Well Pilgrim I have a lot to think about.

I don't think anyone is above question and that includes John Calvin, so let me ask you one last question (again) - was he a legalist? (all bowling aside - if that's even true or not).

Thanks Pilgrim

If I come across to forceful I apologize. I am an outspoken, emotional Italian who asks a lot of questions in search of clarifications - every now and then I realize I need to take much of my confusion to the Lord!

I'm gonna PM you about Beeke
