we need to detached from looking at people as role models....
it is biblical to hold such a detached view for a simple reason.
All human beings are flawed BUT that does not mean God cannot use flawed people. That would include John Calvin.
Even Moses killed an innocent Man, God used him still.
What Moses did has nothing to do with spreading the gospel. He committed grevious sin, and God convicted him, and which is why he ran to the desert.it is biblical to hold such a detached view for a simple reason.

Jesus asked Peter to lay down the sword when Peter tried to defend him from being captured. Now why would Jesus deviated from his teaching of love by allowing John Calvin to kill another believer for the sake of defending his gospel?

Servetus also had very unorthodox views on the end times. He believed that he was the Michael referenced in both Daniel and Revelation who would fight the Antichrist. Furthermore, he believed that all this would take place in his lifetime. This possibly explains his decision to visit Calvin in Geneva. Servetus could have thought that he was somehow bringing about the beginnings of the end times by facing those who argued and fought against him.
Character assasinations is always a norm.
