TOTAL DEPRAVITY

Genesis 6.5 The truth of this doctrine appears in no less than five ways.

1A. First, THAT MAN IS TOTALLY DEPRAVED APPEARS FROM DIRECT PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURE (Ecclesiastes 7.20; Jeremiah 17.9; Isaiah 64.6-7; Romans 3.10-12, 18)

2A. Next, THAT MAN IS TOTALLY DEPRAVED APPEARS FROM THE DOCTRINE OF REGENERATION (John 1.13; 3.3; Ephesians 2.1)

3A. Third, THAT MAN IS TOTALLY DEPRAVED APPEARS FROM THE DISTINCTION WHICH THE SCRIPTURES MAKES BETWEEN THE SAINT AND THE SINNER (First John 4.7)

4A. Fourth, THE EXPERIENCE OF EVERY SAINT SHOWS THAT MAN IS TOTALLY DEPRAVED (Romans 7.18)

5A. Finally, FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF EVERY SINNER WE SEE THAT MAN IS TOTALLY DEPRAVED
