One Cannot Follow Calvin and Christ Too!

Calvinists treat those who do not agree with them as less than them. There is arrogance wrapped up in the theology of Calvinism.

Sadly too, they don't even realize they are following a man who was steeped in Catholicism even though he left that system. Calvin's favorite writer was Augustine, a ruthless Catholic bishop who never left the Catholic church.

When someone says they are a Calvinist they are saying they follow that man instead of Christ. One cannot follow Calvin first and then Christ second. If they followed Christ alone they would never bring up the name of Calvin.

1 Corinthians 3:3-5 "…3 for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man? 4 For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men? 5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.…"

For someone to say they are a Calvinist they are violating scripture by following a man. One cannot be a Christian and a Calvinist too! If someone says I follow Calvin then they are not following Christ.
