Total Depravity could give the idea that we are as depraved as we can possibly be i.e. there absolutely nothing good in us--which is not altogether true as most any Bible-believing Christian would believe, all people are created in the image of God and capable of doing good in some sense. Radical Corruption is a little better because it communicates as the Romans 3 does, that there is nothing man can do that is not corrupted by sin. Sin touches every fabric of our being and corrupts it--both our sin and the sins of the world around us. <BR/><BR/>It is actually a praise to God's grace to all people that they aren't as depraved as they could be, it shows that God is being patient with man and has not given man completely over to what his sinful heart desires (i.e. more sin as Romans 1:18-32). <BR/><BR/>Anyway, good post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639235.post-60462293023605669832008-06-24T09:03:00.000-04:002008-06-24T09:03:00.000-04:00amen.amen.Russ Reaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10613965003824936028noreply@blogger.com
