Was Calvin not as sold on Total Depravity as we may have been led to believe?

I am not sure why you are asking. (Have you been reading too much stuff by Dave Hunt [grin]?)

I am not sure why you are asking.

I am asking because Calvin, in this opening chapter, talks about us being urged by our evil natures to consider the “good things of God.” He hasn’t said anything, yet, about God having to break through our evil nature in order to get us to consider Him. I know this is only the beginning, but I thought the way Calvin phrased that argument was peculiar, given everything I’ve heard on this forum from my Calvinist FRiends.

Ha! I haven’t picked his book up for a couple of days. ;^)
