Paul Washer on Total Depravity

Paul Washer shares on the doctrine of man's "Total Depravity."

John Calvin once wrote: “Every one of us is, even from his mother's womb, a master craftsman of idols” He's also commented: "Man's mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain."

We read in Psalm 14:2-3: "The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one."

And, we read in Ecclesiastes 9:3, which states: "This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that the same event happens to all. Also, the hearts of the children of man are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead."
