God's Sovereignty and Man's SalvationSteve Gregg
In this lecture, Steve Gregg challenges the Calvinist view of total depravity by examining various biblical passages. He argues that while there is evidence of people's sinful nature, the idea that no one seeks God or has the ability to repent is not a categorical statement about all of mankind. Gregg also delves into the use of the word "dead" in Scripture and suggests that it doesn't necessarily mean a complete inability to change or choose righteousness. Ultimately, he asserts that the choice to repent and accept salvation is available to all.
