Total Depravity - 2
We continue looking at the Calvinist definition of "total depravity." We consider the Calvinist assertions that faith is the gift of God, and that faith is a work, looking at their primary proof text for this in Ephesians 2:8-9. We also begin a study of their proof texts for their interpretation of total depravity: Romans 3:10-11, by considering the full context and purpose of the entire passage: Romans 1:16 - 3:20.
Scripture References: Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:26-28, Romans 4:1-5, Romans 3:10-12, Romans 1:15-20
From Series: "A Scriptural Look at Calvinism"
In this series, we examine the 5 points of Calvinism, typically specified by the TULIP acronym, to see whether they are consistent with the teachings of Scripture.
