In this short 15 min video, Dr. Leighton Flowers, Director of Evangelism and Apologetics for Texas Baptists, confronts the Calvinistic doctrine of Total Inability, the idea that all people are born spiritually blind due to God's sovereign decree and thus have no moral ability to respond positively to God's own gracious appeals to be reconciled. Looking at Paul's own sermon in Acts 28 (when some in the audience are convinced but others would not believe) reveals a lot about the natural condition of man in light of the gospel appeal.   For more about innate "spiritual deadness" watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t9Pa...   For more about the accusation of Pelagianism or Semi-Pelagianism, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1leI...   For more about how to support Soteriology 101 please go here: https://soteriology101.com/support/
