ORIGINAL SIN-TOTAL DEPRAVITY-TRUE OR FALSE?  by steve finnell


Is the doctrine of total depravity correct? The teaching is that all men are guilty of the original sin of Adam and Eve rendering them totally depraved due to heredity. Nothing about them is good. They are wholly defiled body and soul. Wholly inclined to all evil. They are sinners at conception. They have no free-will. They cannot seek God. They cannot believe the gospel unless God forces them to believe.

  1. Prayer Request : Please pray for myself and my children. We're in a very dangerous situation right now, and quite literally ONLY God can save us. Just like the Children of Israel, were trapped between the approaching Egyptians and the Red Sea, we are quite literally trapped as well. But the Creator of Heaven and Earth was able to miraculously rescue them and I'm praying and believing God to miraculously rescue us as well. He's the SAME God and NOTHING is impossible for Him. Please help me to pray. Like the Word says " if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything...." Please agree with me for a miraculous deliverance for myself and my children. Thanks in advance.
