Why I’m Not a Calvinist (Total Depravity Examined)

Why I’m Not a Calvinist | Total Depravity Examined Why am I not a Calvinist? In this video, I walk through the key Calvinist doctrine of Total Depravity (also called Total Inability) and explain why I reject it from a Provisionist perspective. Calvinism teaches that people are so sinful that we cannot respond positively to God unless He regenerates us first. But is that really what the Bible says? We’ll look closely at four of the most common proof texts Calvinists use: 📖 Ephesians 2:1–5 📖 Romans 3:10–11 📖 Romans 8:7–8 📖 1 Corinthians 2:14 After examining each in context, we’ll also explore positive passages where God directly calls all people to repent and believe showing that the gospel itself, empowered by the Spirit, is sufficient to enable a genuine response. If you’ve ever wondered about Calvinism, Total Depravity, or whether the Bible teaches that people are born unable to respond to God, this video is for you. ⏩ Chapters 00:00 – Intro 01:36 – What Calvinists Teach About Total Depravity 04:23 – Ephesians 2:1–5 09:19 – Romans 3:10–11 13:05 – Romans 8:7–8 17:33 – 1 Corinthians 2:14 21:21 – Positive Biblical Case 25:58 – Outro 🙏 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell so you don’t miss future videos. ⸻ 📌 video I mentioned: 👉 What is Calvinism?
