Total depravity

Total depravity are said to be people who fall from their humanity in the image of God are unable to do good, and prone to evil. We must and be very careful of the statements we make especially those sounding as if we are pointing finger at each other. All people including those who are moral and religious are sinners. Total depravity, understood correctly means that although both Christians and non-Christians can do much good, nothing we do is free from the corruption of sinful self-interest (Guthrie, Shirley Caperton 224-225). It is highly ironic though, that these views led to strong support for violent governmental control over the general population. I have never understood the logic. Why does belief in human depravity lead to trust in people with power? Why do we think rulers will transcend their own depravity and use their monopoly on violence in depraved ways? Tying together negative views of humanness with support for domination systems has a long and still vital history. Read the newspaper editorials—we’re all pretty bad, we’re told. That’s why we need so much military and police violence, to keep our human evilness in check. But what…

I agree with the doctrinal distinction of total depravity. This doctrinal belief comes from the Reformed tradition. Total depravity means that humans are completely wicked and morally corrupt. This means that human nature is fully dead. Without Christ, it is not possible to have true life because of the depravity of humans. I believe this is true because human nature is corruptible and mutable. Consequently, humans live in sin and are tempted by evil throughout the entire time on heaven. Satan…

in 1560 and died in 1609. These two theological set of beliefs are very similar in some ways. Jacobus Arminius actually had a Calvinist theology teacher during his school years. Without close inspection they might be misinterpreted as being almost identical. The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century brought about a series of reformations in the western Christian church. A set of points emerged from this era. There are five points of Calvinism that Arminianism argues against. The five points…

The firm was set up by Lewis Llewellyn and Dai Armstrong, the two close friends in a local cycle touring club. They produce traditional upright cycle, which imitate the 1940’s and 1950’s. In 1990s, the company expanded to meet the demand and they bought a 15,000 square feet warehouse with 2,000 square feet of office accommodation. The high quality hand- made bikes brought them good reputation and maintained high sales though they did not advertise much. However in 2010 the company has trouble as…

There are many differing opinions on war and the motivation to fight in it. In Carl von Clausewitz’s famous document, On War, he goes in depth about his specific views on war. Clausewitz says that the ideology that people feel for the war is what motivates them to fight and this motivation is in direct correlation with the violence in the war, but I believe that it is people’s desire for change that motivates them to fight in the war. Though Clausewitz makes good points throughout On War, I…

We can express this mathematically by stating: p = TR - TC The term on the left represents the change in revenue from producing one more unit, which is called marginal revenue. The term on the right represents the change in total costs resulting from producing one more unit, which is marginal cost. The firm 's profit will be maximized at the level of output whereby the marginal (additional) revenue received from the last unit produced is just equal to the marginal (additional) cost…

Optics Project 3D Movies How do 3D movies work? 3D movies work by adding another dimension - depth - to the motion picture Makes the audience feel like being part of the experience We perceive depth and see the world in 3D with binocular vision Binocular Vision - we see things with two eyes that are about two to three inches apart each eye sees from a slightly different perspective our brains then analyzes the differences between these two slightly different images to create a sense of depth,…
