What kind of God does Scripture reveal? The God of Scripture is as consistent in his works as he is in his Word. He is just, merciful, good, etc. There is consistency between his claims and his person. Scripture has been given to us to reveal this God, so that we could fully depend on him and trust in him for salvation.
Amen.
OK, so far so good, right?
Then, Calvin cranks on the wheel, pulls the whole damned truck off the highway, and flies off to some random two-track on a rabbit trail. It is like he was being too nice at the first part of the chapter. He starts condemning any Polytheists. Calvin says that Scripture reveals only one true God and thus condemns any other God. Polytheists all actually worshiped one true God originally, but due to their sinful vanity, they perverted him into a multiplicity of false god. Polytheism is a corruption and a revolt against God.
Thanks, random guy.
