It's a little confusing when total is a qualifier, because "total depravity" sounds as though it's describing natural man as being as bad as he can be at all times, when, really, it's referring more to the totality of the depravity to the point where man is so totally (read: comprehensively?) tainted by his sin nature that, when given a free choice to choose the goodness of the Gospel, natural man is unable to will himself to believe that which he considers folly (see: 1 Corinthians 1:18) | |
