This is a ministry of striving for eternity. What does total depravity mean?

01:18

This is something that often triggers some people and gets them not thinking about the proper definitions, but false definitions.

01:26

So we want to be precise in definitions that we give to things. Whether you believe in what's called

01:47

No, that's not true. Total depravity does not speak about the degree someone sins or the depravity of that sin.

01:58

It doesn't mean that they are going to sin all the time to their greatest ability. What total depravity refers to is when

Therefore, our will is bound by our sin. This podcast is part of the
