" Also it was John Calvin who taught the "total depravity of the human heart"."

THE LORD TAUGHT THAT THE HEART WAS WICKED. Lets give credit where credit is due. Calvin merely emphasized and expounded upon what Jeremiah the prophet spoke and also David. Jer 17:9 The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Psa 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek God.

Psa 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one. I'm touchy about giving the Lord the credit first and than the Reformers.
