As to his teaching on 'election', Terry, Calvin does indeed 'suck'. I wholeheartedly concur. Take great care however, not to commit the 'baby/bathwater' thingy with respect to Monieur Calvin though. It is usually those who've read nothing of Calvin that speak most harshly of him (and I don't refer to the internet).

I know my God better than that.  Calvin sucks. Terry
