Who are you saying "innocent of what" about? Jesus or Servetus?

BTW robbie, I ain't a Calvinist.
I don't mention Jesus, can you point out where I mention Jesus? no? then what are you talking about?

How do you know Servetus was innocent?
By the way, from the way I hear it, Jesus was innocent and died because we are guilty of nailing Him to the cross!
Oh, that's right, you don't believe they used nails. Or do you? Or was that a post, or something like that? 🙄
This "Calvin the villian" thing, I heard, is all about some heretic teacher being executed (or at least one with whom John Calvin disagreed) and Calvin arguing that he should not be killed in one manner but in some other seemingly more merciful manner.
It appears to me at first glance, as some involvement in an execution by omission, as if he could have maybe stopped it or could have lessened the penalty. It seems more of a matter of Calvin stepping aside and not mercifully intervening.

Robbie sure loves the matter.
Its not about some heretic teachers execution, its about Calvin the murderer burning a man to death for printing a tract that he disagreed with. The mans name was Micheal Servetus and the tract was the errors of the trinity. Far from Jaywills dishonest attempt to distance Calvin the murderer from his crime, the facts detail that Calvin noy only sought the death sentence but stated that even pre trial he was judge and executioner of Micheal Servetus.

I don't know much about it. The name Servetus is the name of the man I had in mind.
I will educate myself on the matter as I am not intentionally misrepresenting anything as far as I know.
But if Calvin committed a crime or a sin than Calvin committed a crime or a sin. Since I don't worship Calvin as a sinless man I don't know why you think I must vindicate him as innocent if he was not.
Abraham sinned.
Issac sinned.
Jacob sinned.
David sinned.
Even Robbie Carrobie committed sins.
If he truly murdered (as David did) then that's between him and God.
If I do not vindicate John Calvin's innocence in that affair, it means WHAT ??

Robbie do you consider this a fair review of what happened ?

From what I read about Servetus, Calvin tried to give him a faster death by beheading, not the torture of burning alive but was turned down. He still wanted him dead for daring to go against religious dogma.
