Aren't the Canons of Dordt a responsive document to all of Arminius' teaching, that our 5 points are responsive points?

Was Luther in error when he responded to Erasmus' On Free Will with Bondage of the Will?

I wouldn't recommend a new Christian, especially one from this sort of spiritual background, reading this book but shouldn't our pastors be able to read controversial or "hot" books so they can defuse them? Isn't this what defending the flock is all about?

Besides, didn't Paul quote pagans in his apologetics?
