Total Depravity vs Total Inability: What Calvinists Get Wrong

from Calvinistic Foundations on SermonAudio Hosted by Will Pitman

🎯 Is Calvinism Biblical? Examining Total Depravity & Human Ability to Choose God Can totally depraved sinners truly choose to accept or reject salvation? This powerful sermon tackles one of Christianity's most debated doctrines—Calvinistic total inability versus biblical free will. Pastor Fortunato carefully examines what Scripture actually teaches about man's depravity, God's sovereignty, and our response to the gospel. What You'll Discover: Why every believer needs to personally study doctrine instead of blindly trusting teachers (Ephesians 4:14-16) ✅ The critical difference between total depravity and total inability—and why it matters for evangelism 📖 Biblical evidence that unregenerate people CAN see God through creation and conscience (Romans 1:20) How Jesus' own words in Matthew 23:37 refute predestination theology: "I would have gathered you, but YOU WOULD NOT" Verse-by-verse answers to common Calvinist proof texts like John 6:44, Genesis 6:5, and Acts 2:38 Why monergism (salvation by God alone) doesn't require irresistible grace or limited atonement The beautiful truth of "whosoever will" throughout Scripture—from John 3:16 to Revelation 22:17 This in-depth Bible study equips believers to discuss Calvinism with both conviction and compassion, defending the gospel truth that Christ died for ALL and offers salvation to WHOSOEVER believes. Whether you're wrestling with reformed theology, engaging Calvinist friends, or strengthening your own doctrinal foundation, this sermon provides clear biblical answers.
