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.
The power plays and hatefulness of Dordt should mean that no fair person would take anything they said out of that context of power, hate, exile, and execution.
It makes me certain that their positions on scripture are unworthy of inclusion in serious Christian history.
I agree. So why are the political actions of a political figure being used as an excuse to dismiss the theological issues involved at Dordt?
Do you happen to have a list of the delegates to the Council of Dordt? Was Prince Maurice of Orange, a participant?
Not to my knowledge, which leads me back to the previous question.
BTW the Council of Dordt was not called to discuss or debate Arminianism, but to condemn it.
And? The First Council of Nicea wasn't held to discuss or debate Arianism, but to condemn it. Your point is moot.
