[shibboleth]

"I created most of you for the purpose of torturing you forever. However, I am going to choose a few of you undeserving ones to go to heaven where you will be happy forever." John Calvin said there will be infants a span long in hell because they were not among the elect. (A span is the distance between the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger.)

Rodger, do you happen to know which book the quote from Calvin is about hell being a span long with infants? The reason I ask is that it was used as a proof text on an ET site that Calvin believed babies went to hell and the guy who quoted it and I couldn't find it in Calvins writings. Do you know exactly where it came from? Also, didn't Jonathan Edwards say babies went to hell in his writings? We couldn't find that one either.
