A LIST OF HISTORICAL EVENTS TO DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW SECURE CALVINISTS HAVE BEEN IN THEIR BELIEFS THROUGHOUT HISTORY...
• During Calvin’s tenure in Geneva, from 1541 to 1546, 58 people were executed (including hangings, beheadings, and burnings) and 76 were banished for offenses ranging from heresy to immorality.
• Jacques Gruet, a theological opponent, was arrested, tortured for a month, and beheaded in 1547 after placing a critical letter in Calvin’s pulpit, with Calvin influencing the magistrates to impose severe penalties.
• In France during the French Wars of Religion (1562-1598), Huguenot (Calvinist) forces sacked Catholic churches, murdered priests and nuns, and committed atrocities, including the killing of over 150 priests and monks in Montpellier alone.
• Huguenot leader Gaspard de Coligny participated in cold and vindictive cruelties against Catholic clergy and civilians, contributing to widespread violence against Catholics.
• In Puritan New England (Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1656-1661), Quakers were whipped, imprisoned, fined, and mutilated (including cutting off ears and branding) for their beliefs, with laws banning them under pain of death.
• The Boston Martyrs: Marmaduke Stephenson and William Robinson were hanged in 1659, Mary Dyer in 1660, and William Leddra in 1661, all for Quaker evangelism defying Puritan bans.
• Puritan authorities in Boston searched Quaker belongings for “erroneous books,” imprisoned arrivals like Ann Austin and Mary Fisher in 1656, and enacted laws leading to executions and expulsions.
• During Oliver Cromwell’s conquest of Ireland (1649-1650), at the Siege of Drogheda in September 1649, over 3,000 were massacred, including soldiers, civilians, priests, and those who had surrendered, with many burned alive in a church.
• Cromwell’s campaign involved ethnic cleansing, land confiscation from Irish Catholics, and transportation of survivors to indentured servitude in Barbados, with total deaths from war, famine, and disease estimated at 200,000-400,000.
• Calvinists persecuted Anabaptists across Europe, including executions by drowning, burning, and beheading; in Zurich, Felix Manz was drowned in 1527 as the first Anabaptist martyr under Zwingli’s influence.
• In the Low Countries, Calvinists executed over 2,000 Anabaptists as heretics or blasphemers before 1560, nearly double the number of mainstream Protestants burned for heresy.
• George Blaurock, an Anabaptist leader, was whipped out of Zurich, persecuted across Europe, and burned at the stake in Tyrol in 1529 by Calvinist-aligned authorities.
• Dutch Calvinists, after gaining power in the Northern Netherlands post-1572, persecuted native Catholics through repression, discrimination, and violence, including during the Eighty Years’ War.
• In the Netherlands, where the Reformed Church functioned as the privileged public church until 1795, Mennonites and other nonconformists were officially only “tolerated” rather than granted full equality, leading to ongoing restrictions on worship, civic rights, and economic freedoms enforced or encouraged by Calvinist influence.
• • After the Synod of Dort (1618–1619), which condemned Arminian (Remonstrant) theology as heretical and affirmed strict Calvinist doctrines (the “five points of Calvinism”), Remonstrant ministers and sympathizers faced severe repression: around 200 Arminian pastors were deposed from office, many were imprisoned, exiled, or forced underground, and political allies like Johan van Oldenbarnevelt were executed for treason in 1619 amid the power struggle.
IF THIS IS NOT OF SATAN, WHAT IS ??
