I suppose the one that comes to mind is his stand on the perpetual virginity of Mary. He was of course not alone. Most, is not all of the Reformers clung to that Romanist belief.

Before we bash him for this error, can he really have been expected to clean up all of the Christian faith? Aside from this rather glaring theological error, his works are clearly based on Scripture and continue to have a huge impact on most Protestant denominations.

Thanks, Gamey. I had confidence that an army-type could run and AAR on just about anything...LOL!

I agree. The perpetual virginity, imo, is probably inaccurate....I think honesty demands that everyone acknowledge the POSSIBILITY that it is inaccurate BECAUSE it isn't directly addressed in scripture. But that's a different subject entirely, isn't it?

I've also questioned Arminianism's refusal to acknowledge the "once removed determinism" of absolute foreknowledge.

I think both Arminius and Wesley acknowledge it, but many modern evangelicals have difficulty accepting it.

Any more on your part?
