	Biography of Jacobus Arminius
		Arminius was born in the Netherlands during the Spanish occupation, at Oudewater near Utrecht.
		Arminius returned home to learn that his mother and several of his brothers and sisters had been among the victims.
		After returning to Geneva, Arminius must have been more prudent, for in 1585 Beza wrote to the Amsterdam city rulers (who were sponsoring the young man’s education), commending his ability and diligence highly and encouraging a continuance of their "kindness and liberality." Perhaps significantly, Beza made no mention of Arminius’s theology.

	Who Was Arminius? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Arminius became allied to a regent family and his convictions on the relation of church and state were the same as that of most regents.
		Arminius taught that faith itself was imputed to the sinner for righteousness, whereas the earlier teaching had stressed that it was the object of faith, namely Christ and His righteousness, that was imputed to the sinner.
		Arminius' teaching turns faith from an instrument that rests on the work of Christ to a work of man, and tends to change faith from that which receives the righteousness of Christ to that which is righteousness itself.

		James Arminius was born in Oudewater, a small town near Utrecht in Holland, in the year 1560.
		While Arminius was yet an infant, or even more likely that before he was born, his father died, and he, with a brother and sister, was left to the care of his widowed mother.
		Arminius accordingly accompanied him thither, but had been engaged in his studies at the University only a short time when the mournful intelligence reached him that his native town had been destroyed by the Spanish army.

	Memorial to James Arminius
		This was the design of Arminius; and he persisted in it to the close of his life, nothing being such a source of grief and sorrow to him, as the obstinate resistance of those who ought to have shewn themselves the most favourable to this design.
		Arminius was as averse to a new Confession, as he was to a schism.
		Arminius never said that the whole human race was at the same time reconciled and healed by the satisfaction of Christ.

		James Arminius was born at Oudewater, Holland in 1560, just before the death of John Calvin.
		Arminius did not consider himself bound to what he called "the private interpretation of the Reformed." He believed he was at liberty to expound the Word of God according to the dictates of his conscience.
		Arminius was appointed Professor of Theology at the University of Leider, where he had earlier studied in preparation for a ministry in the Reformed faith.

	arminius
		James Arminius, whose real family name was Herman, was born near Utrecht, Holland in 1560.
		Arminius does hold that the Christian can–"it is possible"–have assurance of his salvation.
		Arminius claims to hold to the teaching of the Heidelberg Catechism and the Belgic Confession (1561), yet to do so would necessitate a reinterpretation of "original sin" and the phrase from the confession which says that original sin "is sufficient to condemn all mankind"

	The Life of James Arminius
		As was usual with learned men of that period, who either latinized their own names, or substituted for them such Latin names as agreed most nearly in sound or in signification with them, he selected the name of the celebrated leader of the Germans in the early part of the first century.
		While Arminius was yet an infant, his father died, and he, with a brother and sister, was left to the care of his widowed mother.
		As soon as Arminius learned that the new institution had been opened for the admission of students, he at once prepared to return to Holland, and soon entered as a student at Leyden.

	Arminian - Tulipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Initially there were objections from his contemporaries who were increasingly unsettled by Arminius' views, but the issue was resolved when it was agreed by all parties to have Franciscus Gomarus interview and evaluate him; Gomarus felt satisfied with Arminius' orthodoxy and he was installed as professor of theology, succeeding Franz Junius.
		Arminius fell ill and died a year later, on October 19, 1609, a minister in good standing in the Dutch Reformed Church on account of there being no final and satisfactory resolution to these controveries.
		In 1592 a colleague (Petrus Plancius?) formally accused Arminius of the heresy of Pelagianism, deviance from the Belgic Confession and Heidelberg Catechism, and erroneous views on predestination (an accusation which was not systematically raised until he was professor of theology at Leiden, his principal opponent being Gomarus).

	Arminius, The Scapecoat of Calvinism
		When James Arminius was installed as pastor in Amsterdam in 1587, Calvinism was not in control.
		Although it was Arminius who had called for an open forum, there were 130 Calvinists present and 13 Remonstrants who were prisoners of the state and were given no vote.
		It was not until the Wesleyan Reformation that the pure doctrine of Arminius was restored and the tendencies of Pelagianism and Unitarianism removed.

	Human Freedom
		When James Arminius, John Wesley, and H. Orton Wiley emphasized their non-Pelagian view of human freedom, they understood that they were teaching what was customarily taught by the Greek and Latin fathers.
		James Arminius taught and even emphasized human freedom in various treatises written during his 15-year pastorate at Amsterdam (1588-1603) and in his writings during his tenure as a professor at the University of Leiden (1603-9).
		Commenting on John 8:36, Arminius wrote, "It follows that our will is not free from the first fall; that is, it is not free to good, unless it be made free by the Son through his spirit." (Ibid., p.

	ORIGINAL SIN AS PRIVATION - An Inquiry into a Theology of Sin and Sanctification (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Arminius considers privation or the absence of the Holy Spirit both as the source of actual sins, and as the expression of man's radical alienation from God.
		Arminius' privation concept does not detract from the worth of man. While in no sense does the view deny the lostness and inability of man, it offers a superior construct for recognizing the value of this human existence deprived as it is. Having lost the spirit of God, man still mirrors the divine glory.
		Arminius' position, in which depravity language is muted, is sharpened from privation to "depravation arising from deprivation." This sharpening is more in harmony with the traditional Wesleyan theology of sanctification which asserts that inbred depravity remains in the believer and that a second work follows the first work, i.e., sanctification follows the new birth.

	The Canons of Dordt (1618-19)
		While Arminius did not depart far from the Reformed position, he gave a larger place to the faith of the believer and came to a position of conditional predestination rather than the absolute predestination of Calvin and the double predestination of Beza.
		After Arminius’ death (1609), his supporters under the leadership of Simon Episcopius came to be called the Remonstrants ("remonstrant"- to oppose) after issuing the Remonstrantiœ, a series of five articles summarizing their divergence from certain aspects of accepted Dutch Reformed theology.
		Even though Arminius and the Remonstrants were condemned, the controversy did not end and had a liberalizing effect on theology in Europe and England, as well as the American colonies.

		In 1608, Arminius, and Gomar, his chief opponent, appeared before the Supreme Court of the Hague, which, having heard their statements, decided that the points on which they differed were of little importance and unessential to religion.

		If it is true, and it seems to have been, that Arminius pledged to adhere to the confessions of the church in his teachings while at the same time teaching otherwise, he was guilty of a serious fault.

		Arminius taught that man is not guilty for Adam's sin, but only when he chooses to sin voluntarily.
		Arminius started out as a strict Calvinist, but later modified his views, views which were expressed in a document called The Remonstrance in 1610.
		Arminius himself, and his early followers, stated that they were unsure of this doctrine and that it required further Biblical study.

	James Arminius: Introduction to Arminius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Whenever the Calvinist sets forth the ideas contained in the doctrines of grace, and fervently sets his pen (or keyboard) against the writings and thoughts of the Arminians, he is usually arguing against secondary ideas based upon his knowledge of the subject.
		I mean to say that instead of hearing the doctrine of repentance from Arminius himself, or from the Remonstrants (his followers), the Calvinist will refute the Arminian doctrine of repentance based on preconceived notions, assumptions, other books written about other authors who say they are Arminian, and the like.
		In his ignorance of Arminius’ ideas that does not make the Calvinist wrong in his approach to correctly handling the Word of Truth, but it does make him wrong in the manner of understanding the position of others before he critiques it.

	James Arminius The Scapegoat of Calvinism
		Arminius is sometimes blamed for almost leading the Reformation off course: "Calvinism came in, Arminius nearly ruined it, and the Synod of Dort restored it."

		Arminius did not object to saying, "the righteousness of Christ is imputed to us," but he did object to saying that "the righteousness of Christ is imputed to us for righteousness." He wanted to avoid saying that Christ's righteousness is a cloak over our unrighteousness.

	The Five Articles of the Remonstrants (1610)
		In the latter 16th century James, (Jacobus) Arminius, a Dutch Reformed theologian, challenged John Calvin and Theodore Beza’s formulation of the classic Reformed doctrine of predestination (See The Works of James Arminius [external link]).
		After Arminius’ death (1609), his supporters under the leadership of Simon Episcopius came to be called the Remonstrants ("remonstrant"- to oppose) after issuing the Remonstrantiœ in 1610, a document containing five points summarizing their divergence from certain aspects of accepted Dutch Reformed theology.
		The five articles of the Remonstrants became the focus of the Synod of Dordtrecht in the Netherlands, and occasioned The Canons of Dordt, a document of the Dutch Reformed Church that rejected the teachings of Arminius and the Remonstrants and essentially declared their position to be heretical.
