I'd like to "hear" some of the other Calvinists comment on this. ~ CS

ksen has mistated what Calvin said in Chapter 5. The Lord does have a clear revelation of Himself in the Creation. It accomplishes exactly what He intends, despite the man, whose nature is to suppress the knowledge of God. It leaves man without excuse.

Chapter V. Part 1. Section 4
Whether they will or not, they cannot but know that these are proofs of his Godhead, and yet they inwardly suppress them. They have no occasion to go farther than themselves, provided they do not, by appropriating as their own that which has been given them from heaven, put out the light intended to exhibit God clearly to their minds.

I think that's the part of Chapter V we're looking at. Right ksen?

The light was "intended to exhibit God" (we must assume intended by God) but man thwarts that. Am I reading you right ksen?

In other news, have we seen ANY reference to scripture yet? I've not read all six thoroughly, but still...
