Thus why you fail... silly child!
Going to have to go with silly Wikipedia because your to lazy to actually do some research!!!
Michael Servetus (
/sərˈviːtəs/;
[1] Spanish:
Miguel Serveto as real name;
French:
Michel Servet; also known as
Miguel Servet,
Miguel de Villanueva,
Revés, or
Michel de Villeneuve; 29 September 1509 or 1511 – 27 October 1553) was a Spanish
theologian,
physician,
cartographer, and
Renaissance humanist.
He was the first European to correctly describe the function of pulmonary circulation, as discussed in
Christianismi Restitutio (1553). He was a
polymath versed in many sciences:
mathematics,
astronomy and
meteorology,
geography, human
anatomy,
medicine and
pharmacology, as well as
jurisprudence,
translation,
poetry, and the
scholarly study of the Bible in its original languages.
He is renowned in the history of several of these fields, particularly medicine. He participated in the Protestant
Reformation, and later rejected the
Trinity doctrine and mainstream Catholic
Christology. After being condemned by
Catholic authorities in
France, he fled to
Calvinist Geneva where he was denounced by Calvin and burned at the stake for
heresy by order of the city's governing council.
Calvin believed Servetus deserved death because of what Calvin termed, "execrable blasphemies".
[34] Calvin expressed these sentiments in a letter to
Farel, written about a week after Servetus' arrest, in which he also mentioned an exchange with Servetus. Calvin wrote:
...after he [Servetus] had been recognized, I thought he should be detained. My friend
Nicolas summoned him on a capital charge, offering himself as a security according to the
lex talionis. On the following day he adduced against him forty written charges. He at first sought to evade them. Accordingly we were summoned. He impudently reviled me, just as if he regarded me as obnoxious to him. I answered him as he deserved... of the man’s effrontery I will say nothing; but such was his madness that he did not hesitate to say that devils possessed divinity; yea, that many gods were in individual devils, inasmuch as a deity had been substantially communicated to those equally with wood and stone. I hope th
at sentence of death will at least be passed on him; but I desired that the severity of the punishment be mitigated.
[35]
Thus back to my past post... Calvin wanted him DEAD... but just less violent... Sure Servetus was happy about that!!!
Wikipedia continues... At his trial, Servetus was condemned on two counts for spreading and preaching
Nontrinitarianism, specifically,
Modalistic Monarchianism (or
Sabellianism) and anti-
paedobaptism (anti-infant baptism).
[32]
- So Michael Servetus was murdered because he Rejected the Trinity and Infant Baptism..... What an EVIL Man.... How many here reject Infant Baptism???? Watch out as reformed1689 will have you burned at the forum stake... for such beliefs... forget what Jesus said... Love your enemies... reformed1689 teaches.... burn your Nontrinitarianism and non Infant Baptism enemies... They hold such evil views....
