On Arminianism

“I believe it is a mistake about God himself which has been the root and foundation of all the mistakes in theology. Our conviction is, that Arminian theology, to a great extent, makes God to be less than he is.” (394.370)

“The basis and groundwork of Arminian theology lies in attaching undue importance to man, and giving God rather the second place than the first.” (406.465)

“I believe that very much of current Arminianism is simply ignorance of gospel doctrine; and if people began to study their Bibles, and to take the Word of God as they find it, they must inevitably, if believers, rise up to rejoice in the doctrines of grace.” (609.29)
