Arminianism, which takes its name from Jacobus Arminius (Jakob Harmensen), is a moderate theological revision of Calvinism that limits the significance of Predestination. Arminius (1560 - 1609) was a Dutch Reformed theologian who studied at Leiden and Geneva. He became a professor at Leiden in 1603 and spent the rest of his life defending against strict Calvinists his position that God's sovereignty and human free will are compatible. He sought without success revision of the Dutch Reformed (Belgic) Confession; nevertheless, he was very influential in Dutch Protestantism.
A Remonstrance in 1610 gave the name Remonstrants to the Arminian party. They were condemned by the Synod of Dort (1618 - 19), but later received toleration. English revisionist theology of the 17th century was called Arminian, although possibly without direct influence from Holland. John Wesley accepted the term for his theological position and published The Arminian Magazine. The tension between the Arminian and Calvinist positions in theology became quiescent until Karl Barth sparked its revival in the 20th century.

Get the Armita mug.Short for "Am I not right" or "Aren't I right". Combination of several worlds which, when used at the end of an interrogative sentence, assumes correctness of the statement.

Get the armirite mug.The graceless and ropey tarts who get bonked in nightclub bogs and public shitters.
Typcially seen with their legs up at ten to two in the disabled handrails while their fetid flaps get utterly mammothed by a long queue of shitfaced bullers in a murderous and grout melting storm of lumpy spoff and aftershave.

Sanjay, the restroom attendant was seen on CCTV, with a bog brush up his shitpipe and violently wristing his mottled widge ablaze after witnessing the regular armitage skanks Kim and Yohan being stretchered out of the nightclub for emergency surgery and skin grafts on their dripping, honking twat holes.
