You'll notice LC's technique is to falsely call Arminius a liar...

The article admits what it a fact of history. Arminius swore an oath about what he believed to be truth. This is typical, BTW, of anyone seeking ordination in Calvinist churches or in that day to be qualified to teach, just as it was a part of my own examination to be an elder with my own denomination. They want to make sure we don't teach heresy. Then, Arminius taught different doctrines behind the backs of those who thought they could trust him. He knew this was wrong. He knew this was a lie. This is why he did it in back rooms at night and not during the day in his classes. Perhaps, according to Arminians, as xzins has strongly suggested, even if it is a lie, it is OK.
