Calvin the Comedian: Are All Ordained to Eternal Life?

"Let our readers hence gather how much religion and conscience Pighius has in dealing with the holy Scripture! He then adds, from the Psalm, "The Lord is good to all" (cxlv. 9), from which he concludes that, therefore, all were ordained unto eternal life. Now, if this be true, the kingdom of heaven is open for dogs and asses!"   -- John Calvin  [Psalm 145:9].

Imagine if John Calvin were a blogger today?  Mike Horton, R. Scott Clark, Tim Keller, and all the Van Tilians would be hollering like stuck pigs about how uncouth such remarks are.  Sometimes a little plain language is called for.
