You'll notice LC's technique is to falsely call Arminius a liar and then insist that if you defend Arminius, then you are defending lying.

Kinda like falsely implying the Reformed theologians and delegates at Dordt were responsible for the death of men like Oldenbarnevelt and then insisting that if we defend the Calvinists we are defending the execution of this man?

The Council of Dort was called by Prince Maurice, and it was Maurice who had Grotius imprisoned for life and Oldenbarneveld executed.

Do you happen to have a list of the delegates to the Council of Dordt? Was Prince Maurice of Orange, a participant?

and then insisting that if we defend the Calvinists we are defending the execution of this man?

Do you believe he was unjustly executed?

BTW the Council of Dordt was not called to discuss or debate Arminianism, but to condemn it.

See post #3 & #7 (Beginning at "Religious Conflict...")

If he had not been a supporter of Arminius he would not have been killed.

Nearly everything about it was unjust.
