Why don't you post his article and we can see for ourselves that Jacob Arminius was an agent of the Counter-Reformation, struggling by word and deceit to return the church to faith by men's good actions and by not God's predestinating, sovereign will alone.

Monergism/synergism.

In 1608, Arminius was locked in debate with the Calvinist, Franciscus Gomarus before the supreme court of Holland. The two were asked to bear with one another. The following year, Arminius and Gomarus were summoned before the states of Holland for negotiations. In October of 1609, negotiations between Jacobus Arminius and Franciscus Gomarus came to an end when Arminius died in Leyden.

Months later, the Remonstrants, followers of Jacobus Arminius, presented their position in a document entitled, "The Remonstrance" (Articuli Armininiani sire remonstrantia).

In 1618, the Synod of Dort was called to deal with the controversy surrounding the Remonstrants (followers of Arminius) where their teachings were condemned as heresy.

The Reformation was still an on-going event at this time, xzins. There was a lot thrown into the mix, some by believers, some by heretics, some by honest inquirers and some by paid provocateurs.

you seem to want to continue the ruse.

He was hardly an agent of the counter-reformation: he considered the Papacy the antichrist, and that was a firm position since his own mother, brother, and sister were murdered in the massacres of Oudewater by the King of Spain's counter-reformation troops.

The "On Predestination" thread is one of his final writings near the end of his life published approx. one-half year before he died.
