So we see, the doctrine of total depravity leaves no room for human dignity.

Nonsense. Human dignity is the result of Christ's covering -- His dignity His righteousness; His obedience, mercifully imputed to His children.

Roman Catholics think their church and their own good works save them.

Protestants believe God's unearned gift of grace through faith in Jesus Christ saves them.

Who boasts?

The loss of "human dignity" is reflected in Adam and eve trying to cover their nakedness.. that was a dignity of THEIR own making .. then they did what all the naked do after trying to make themselves dignified.. they ran and hid from God.

God had to call them and make them come out of hiding..just as He does with all the elect..then He covered them with.the flesh and blood of an animal , to symbolize that our nakedness before God only has dignity when Christ is put on

The sin of Adam and Eve made us all totally unable to do anything but try to cover ourselves and then run from the God of creation..

There is no dignity in sinful man , the only dignity we have is found in Christ

Psa 44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
