Well for anyone who took notice of the first sermon part 1, which was mainly about where the doctrine of depravity originated from, namely saint Augustine, but it was meant for Good.

Here's the follow up

Another very insightful sermon that does show heart and care for the fallen.

In this sermon the key point is

Total depravity effected a certain aera of the body namely his moral spiritual will to do moral good things, but not his ability to make a choice. I believe there's a chance for agreement here in this reformed theology.

What's was lost was mans moral will to do things on a spiritual level to do things that where spiritualy good.

The doctrine of total depravity translates into a spiritual moral inability

Arguments against that Adams fall only effected Adam.




Here's the sermon

Reactions: Deuteronomy
So it looks like total depravity did not mean utter depravity, meaning after fall we still had the ability to choose by his will.
