Monergism VS Synergismā¦. The age-old debate with Godās relationship with the worldā¦. As Iāve been researching, Iāve been very disappointed to see how many continue to misrepresent Jacob Arminius & what he taught.

šš»As with total depravity, many Arminians LATER rejected unconditional perseverance, & taught that a person can lose salvation through neglect, as well as conscious rejection of grace. Many other Armenians came to believe in the eternal security of those truly regenerated and justified by grace.
Yet, the smear campaigns donāt hold a flame to Prince Mauriceās treatment of Arminian statesmen at the Synod of Dort in 1618. John Bogerman a Calvinist preacher, was in favor of punishing heresy by death⦠and so he committed murder in the name of conformity. Similar to how they persecuted the Anabaptists, who were a radical group of dissenters from the mainstream Protestant movement. They felt the Magisterial Reformers (Luther, Zwingli Calvin etc) were all stuck in Constantinianism and Augustinianism. These were the two main diseases of medieval Christianity and these radical Reformers wished to eradicate it from Christianity itself.
Magisterial Leaders such as Lutherans in Germany, Anglicans in England, Ulrich Zwingli in Switzerland and John Calvin in Geneva were instrumental in the spreading of falsehoods, lies, suppression and persecution of Anabaptists.
As a result thousands were drowned, (including women) beheaded or burned at the stake. Others fled across Europe and eventually to the Americas in search of security to practice their faith.š
