What teaching authority does any religious leader/Pope/preacher/priest, etc have? Heck, by the grace of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, I have been commanded to go teach the Gospel. Are you telling me that I can’t teach the Good News???? What gives you the right to declare who or who can’t teach????

Some type of tradition mumbo-jumbo coupled with the torturing of Bible verses.

"All are not created on equal terms, but some are preordained to eternal life, others to eternal damnation; and, accordingly, as each has been created for one or other of these ends, we say that he has been predestinated to life or to death."
John Calvin Institutes of Christian Religion Book III CH 21
Please don't waste your time citing 500 vague examples of how Calvin isn't actually saying what he is clearly saying: some animals are more equal than others. No thanks. You can keep it.
