ow.ly/xXvG2 Arminianism is the very essence of Popery. Christopher Ness of St. Johns College, Cambridge, a Puritan divine, in his treatise An Antidote Against Arminianism (on the Puritan Hard Drive - ed. bit.ly/ci3g2z), recommended by the great Dr. John Owen, writes, As blessed Athanasius sighed out in his day, The world is overrun with Arianism; so it is the sad sigh of our present times, the Christian world is overrun, yea, overwhelmed with the flood of Arminianism; which cometh as it were, out of the mouth of the serpent, that he might cause the woman (the Church) to be carried away of the flood thereof. [Rev. 12.15.] He quotes Mr. Rous, Master of Eton College, as saying, Arminianism is the spawn of Popery, which the warmth of favour may easily turn into frogs of the bottomless pit, and Dr. Alexander Leighton who calls Arminianism the Popes Benjamin, the last and greatest monster of the man of sin: the elixir of Anti-Christianism; the mystery of the mystery of iniquity; the Popes cabinet; the very quintessence of equivocation. During the Arminian regime of Archbishop Laud, the persecutor of the Puritans and the Covenanters, zealous Arminians were promoted to the best bishoprics. A famous letter written by a Jesuit to the Rector of Brussels and endorsed by Laud himself was found in his study at Lambeth. A copy of this letter was found among the papers of a society of priests and Jesuits at Clerkenwell in 1627. The following is an extract: Now we have planted the Sovereign Drug Arminianism which we hope will purge the Protestants from their heresy; and it flourisheth and beareth fruit in due season. I am at this time transported with joy to see how happily all instruments and means, as well as great or smaller, cooperate with our purposes. But to return to the main fabric: OUR FOUNDATION IS ARMINIANISM. (S.G.U. Publication No. 173, p. 142). In reference to the Calvinistic doctrines -- the doctrines of free and sovereign grace held by the Reformers in England, Toplady observes, Queen Mary and her Spanish husband well knew that Calvinism is the very life and soul of the Reformation; and that Popery would never flourish till the Calvinistic doctrines were eradicated. Her efforts to destroy by sword and fire those who upheld the Truth earned for her the unenviable appellation of Bloody Mary. The charge on which many of them were burnt at the stake was that they held to the doctrine of predestination and rejected the Arminian and Popish doctrine of free-will. - From: Arminianism Another Gospel (Free MP3 & PDF) ow.ly/xXvG2 Arminianism Agrees With Roman Catholicism And Calvinism Agrees With The Bible (Free Reformation Videos, MP3s, etc.) ow.ly/xXurD The Puritan Hard Drive has been such a superb blessing to me! - Richard Bennett (former Roman Catholic priest, now Reformed Baptist), Berean Beacon bit.ly/ci3g2z.
