bible and more depraved
If you want to grow into a strong man of God one way you need to do it is reading the bible every day. I am having debate on whether the bible is the most important thing and I find it to be a sad time when the body does not make bible reading more important than anything. Failing to read the word is like not eating the food to grow. If your saved and do not read the bible there is no growth in your life. Even if you read it all before the devil will mess your walk up big time if your not in it and reading it all the time. It is our food and if your not eating your going to die in the things of God. I never have met a christian that did not read their bible that I would call strong and mighty for Jesus. If you wish to grow in the things of God bible reading is a must and if it is not your walk is going to ok to fair. Consist your walk with bible study and your going to be great and if you set it off you will never get strong. If you read this you can get a bible and learn it. No more excuses for not reading the Lovwe of Jesus and what he did and how to walk rightly. I had some friends that misuse the things in the bible to make them look like if you fail to follow it your not ok and then they added things to the bible to make it look like they were better. This is why we need to know the bible and when folk comes to nail you on this or that we defend the truth and do not fall into error. EVERY CALVINIST belief I have is based only on the bible and everything I believe is in the bible and I can show it to you. If something is not in the bible I am not go ing to teach it. I do not look to mans logic in my faith I look only to te bible.
Here are some more verses on the topic of total depraved.
Eph 2 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,1
This is a good passage on the sin that we have. We are dead. We had to be rescued and made alive. We were dead and Jesus made us alive and not that we are coming to Jesus. We walkied according to the world and not with Jesus. We were part of the devil and he had blinded us and the devil blinded us until the Lord made the path clear. Look at the BUT. It has to be God that saved and not us.
Eph 4 17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; 19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.2
18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;
Non saved have the mind that God does not work on because they rebel before him. They are blind in the heart.
Col 2 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,
You were dead Jesus made you alive.
James 2 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.3
Break one point your in hell forever. No hope unless Jesus steps in
