Answering Unitarians: Special Delivery #8

Posted on October 27, 2011 by Tom Lemke

Socinian unitarians love to throw out the execution of Michael Servetus in debates with Trinitarians.  They maintain that John Calvin “brutally murdered” Servetus, and somehow (I have yet to figure out how) believe that this is an argument in favor … Continue reading →
