    The professional anti-Calvinist UA-camrs generally are not pastors and therefore are not held accountable to the requirements of ministers given by the Apostle Paul. If their families fall apart, they can continue on as they were without interruption - as was the case with Kevin Thompson of "Beyond the Fundamentals". They come across as those speaking with "authority", but it is not of God. Thus you see the general nastiness, willingness to attack and quarrel, and sometimes condemn others, even ordained men of God, on a whim. The recent video put out by "Idol Killer" mocking men of God such as MacArthur and Sproul is a case in point. I try not to contribute to their ultimate judgment if they refuse my admonition - that's a means of showing mercy to them as well. If they need rebuking, we must rebuke them, but to continually engage them to the point of stirring them up may be casting pearls before swine, and their hatred of truth will only add to their final suffering in the Lake of Fire if they are not saved.

    Not everybody follows every group on every platform so for those that don’t they have no idea what you are talking about. Please provide a written hard copy of *THE* official Reformed Theology definition of “Total Depravity” here in this comment section? I’ll go first and provide the official non-Calvinist understanding of Reformed Theology’s doctrine of “Total Depravity”. ----------> “Total Depravity” is the mental condition at birth of both the predestined to Heaven elect Calvinist lambs and the predestined to Hell non-elect goat people. On Reformed Theology it is 100% impossible for a “Totally Depraved” reprobate goat person to *seek after, believe in, have “faith” in, love, or worship, or be Saved by,* the sovereign Calvinist potter God for the following reasons; [1] the sovereign Calvinist potter God did not impersonally, whimsically and randomly pluck their name out of an Abe Lincoln hat, prior to Creation, and place them in the “elect” pile, [2] the sovereign Calvinist potter God, for reasons unknown, hated the unborn nonchosen goat people, prior to Creation, [3] the sovereign Calvinist potter God did not predestine the nonchosen goat people to be one of the elect, prior to Creation, [4] the sovereign Calvinist potter God *chose to refuse* to force the goat people to have “faith” against their “Totally Depraved” nature and will, in other words he discriminated against them, [5] the sovereign Calvinist potter God *chose to refuse* to force them to be “regenerate” against their “Totally Depraved” nature and will, in other words he discriminated against them, [6] the sovereign Calvinist potter God singled them out so because he needed to barbecue the nonchosen non-elect goat people in Hell for his own good selfish Glory and his own good sadistic pleasure,

      @@rocketsurgeon1746 look man, this has nothing to do with pride, I made my case, it just requires actually listening to what I say in order to understand. You, like Warren, are just jumping to conclusions and expecting some quick answer. It’s really not hard to understand the point. I laid it out in the beginning, that just reading a quote, or even multiple quotes, doesn’t guarantee that you understand the quotes or even principles meant to be drawn from the quotes. Warren misapplies what he quotes, and therefore has a faulty understanding. That’s somewhat normal with TD as all of the theologians I quoted say that is the case. And the last one I quote, the one that Warren didn’t get to, goes to even greater detail drawing out other misconceptions besides just that some think man is as bad as he can be. So, did I take too much time going through the theologians I did? Maybe, but the point of that was to establish agreement and to show that TD is easily misunderstood. Berkhof, the last theologian I quoted, says the doctrine requires “precise discrimination”. In other words, he is saying one must also understand what TD doesn’t mean along with what it does. The negative distinctions he makes helps with my creation of distinctions that I will use going forward when I do deal with Warrens misapplication (caused by misunderstanding TD to begin with) and arguments. Again though, this video was about establishing a solid definition and showing some things that are commonly misunderstood with TD. But sure, if you’re just looking for some short answer as to how Warren didn’t define TD, it’s not there, it’s a greater argument where I was hoping to bring clarity. My hope in this is to help dialogue, which I can admit that Warren might not be the best one to seek that with.

    On Reformed Theology it makes not the slightest iota of difference whether a person is “Totally Depraved” or not since the only people who are ever Saved are fatalistically hard determined, i.e. singled out to be especially prechosen/preselected/elected/ordained/decreed and predestined, prior to Creation, by the sovereign Calvinist potter God; while the nonchosen non-elect goat people are fatalistically double-predestined, i.e. passed over, so they can be barbecued in Hell for the sovereign Calvinist potter Gods own good selfish glory and his own good sadistic pleasure; never standing a chance, or a hope, or a prayer, of ever being Saved because the merciless unjust sovereign Calvinist potter God is so puny he doesn’t possess the omni-power of omnibenevolence, or the love of or for mercy and justice which would enable him to make provision for the goat people to be Saved like the omnibenevolent "Greatest Possible GOD", i.e. the Provisionist GOD of the Bible, actually does.

    James has repeatedly affirmed there are elect and unelect infants, and that God is free to treat them as He does adults. Where do the unelect go? Eternal torment. Yes, Infant Damnation is not only a logical entailment of Total Depravity, Unconditional Election and Limited Atonement, but it has been affirmed by Augustinians since the time of Augustine through the Reformation and into the present age. James is not alone in affirm ID, other online Calvinists like Chris Date have done so as well. No the view is not universal among Calvinists, but yes it is present. James has posited his view as the moderate between two extremes: on one side are those claiming ALL babies go to heaven, on the other side are those claiming ALL babies go to hell, and James places himself in the middle affirming elect and unelect infants, such that one or more infants go to eternal torment though not all. Make no mistake, James is still affirming infant damnation, just particular infant damnation. Why? Because he sees it as the only consistent view among historic and Confessional Calvinists (and I agree with him in this regard, while disagreeing with him on the view itself). Recently, you tweeted at James, practically begging him to deny his affirmation of Infant Damnation and he did not avail himself of the opportunity. Why? Again, because he affirms it.

    That kind of parsing of words, wiggling around doctrines and ignoring historical claims doesn’t get you out of the irrefutable factual dilemma that the sovereign Calvinist potter God whimsically, impersonally and randomly, i.e. for no known reason, pulls the names of the elect Calvinist lambs out of an Abe Lincoln hat prior to Creation and predestines them to Heaven against their “Totally Depraved” will. By the same token the non-chosen non-elect “Totally Depraved” invincibly ignorant names of the goat people remaining in the hat are then passed over and predestined to Hell, so the sovereign Calvinist potter God is able, in the future, to barbecue them in Hell for his *own good selfish glory and his future own good sadistic pleasure.* So for all intents and purposes the sovereign Calvinist potter God’s predestining the barbecuing of "Totally Depraved" invincibly ignorant goat people, in general, in Hell, newborn or not, for his *future own good selfish glory and his future own good sadistic pleasure* is no different than Baal’s newborn infant children sacrifices.

    I think I can wipe this whole debate away for both sides of this discussion. Ephesians 1:3-12 is clearly speaking about Jews (we who first trusted/hoped in Christ [if this had been written in Hebrew he most likely would have used Mashiah]). Paul is definitely _not_ speaking about the Ephesians because he clearly includes them starting in verse 13 where he switches from "us" and "we" to "you", and proceeds to explain to the Ephesians how they are also included in Christ. The same holds true for Romans, which was written for the benefit Jews (those who were previously under the law). So, I think we can put aside the choosing and the predestining as it doesn't speak to Gentiles at all.

    Idol killer is, without doubt, the most perceptive podcast against the heresy of reformed/Calvinism theology. 'IF' man is unable to communicate with God after the Fall, how does a Calvinist explain the Lord speaking with Adam, Eve. Cain, Abel, Prophets, Noah, all those at the baptism of Jesus when all heard the voice of God, etc etc...? Exactly when did this total depravity start?

      Well if this is the objection… most perceptive… In the first place to communicate with God is based on God’s choice. But man does respond to God when they are dead in sin, but that response is negative. The message of the gospel is foolishness for those who do not believe(1 Corinthians 1:18). Paul before he was called also responded and he responded negatively(Galatians 1:13-16). In Paul’s description of us in Ephesians 2 he makes it all clear. We were dead. Our desires were set on the body and not on God. The one who makes us alive again was never anyone other than God. In Ezekiel 37 a whole valley of dead bones is present and they don’t start living out of themselves. It requires an act of God. We see God’s grace in real time in Acts 16:14. It wasn’t simply that she just had the ability. It was a work of God.

    Self Determinist, Leighton Flowers, Kevin Thompson, use the only methodology of biblical interpretation unregenerates have to use..Flesh-o-gesis. What is Flesh-o-gesis? The Spirit IS Truth. John 14:7, 15:26, 16:13, 2 Thes 2:13. If you are not born again from above by the will and grace of God alone, you can only understand the Holy Writ from your carnal mind, from your flesh, ie Flesh-o-gesis. Leighton, Kevin, Dr Allen, Braxton, all these Self Determinists, use Flesh-o-gesis.

    Here is my issue with Leighton. His whole existence is to disprove Total Depravity and he clearly doesnt even know what it is. Or does he? See, I wouldn't be so charitable to Leighton. He knows what TD is and he purposely misrepresents it in order to decieve and confuse those he is trying to convince. He is a false teacher, who knows whst he is doimg and should be condemned.

    I spent a week last month listening to Dr. Michael Haykin talk about Edwards and the puritans. He started the week by saying " If you are a Christian then your beliefs are influenced by Augustine if you like it or not" He called Edwards the Augustine of North America.
