Total depraved
What is total depravity? It means your so bad off in sin you are not able to come to jesus and get saved without Jesus giving you all you need. It means sin is so bad that without the help of Jesus no one is ever saved. We died on the first sin we did toward God. Nothing can we ever do is able to saved us. God made adam leave the garden never to return. It took one sin for moses one sin not to enter the land and one sin we do is so serious that hell awaits one who commits one sin. God is so perfect that one mistake is not ever allowed to be part of his work. Listen if you steal one gum ball and that is the only sin you ever did God would send you away from his heaven forever. Now I am not going to just leave us hanging I am again going into the bible and letting the bible say what it said. Logic is not what we need the bible is what we need. In the bible it said Jesus is 100 percet God. It also said Jesus is 100 percent man but Jesus is not 200 percent. I think anti calvinists somewhat do not like anti logic in the bible but it is not us to know the plans of God and to want to is not right.
Ere begins the list for total de[raved
Gen 6 5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.1
All the people were infected by sin and nobody went after God. So God killed them all. God was not happy at this point he made man. He declared all were not right with them. So was Noah in his time as he got drunk. We have not changed from this time. Man has the sin thing down and our intent is never that of Gods will because we are wicked in all our ways.
Gen 8 21 And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done
God is not going to do the same thing yet notice the condition of Man is the same. We are evil from our youth. We have hearts that are bad and God does not want them in the natural state. God saved us but if your saved your going to change into a person God is going to use.
Numbers 15 37 Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 38 “Speak to the children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners. 39 And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined,2
Man is shown here to have a heart outside of wanting to follow the Laws and commands of God. We do it our way. I am sorry if you do not think you need to obey folks but here God said you do. Jesus said if you love him your going to obey his commands to love. But on your own folks they and you are not going to do the obey thing. We cannot because our hearts and minds are just tainted with evil. We are no different. We in our day are for our selfs and not on fire for the Lord.
1 kings 8 46 “When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and they take them captive to the land of the enemy, far or near;

God is the chooser
I think the first thing I am going to do is to go into the bible and hit a term that begins the debate and that is chosen. Then I am going to go though the tulip things and then I am going to nail some sermons by reformed pastors. I want to list some bible passages on this tonight and maybe a few days to lay a case out.I got a lot (over 50 passages) to hit and list so it is going to be a lot of verses.
Lets start
Gen 21 12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your seed shall be called. 13 Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he is your seed.”1
A seed was going to become the nation GOD CHOOSE.
Ex 9 . 15 Now if I had stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, then you would have been cut off from the earth. 16 But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth. 17 As yet you exalt yourself against My people in that you will not let them go. 2
God selects the people and he tells us why he did it. He has to show who He is and his glory. God is going to show his glory and he does it no matter what you pick. God had a will for the people and he used them for him and they were freed out of the plan of God
Ex 33 19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” 3
God plans his grace and compassion. He chooses who is graced and who is not
Deut 7 6 “For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. 7 The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; 8 but because the Lord loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.4
Holy because God wanted to show his grace and love. Not because they did anything but it was the plan. It was the Love of God that picked them. God is going to love people he choose to. Gods love is not because they are good.
Deut 10 5 The Lord delighted only in your fathers, to love them; and He chose their descendants after them, you above all peoples, as it is this day.5
Deut 4 37 And because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their descendants after them; and He brought you out of Egypt with His Presence, with His mighty power, 38 driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day. 39 Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.6
Note why the choice. To know the Lord is God and there is no other. God used this to show he is God.
Deut 32 8 When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations,
When He separated the sons of Adam,
He set the boundaries of the peoples
According to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the Lord’s portion is His people;
Jacob is the place of His inheritance.7
Josh 11 20 20 For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might utterly destroy them, and that they might receive no mercy, but that He might destroy them, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
It said that God harden the heart. He planed to take out the people and he hardens hearts to do it.

book of life
WHEN WERE THE NAMES WRITEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE? I think it is before time began
Phil 4 2 I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.11
Heb 12 23 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.12
Rev 21 27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.13
Rev 13 8 . 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.14
Note 13:8 Book of Life. See note on 3:5. Lamb slain. The Lord Jesus who died to purchase the salvation of those whom God had chosen was fulfilling an eternal plan. from the foundation of the world. According to God’s eternal, electing purpose before creation, the death of Christ seals the redemption of the elect forever (cf. Acts 2:23; 4:27,28). Antichrist can never take away the salvation of the elect. The eternal registry of the elect will never be altered, nor will the saved in the Antichrist’s day worship him.

Gods commands
Cd of the night is Addicted to Jesus by carman and it has tons of hits and it is going on my pod. So if you can name 5 of the songs that would mean your a fan and I can like you more and think you highly. I then can call you a true lover of Jesus Music. If your not a fan then you ought to be. If you sare a singer and want on my pod let me know why and what you got and we will talk about things like music.
We need to keep on the thjeme for a long time on the commands of the bible and what we are to do to live right. It is a truth we need to learn what is do what Jesus asks us to do so that we can serve the Lord. He died for us and we owe him all we do and live for and this is things he asks you to do and not ask and debate why or make excuses and lot of times we do that. So the commands of God for us are to follow and not to do them is a sin and needs to be confessed and forsaken.
1 Thes 5 Abstain from every form of evil.
We are to not do evil things. What is evil? It is doing bad to people and not loving people. It is to not do good to people. It means being nice to people that are mean to you. If they are not good to you it does not matter because Jesus is nice to us we are to be good to others. It is not enough to just be nice we need to actively Love others because Jesus is in us and he pursued you. Has Jesus done so much for you that you can never repay him? Just that ought to make me want to obey Jesus and love him.
Notes I am leaving on Thur night for the Masters week and going on American Airlines so you can know if I die I go to St Louis and then to LAX.
Things to comment on... I am going to get comments on things I am thinking of this year as well as whats going on in your heartds.
So rread Thes and make comments on it
