The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Canons of Dorte and TULIP

Don't know what "facts" you are wanting?

1. Yes, the Canons of Dordt were written as a rebuttal to the Remonstrance which consisted of five points of doctrine which disagreed with the Belgic Confession.
2. The writers of the Arminian doctrine were followers/students of Jacobus Arminius who departed from the established doctrines of the Reformation while professor in theology at the University of Leiden. He died in 1609 and thus was not part of the proceedings.
3. The infamous "Five Points of Calvinism" are part and parcel of the Canons of Dordt. One would have to be blind or mentally incapacitated to not see the obvious acrostic of TULIP in the Canons of Dordt. Just look at the "Heads of Doctrine" that begin each of the five sections of rebuttal followed by the rejection of errors submitted in the Remonstrance.
4. As to the accusation that "but not by a faith that is alone" = "justification by works" is equally untrue and an equivocation on its face. This accusation is 100% unwarranted and incontrovertible for the Reformers in their perpetual defense of the faith once delivered to the saints against the Roman State Church constantly insisted that true saving faith is EVIDENCED by good works (cf. James 2:17ff). Lutherans have historically always had issues with where good works fits into the Gospel, and have in essence denied that faith & works are antithetical. If, of course, as some Lutherans will admit, that justification is totally of grace through faith alone in Christ alone and good works show Spirit-wrought faith is genuine which Calvinism concurs. Today, the vast majority of Protestant churches espouse semi-Pelagianism which makes faith a work since it is man who brings that faith in and of himself, albeit with a little bit of God's help; aka: synergistic salvation.

As is my advice with the majority of your encounters with others of this type, Don't waste your time other than perhaps providing some links to article and/or books that contain the truth of the matter.
