Total Depravity (the "T" in TULIP) - "...is the teaching that, as a consequence of the Fall of Man, every person born into the world is enslaved to the service of sin and, apart from the efficacious or prevenient grace of God, is utterly UNABLE to choose to follow God, refrain from evil, or accept the gift of salvation as it is offered."
"Utterly UNABLE", Billy. Does that sound, to you, like everyone has a choice? Anyone and everyone CAN choose God, if they wish?? Nope, Calvinists most definitely do not believe that. Heck, I'm attending a Reformed Church...I KNOW that is not what they believe.
