P.S. This toast is for you: May our beer not run out, nor our marshmallows, until Arminius is finished burning!

Shhh.... keep this next one just between us...

I actually do not presume as a given that Arminius was not a Christian -- albeit he was, at least, a very bad one. Mainly, this post is intended:
A.) To illustrate the complete sophistry of Arminian ad hominem tactics; and...
B.) To demonstrate that if they wish to persist therein... Okay, fine; Homey can play dat.

After all, we Calvinists must always remember to be charitable enough to admit our opponent's worthwhile qualities. So, in fairness to James Arminius, it behooves us to admit -- though his Politics were virtually Stalinist, he did at least have excellent taste in Literature.

Next to the study of the Scriptures which I earnestly inculcate, I exhort my pupils to peruse Calvin's Commentaries, which I extol in loftier terms than Helmich himself; for I affirm that he excels beyond comparison in the interpretation of Scripture, and that his commentaries ought to be more highly valued than all that is handed down to us by the library of the Fathers; so that I acknowledge him to have possessed above most others -- or rather, above all other men -- what may be called an eminent spirit of prophecy. -- James Arminius, on one of his better days.

Absolutely! After all, there is a code of honor among drinking buddies. Now, would you kindly pass the chocolate. My marshmallow is almost ready.
