I like your qu...Thanks for another great article! <br /><br />I like your quote of William Cunningham's words as "a fitting summary": <br /><br />"The uses of theological controversy are, to expose error, and to produce and diffuse clear and correct opinions upon all points of doctrine."<br /><br />An example is the theological controversy stirred up by Arminius and his followers.<br /><br />In TULIP - The Five Points of Calvinism in the Light of Scripture by Duane Edward Smith, 2nd Edition, Baker Books, 2003, pages 13-14, it is stated:<br />"... in 1618, a National Synod of the Church was convened in Dort to examine the teachings of Arminius in the light of Scripture. After 154 earnest sessions, which lasted seven months the Five Points of Arminianism were found contrary to Scripture and declared heretical (heresy)." <br /><br />Would we have such a clear statement of the doctrine of salvation (Five Points of Calvinism a/k/a "TULIP") as is in the Canons of Dordt if Arminius and his followers did not create such a controversy?
