and he tried to betray Calvin to the catholics... Bingo. This was the motivation behind the entire Arminian movement. The Romanists supported and even financed the Remonstrants in order to undermine the Reformation.

Interesting, and quite telling. It has always seemed to me that Arminianism was more about opposing Calvin than it was about proclaiming Truth. There is a semi-Pelagian element in the Arminain insistence on free will and man's so-called ability to choose in favor of God apart from God's Grace that isn't even logical, let alone scriptural. Knowing that the Romanists were behind Arminianism casts the whole doctrinal system into suspicion.

And it explains the symbiosis between Arminianism and Catholicism.

They both march to the beat of the almighty "FREE WILL."

From the beginning of creation, same as it ever was.

The Protestants were "protesting" Rome and the theology of Rome.The Arminians were "protesting" the protestants..it took me a while to figure out that most non Catholic churches are NOT Protestants(in spite of calling themself such)
