1 | Vessels prepared for destruction? | Rom 9:22 | Reformer Joe | 70409 | ||
Interestingly enough, the debate really wasn't between these two men. James Arminius was only about four years old when Calvin died, so obviously there wasn't a lot of interaction between them! :) Also, it was a group of Dutch followers of the teachings of Arminius, known as the Remonstrants, who first presented their objections to the Reformed church in the Netherlands in 1610 (the year after Arminius himself died). This controversy between the followers of the two groups is what resulted in the Synod of Dort, out of which came the Canons of Dort, the first confessional document organizing some of the teaching of the Reformation into the "Five Point" format. Sorry if the history lesson bored you; I think that studying the history of God's people (and, through our mutual union with Christ, OUR people as well) gives us a greater sense of how our sovereign God has triumphed through his church in the last 2000 years, despite some very questionable characters that were in the mix... --Joe! |

"I always like being board with the facts the hard part is being sharp enough to remember them for future use." To be honest, I'd be lost without my library and the Internet handy for such matters. I have pretty good memory, but I just cram too much in to remember all the details. May God bless you today! --Joe! |
