I think a better case could be made that the Calvinist God is a throwback to a tribal god (as I suppose you could say the Muslim God is).

How does either differ from the OT God?

“”How does either differ from the OT God?””

The OT is a lot of “anti types” of God that shows what God is not.

The NT reveals Christ -who God really is -which is unmovable love

The OT is incomplete without Christ and the Church

It differs in being retrograde, so to speak: the OT God is the God of Israel, but always, with hints, glimpses, promises, moving toward a day when all the nations would worship Him. From the earliest days, the Church understood itself as being meant for all men -- it was just a question of reaching them.

Islam is retrograde too -- in its own way, though it at least allows for conversion into the "tribe," even if it's enforced by the sword.

St.FA - There is no misconceptions,fk. Calvin’s belief in double predestination is a dualistic God/

I rather like that Kosta, thank you. The Calvinist God is unlike the Latin God because the Calvinist God is like the God of the OT. I love it! :)
