Hmmm, no, I didn't want to debate Calvinism so that it would be judged between me and another person. I just want to help people see the Truth to know God better.

Well I can't give the appearance of trying to defend what Arminius believes.
Maybe I'll make a thread called Scriptures Calvinists Misunderstand.
Would you be interested in that?

For me personally…. no not really


What I am getting at is that Calvin and Arminius were going back to the Scriptures at that particular point in time 16th century and it was the 17th century people who misunderstood what both arminius and Calvin were referring to, what their own focus was

Their writings were theological and redirecting the focus from the created papacy and the physical church back to the Creator of the papacy and church and what the papacy and church had been created for …

That is what the reformation was about

You think that people misunderstand both Calvin and Arminius? You think they both were right? How can that be?
