Interesting articles. Thanks HFPZ.
John Calvin’s Institutes are quite a read. But John also was a good lawyer and took /stole from many before him.
I would also say that Calvin’s views and those who say they are Calvinist’s are not necessarily the same. 
It really all comes back to the understanding of ‘Salvation.’ The evangelical use of the word salvation verses the idea of redemption, and atonement. Much of the bible is talking about a redeemer! Christ the redeemer of Israel vs the evangelical idea of Jesus as a personal savior to the masses who choose to believe the story. The problem is that the story gets confusing.
We have been fed many years of fodder. Maybe we can figure this out with open minds and open hearts. 
Today, I introduce a couple of articles - that bridge Calvinism and Universalism:
Calvinism leads to universalism…
Meet a Calvinist who is also a Universalist
I have actually thought this for some time, which is that God reveals that it’s his will that everyone s/b saved and in Calvinism , God’s will is always accomplished.
