Excerpt from An Essay on Native Depravity
This general principle is of special use in regard to a great variety of subjects, especially with regard to the one now under consideration. We are to make no inference from the moral perfection of God, which will interfere with our belief of man's depravity. We are utterly unable to determine, from our'hotions of the divine goodness, whether all or any human beings will be transgressors, or in what degree they will be depraved, or at what period of their existence, or in what manner, their depravity will commence. Facts show, and the Scriptures show, that many things are consistent with the goodness of God, which, judging from our own reason, we should have thought wholly inconsistent. We are to remember this; and to come to the inquiry, what is the moral state of man? With a mind free from prepossession, ready to believe what is proved by proper evidence, and with a full perena sion that, whatever we find to be fact as to the exist ence, the degree, the commencement, or the. Conse gushees, of depravity in man, must be perfectly con sistent with the moral attributes of God. Accordingly, the consideration that God is infinitely benevolent, can have no more influence upon our inquiry respecting man's moral character and state, than respecting the natural faculties of his mind, or his bodily senses. The subject must be treated wholly as a matter of fact.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a cornerstone of Christian theology: the concept of native depravity. Central to the Orthodox Christian tradition, the idea of innate human sinfulness is examined through rational argument and biblical analysis. The author begins by asserting that the doctrine of human depravity is not incompatible with the idea of God's inherent goodness, as God's perspective and our own differ immensely. The author then challenges the argument that this doctrine cannot be true as God created humans in his own image, countering that humanity was made with the capacity for change and is not inherently unchangeable or incapable of sin. Citing scriptural evidence from the Bible and personal introspection, the author argues that the totality of human depravity is manifested through our universal experience of sin and the constant moral struggles we face. This book provides a rigorous and thought-provoking exploration of a key theological concept, offering insights that will resonate with believers and non-believers alike.
