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.

Yes, I read it. Do you remember me asking you if you had read it?

Time and again his body of work (poorly written as it is) denies the sovereignty of God in predestinating His creation. Arminius even denied the necessity of the Fall.

A Brief Look at James Arminius and His Doctrine of God’s Providence

Arminius says he believes in "Predestination," then, like you, goes on to completely redefine the word, and ultimately deny its meaning.

I guess everyone needs a role model.
