Being totally depraved means being totally unable to do anything that is good. Until a person is born again he has not done one good thing in his life. He is incapable of it. In the flesh, he cannot submit to God's law and cannot please God. The Law requires whole hearted love for God and a love for neighbor that is equal to self. But man does not do this at all until he is born again. He cannot do it. And yet he is still guilty before God and liable for punishment because his inability is a guilty inability rooted in his hostility toward God. His inability to love God is just like Joseph's brothers inability to speak a kind word to him (Gen. 37:4). They could not speak a kind word to him because they hated him. That is all our inability to love and please God.

“ Plain Truth ” No Poly Want A Cracker Preaching Here. And finally a preacher who presents Total Depravity as a Biblical Doctrine/God’s Doctrine and not Man’s Doctrine/Calvin’s Doctrine. I’m paraphrasing the Preacher as follows, please feel free to correct me if my paraphrase is incorrect … At one point he says who cares what John Calvin says, I respect him as a reformer but I want to know what God says and I’ve proven Total Depravity by quoting only scripture and didn’t quote John Calvin once. This doctrine pre-dates John Calvin and the Reformation by Eternity.
