Calvinism Quotes

“It is a sovereignty of the people therefore, which is
perfectly identical with atheism. And herein lies its self-abasement. In the
sphere of Calvinism, as also in your Declaration, the knee is bowed to
God, while over against man the head is proudly lifted up. But here, from
the standpoint of the sovereignty of the people, the fist is defiantly
clenched against God, while man grovels before his fellowmen, tinseling
over this self-abasement by the ludicrous fiction that, thousands of years
ago, men, of whom no one has any remembrance, concluded a political
contract, or, as they called it, “Contrat Social.”
― Abraham Kuyper, Calvinism: The Stone Lectures

“Sin has, in the
realm of politics, broken down the direct government of God, and
therefore the exercise of authority for the purpose of government, has
subsequently been invested in men, as a mechanical remedy.”
― Abraham Kuyper, Calvinism: The Stone Lectures

“The real,
heavenly, invisible Church must manifest itself in the earthly Church. If
not, you will have a society, but no church.”
