Total Depravity takes away from Total Guilit. If we say we couldn't help but sin because of our condition as sinners, we are saying we are not completely at fault for our sins. We must consider ourselves the sinner, the one who did wickedness. We must believe in choice to sin, in order to admit we are the sinner. If we believe total depravity we are not confessing our sins like we are guilty.
I believe it is very important for every believer to have an understanding of and conviction from the Holy Spirit through the scriptures concerning the total depravity of all men, before a holy God, but at the same time to realize that one soul in the eyes of God is worth more than to gain the whole world (Mt 16:26)...
26 For what is a man profited , if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
This is the depravity of man, which is to possess and gain all things that this world could provide, yet lose their own soul and become lost to eternal life provided by their Maker through the Lord Jesus Christ. The total depravity of being so blind that they can not discern or perceive where they will end up even though they possess all things and have need of nothing. They never see or realize that it has been the goodness of God that has provided the air they breath and the hand of God the food they and their family have to eat. They never acknowledge God for their existence and for how God has created them in the womb and given them life through conception. If this is the perception of the man in the depravity of his unbelief, what should ours be that have believed? Are we to be as arrogant and live in the self conceit of ignorance as those that have no fear of God?

Muslimism is a little more dangerous than Cessationism. But both of them have a danger. Your view of 9-11 is stupid Zone. We all know who did it. It was not the U.S. government. You are like a Cessationist at a Pentecostal party. No one in the U.S. would believe that we did it to ourselves. They would have to be stupid. We know the Muslims were on the planes. We know they do suicidal war. And they told us that they did it! What more do you need?
If someone murdered your friends or countrymen you would hope God blessed the government to catch them. I don't know what nationality you really are since you change it, but if it was your country I don't think you would be against it. God blesses the police and the military to bring people to justice. That's not blaspheme; it's the answer to prayer.

What hypocrisy to slaughter the muslims for a mispercieved attack by those of the Islamic faith on 911!
Zone is right Jonathan about 911 whether you choose to believe or not is irrelevant. Do you really think the media in your country has told you everything as it happened? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA that's funny!
Look at your own history and learn from it. JFK we all know who's responsible for that don't we?
Quit looking at it from a nationalistic point of view rather look at it as a monetarily and power based one
without political borders. Politics is how the big boys play in the sandbox using candidates hand picked
by the upper eschalon to bring their vision of how the world should be into being. How many of your last
12 presidents are Skull and Bonesman?

That's all crap. That's your hatred for the USA. Information about Muslims is not all from the US government and we are not the only country they attacked. It's world news. They attacked other countries aswell. It's not U.S. history that we blow up ourselves. The U.S. government has no history of killing it's own citizens. Would you believe it was your government if it happened to you? It doesn't make since, especially if you know how the government works. They didn't get anything from it. It's stupid to think the US government had anything to do with it.
1 No it's the truth
2 I do not hate any nation including the U.S.A.
3 The Muslims are the scapegoat............... not the enemy! Come on! LOL
4 The majority of world news is owned and operated by royters international or the associated press who's owners are the most likely candidates for the 911 conspiracy as it has come to be known actually
5 The U.S. is guilty of many crimes perpetrated on it's own citizens especially military personnel!
6 once again it's not about the whole government thing it doesn't take a whole Government to pull off a job like this maybe as few as 24 people involved most of which would be eliminated on 911 or shortly thereafter!
If it wasn't for the likes of Aaron Russo and Alex Jones you would not even be aware of it at all!
No one is blaming the entire government just those at the top who knew of the impending doom and did nothing because they were in on it from the get go. Look up Aarron Russo on youtube and see for yourself

Would that be the United States (US) or United States of America (USA). Few know the crucial difference. For those who don't... God help you, but you likely wouldn't believe it if you were told.
BTW... JFK was assassinated because he issued an Executive Order to return us to a precious metals standard, issue national currency, and abolish the private Fed. Reckon who might have been miffed about that?!
Everybody just tends to the 9-5, mortgage, and VISA bill while singing Kum-ba-ya.
