He was hunted by the Catholics and the Protestants and eventually burned at the stake by John Calvin in Geneva, Switzerland. He was a polyglot, scholarly proficient, fluent in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Arabic, and Spanish. He was from Aragon, Spain. He was burned by Calvin in 1553AD with the approval of Luther, Melancthon, and a plethora of so-called reformers. Thomas Jefferson referenced Servetus in identifying religious INTOLERANCE in the newly formed United States of America.https://153online.comnoepisodicBook One: Argument and SynopsisBook One: Argument and Synopsis"The doctrine of the Holy Spirit as a third separate being lands us in practical tritheism no better than atheism, even though the unity of God be insisted on.
