Reformers and Early Church Fathers were Primitive and Violent People. John Calvin and Martin Luther were completely fine having individuals publicly executed for disagreeing with their doctrines. The “early church fathers” had no problem pronouncing eternal judgment on people who disagreed with their doctrines and also using violence to enforce their beliefs. Those who used violence to enforce doctrine in the first century were exclusively the bad guys so it is of the highest level of irony that once Christianity attained to power, it also resorted to violence. Let us learn the lessons of the past and greet each other with love and patience, allowing for the Holy Spirit to lead us in growth toward Yahweh and His Son.
