Not a Calvinist, but got to ask: Is it fitting for ANY Christian to adopt the so-called “theology of a man,” especially since he murdered an Egyptian servant? (Moses)

Yes; Moses was a true prophet; Calvin, et. al. were neither true prophets nor true apostles.

And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

...

And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.

...

And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

Both are filters for Christian truth...even as their degrees for accurately unveiling that truth vary. So unless you label Calvin an outright “false prophet,” then you agree with me he was used by God as a filter for truth in his generation (and beyond). If you so agree, then my parallel comparison to Moses stands. If, on the other hand, you deem him a false prophet...then since he’s been around for centuries, you must have dozens from the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries who wrote saying as much with specific evidence to boot. No, you don’t have that? Then you’re just a Johnny-come-theological-lately minor opinion monger with an ahistorical minute opinion being offered up.

And out of ALL of them; how many thrust into the Leadership position of Catholicism have been TRUE popes?
