***Buying into total depravity causes man to even doubt any sincere loving comment towards fellow man. ***
Sorry, I’m not following that. What do you mean?
“”Sorry, Im not following that. What do you mean?””
Perhaps this will help you?
Think of a child being totally depraved by his parents from birth to the age of say 14. Nothing this Child could ever do would ever please the parents.
Do you think this child would have any understanding of love at all? NO!
Now, apply this concept to God and man.
Total depravity makes no sense.
Yes,sin depraves us, and the more we sin the more depraved we will become.That is our own doing and that is not what God wants from us.
Christ came so that we may live life abundantly.
Not Totally Depraved!
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it more ABUNDANTLY.” (John 10:10)
I wish you a Blessed day!
