[QUOTE="HTacianas, post: 76762340, member: 411268"] Total Depravity is a teaching found in Calvinism. It comes from stringing together several verses from the old testament which are repeated in the new testament that speak to the general condition of society at the time. But that has been used by some to absolutely condemn all mankind. It could be used to describe the times we live in today. We see gang members murdering people in the streets, rampant sexually transmitted diseases, abortion, drug abuse, and a whole host of other things. It is easy to say "there are none who seek God, no, not one". But does that speak to those who do in fact seek God? When Isaiah first said those words did they apply to him? When Paul repeated those words did they apply to those Christians he was speaking to? Put the idea of "total depravity" out of your mind. [/QUOTE]
