What is also funny is how
@Bbrdrd tosses out the decision of the Synod because according to him it was a bunch of churches up against a smaller group promoting heresy. Yet isn't that exactly what happened with the 7 Councils?
He then uses the ecumenical Councils as his proof that they were correct in damning the heresies of their day, but not others, because others did it lopsided and biased, there were fewer numbers of the heretics, so it was "unfair", the others were biased in their doctrines, but not the ecumenical councils, because he says so. Yet that is a skewed view and is not accurate.
The glaring facts show decisions and verdicts were handled in the same manner within the 7 Councils as with the Synod of Dort. Smaller sects of heresies arose in the church period during the Councils just as in the days of the Synod. Documents were sent about and read to the church heads concerning the errors, were examined, and the larger orthodox body convened to condemn the heresies of Nestorianism, Pelagianism, Arianism &c.
It was exactly the same thing with the Synod sans any Catholic representation for obvious reasons. Handled in the same manner, the larger body of orthodoxy condemned the heresy.
To him it is different and unfair only because of his obvious disdain for the Doctrines of Grace. An overview of the details in history shows his view to be scanted in order to support him, not history, which is why he wants to toss out and mitigate councils he doesn't like.
