A friendly discussion between a theological college, the third book in this three volume set starts to show another view on the Bible that challenges the works of John Calvin, Martin Luther and others. The aspect of self-determinism and the role of sin in a believer’s life are dominant in Arminius’s thinking while the other theologians in his time were focusing on the idea of determinism in the role of Biblical theology.

All other things He knows in the supereminent mode, and has them present to himself from eternity; if not, there would be two very grievous absurdities, not to mention others; one, that something might be added to the Deity, but that nothing can be added to eternity; the other, that knowledge could not belong to God univocally as the source of all knowledge126, in 8,) "Since God had decreed from eternity, as can be learned from events, to manifest in the highest degree his own glory in the human race, which manifestation might consist partly in the exercise of mercy, partly in the demonstration of hatred against sin, he made a man inwardly and outwardly pure, and endowed with right understanding and will, but susceptible of change10.THE REVISION OF THE DUTCH CONFESSION, AND THE HEIDELBERG CATECHISMFor there is no place for punitive justice except in reference to the sinner; there can be no act of that mercy, of which we treat, except towards the miserableBoth modes are used in reference to man, as the Scriptures declare in many places, and briefly in Romans 8:33May that Spirit of truth be present with me, and so direct my mind and hand, that it may in no respect err from the truth9:21 1599 Secondly, of Election
From this it is apparent that they are not on this account vessels of wrath because they have become depraved, the just consequence of which is wrath, if the will of God did not intervene, which determines that this, which would be a just consequence in respect to all the depraved, should be a necessary consequence in respect to those, whom alone He refuses to pardon, as He can justly punish all and had decreed to pardon someGrace is spoken of, throughout, particularly and relatively in respect to men, and in no case, is it used generally or absolutelyThese, it must be repeated, presuppose sin and ill-desertBut that the word is used in the Major in this sense, is proved by the phraseology, "He who ordained that man should fall." Then you say that the Minor is false if the word is used in the same sense in which we have shown that it is used in the Major, and so the conclusion does not followAnd the election hath obtained, RomThis is apparent from the fact that the angels, who fell, sinned irremediably and without hope of pardon, and the other angels did not obtain pardon for sins, for they had not committed them, but were preserved and confirmed in their own state, through the grace, it may be, which they received through the mediation of Christ, and which he communicated to them, not, in a correct sense, by that which Christ either merited or obtained for them by any work performed in their behalf, before GodGomarus was also a professor at Leiden and a strict Calvinist"Your iniquities have separated between you and your God." (Isaiah 59:2.) God, therefore, regards man in general; He does not find any cause in man; for the cause of that adoption or filiation is from His sole will and graceVenema,a Mark, De Moore, Whitefield, I
"Whoso sheddeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." But what need is there of many words? We say that he was ordained as Mediator both for those who stood and for those who fell, as Redeemer only for those who fell; for those who stood, that they might remain, standing, and for those who fell, that they might rise again, and remain standingI will make the matter clear by an exampleFor the word ordain used in your sense, presupposes the perpetration of sin; in their sense, it precedes and proposes its perpetration, for "God ordained that man should fall and become depraved," not that from a being, fallen and depraved, He should make whatever the order of the divine wisdom, goodness, and justice might demandThe law is enacted not for nature but for the will, for the will as it acts not according to the mode of nature, but according to the mode of freedom6You add that "it has reference to supernatural life." This, however, is a life dependent on grace, as all the adjuncts showThirdly, by the example of the Angels? What has restrained the holy Angels from evil and confirmed them in good? The positive act of God, that is, the manifestation of Himself in election; for they are electAccording to this idea, Christ is indeed the Head, in common, of all created things; the Head, I say, of superior nature, and of interior nature, and of all those things which are in nature
The instigator was Satan, whose design was to cast down man, by transgression, to death, not only of the body, but of the soul, and when man could only resist through supernatural graceON THE INFANTS OF BELIEVERS WHEN THEY ARE OFFERED FOR BAPTISMFrom which it follows, a mode of argumentation, plainly the same, being preserved, that when election is said to have been made in Christ, God had reference to man, considered generally, as not yet created as created in a natural state, as standing and as having fallen, but this is the same thing as being considered in a merely natural state, which you denyAbbot,Wendelin, Hottinger, Seegedin, Rissen, Maresius,the Leiden Synopsis, Thysius,Polyander,Walaeus, Lubbertus,Rivet, Ball,Diodati,Featley*,Cocceius, Henry Alting, JBut the peculiar and internal efficient cause of this is the sin of the creature, while the accidental and external cause is the justice of God." Axiom 50: "Therefore Reprobation (that we may clearly distinguish the matter) is understood either in a wider sense, or in one which is more narrow and peculiar to itselfThe necessary mode is that which cannot be otherwise, and this is always good, in that it is necessary; but the contingent is that which is as it happens to be, whether good or badThe Major is plainThe latter were ordained of God, by the adoption of grace in Christ Jesus, all to one end, namely, to the sight, the enjoyment, and announcement of the glory of God, and of them was constituted the mystical body of Christ, the celestial churchThis grace, also, unique in itself only, may be twofold in the elect, for either it is grace simply, if you look even from eternity on man without reference to the fall, which grace is communicated to the elect, both angels and men, or it is grace joined to mercy, or gracious mercy, when you come down to the special matter of the fall and of sin 5d8a9798ff
