The Doctrine of Total Depravity -- Voddie Baucham -- Sermon Superfluous 

Excellent and moving sermon… Thank you Pastor Baucham for your biblical soundness… for not compromising… for not smoothing out the edges of hard doctrine… I am so grateful for your voice and for GfBC for publishing these works!

Amen!!!!!!!!!!!! Hallelujah, thank you, Jesus!

Father, through your Son Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit please give me strength to keep going because I want to give up. Please hear my prayers. I trust in you and keep faith even as I struggle to take care of my children and myself. As a single mother things are so hard on me. Both of my sons are autistic I’m overwhelmed. I’m constantly struggling to buy groceries and constantly struggling to pay rent and now that I’m home schooling my sons I’m struggling to buy their school supplies. But even in hard times we must choose to have faith. As christians that’s all we can do. No matter your struggle, we can turn to God. He knows us personally and can give us strength to overcome our challenges. Keep trust in our Lord he will always provide Walk with faith.

Thank you Voddie for accepting your calling !

Thank God for this Pastor!!!!

I've listened to this thrice.....and might do so a 4th time! Thank you Pst. Voddie. You've made it very clear.

Powerful sermon, Amen , For we know not what we do and should remain in prayer with God The Father, Jesus His Son , and Our Saviour, The eternal Holy Spirit. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank You Dr Voddie Baucham❤

At the point of justification, no one knows how depraved they were/are. That’s why it’s important to study the character of God to truly understand the depravity of man and then you will properly understand grace.

Wow! What an awe inspiring sermon. We need more Pastors/Teachers like Pastor Baucham. Not afraid to stand up for the truth of God's Holy words. The background pictures are so beautiful.

Amen thank you for the holy word today have a wonderful day 🙏🙏❤

I want to thank you so much for this sermon 🙏

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to *all men* *Teaching us* that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, *in this present world* Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of *the great God* and our Saviour *Jesus Christ* {Titus 2:11-12}

God have mercy on us all.

Thank you lord you didn't kill me yesterday

If you don't understand your depravity you don't know the truth and you are not born again. This knowledge is what frees you. It helps you deny the pride you have of yourself.

Yes,powerful and awakening sermon!

Amen!!!

And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.

The gospel is to be preached to all, because , just because of this doctrine, all are lost. All are under condemnation. ALL MEN ARE DAMNED.

Agreed theres definitely no righteous only Christ can make us righteous but there is plenty of good people in the world.

Thank you

I would say that Paul is not teaching total depravity in Romans 3. He's teaching that all have sinned and need the grace of God. Nowhere in the passage does he teach that men are totally depraved and need to be regenerated to believe. Paul uses the hyperbole in the Psalm to make his point that all are sinners.

How can it be said that man does no good? Does man help his neighbor out? Is he faithful to his spouse? Has he ever shewed mercy to another? Does he show kindness to a fellow human being? In other words…,do human beings do good things in spite of their total depravity?? These scriptures seem to paint a picture of every single human being swift to shed blood, etc. But not every human being is swift to shed blood, there are people who do not shed the blood of others.

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should *seek the Lord* if haply they might feel after him, and find him, *though he be not far from every one of us* For *in him* we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. {Acts 17:24-28}

And said unto them, "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, *and the children crying in the temple and saying Hosanna to the Son of David* they were sore displeased, (For they taught and believe that these little ones were born "vipers in a diaper".) And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? "And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, *Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings* thou hast perfected praise?” {Matthew 21:13-16} A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. {Proverbs 12:23}

There is no need for the distracting music in the background. The word is sufficient.

Thank you for being faithful, Sir Voddie Baucham. Please preach the gospel correctly - your faithful friend

When Jesus Christ is lifted up He draws all men on to Himself YET they don’t all come ! No man seeks after God on his own but God draws them onto Himself BUT God in His sovereignty has given man free will that’s the only reason when He draws all man onto Himself they don’t all come ! I know I don’t believe in free will because I think theirs something good in me because in me and my flesh lies absolutely no good thing ! Did Adam have free Will not to obey God in the garden? If Adam could have had free Will to obey God was God not sovereign in the garden? If Adam had the free Will to obey God in the garden and God was still sovereign why can’t man have free will now and God still be sovereign?

Please take of the background music.

I’m interested in hearing what is the preacher’s understanding on, if God openly sets out a commandment, for all men everywhere to repent. In what way is man accountable to obey? Not necessarily the preacher, maybe other elders in the meeting. And in Genesis chapter 6, we are told that God said “…My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”(v 3)The people in Noah’s day were brought again and again to see the need, to get right with God. And the Spirit of God used Noah, a preacher of righteousness. 2Peter chapter 2 verse 5 says “And spared not the old world, but saved Noah, the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.” Is fallen man’s makeup fully able the receive this call or unable to respond?

I seem to be hearing a very off putting drone in the background - anyone else?

What Is The Gospel?

For some reason that background music don't fit the Word of God. I just don't like it.

no one has faith: genuine faith no one's faith can be tested blameless no one's faith abides in God's promises no one's faith abides in God's grace no one's faith abides in covenant relationship with God by faith no one worships God no one abides in the authority of God's covenant love: Chessed. everyone's faith has been twisted by & in Adam: iniquity No one's faith can have standing before God's Face. none! Helpless in our worthless faith; we are all unrighteous- that is covenant unfaithfulness unwilling to abide in covenant by listening to God's Voice; fulfilling our Vow. by works of faith no one can be justified, not Abraham, no us: none. But God gave His Gift: His Dorean; One who is Faithful abiding in Covenant, abiding in the authority of Chessed, One who abides in the Father's grace; abiding in the Father's promises; On whom the Chessed of God would not depart: when His faith was tested: even to His death on that Cross- He did not turn His Face; Tested: Blameless, declared Righteous. God gave the unmerited & undeserving Gift of Righteousness: His Firstborn Son: The Author of Faith, that we may be joined to Him in an irrevocable union of Covenant Love- to share of His Faithfulness: that we might know the love the Father had for the Son from before the foundation of the world- that we might as Christ is be Holy & Blameless before the Father's Face in love: Never turning in the Fear of the LORD. by simple faith in the Gospel- the testimony of the Father about His Firstborn Son. [It is of] Jehovah's lovingkindnesses (to His Firstborn Son: 2 Sam 7; Psalm 89; Jer 16:5) that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. - Lamentations 3:22 ASV They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness. - Lamentations 3:23 ASV that is: the Faithfulness of Christ!

Everyone is condemned even if they are righteous by nature and not under the law, condemnation came from Adam, Jesus can remove the curse of death for those who prove their righteousness. Paul is not quoting God when talks of depravity, as Jesus did, Voddie this addresses the lost sheep of Israel as Jesus did.

I’m telling ya… whoever decided to play that background music should be fired. It’s only distracting. It does NOT make the sermon more profound. Yes, this one is quieter than previous backgrounds. And c’mon! It’s TWO CHORDS repeated hundreds of times. Stop it!

Only a reprobate mind would call an infant "a viper in a diaper". “But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.” {Matthew12:36}

PUSH EM BACK! PUSH EM BACK! WAY BACK > 🤪 THERE'S A SAYING: Wisdom is knowing the difference between cornering someone and winning them into your corner! Football (Violent Sports) Loving Pastors always RAISE THEIR VOICES when it looks like their team is LOSING > 🤪! They get FRUSTRATED when their TEAM PLAYERS keep fumbling the BALL > or in this case, The Word of God! QUESTION: Is Voddie SERIOUSLY TRYING to talk SENSE into TOTALLY DEAD & DEPRAVED PEOPLE? Totally Dead People like HE WAS once upon a time > 🤪 LIKE I WAS TOO > 🤪 I only included "ME" because you'd "ALL" most likely get upset IF I DIDN'T! That's one of the strangest things about Christians! You'd think that WE would know better than to REACT in such a PRIDEFUL way especially when the LORD is right there with US! QUESTION: How many totally dead and depraved people get saved inside a motel room BY THEMSELVES? 1). Then someone leads them to a Bible in the drawer next to the bed! 2). Someone gets them to open that Bible to pages designed specifically for them! 3). That same someone opens their spiritual eyes and they leave the motel room singing a New song (John 9:25) > 😇 WHO was that SOMEONE in the motel room with them? As if YOU didn't know > 🤪 QUESTION! Is anyone ever alone > NOT! I'll bet you thought YOU were ALONE when YOU where doing NASTY things while looking at your-SELF in a mirror! I thought I was alone when I was doing nasty stuff too! BUT SURPRISE > 🤪 Guess WHO was right there with US all the time and STILL IS? ANOTHER QUESTION: Have you ever wondered why Our Father God allows "ALL" these false preachers (Including SMILING Joel) to look and sound FAR MORE JOYFUL than Voddie? Far more JOY > FILLED than John MacArthur, Justin Peters, Stephen Lawson, John Piper and Paul Washer? Why do their FACES look unveiled while Our Pastor's faces look VEILED (2 Corinthians 3:16-18) > 😷 The key word is "TEST!" So when WE talk to dead people or ANYONE, make sure WE are Joyfully praying with CONFIDENCE that The LORD will lead them to repentance & to a knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 2:23-26; and 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) > 😇 We must be KIND to everyone, NOT RESENTFUL, and thus able to TEACH > 😀 CONFESSION: I HATE LISTENING to MACHO MEN speaking the WORD OF GOD in a TONE OF VOICE that lacks CONFIDENCE IN LOVE (GOD IS) > ❤ 1). Brother Voddie sounds and looks like a JACKHAMMER > 💥 2). John MacArthur sounds and acts like a machine gun spiting out BULLETS and I believe that he enjoys offending sinners > 💥 Pastor John even SPIKES THE WORD into our hearts from time to time after he passes HIS GOAL LINE > 💥 3). John Piper and Justin Peters are just way TOO SENSITIVE and should be casting "ALL" their cares onto the LORD who has broad shoulders and would make a great Football Player but (Luke 11:17)! 4). I just don't like Stephen Lawsen's voice even when I'm Spirit filled. I heard him boast of his love of FOOTBALL which is a heathen game that nullifies Romans 13:10 completely > 🤪 5). As for Paul Washer - He has ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE IN THE EVERY KNEE WILL BOW SCRIPTURES > Or in Romans 11:32-36. Maybe "ALL" doesn't really mean "ALL" > "ALL" of the time? Well, I think that I've said enough and perhaps just a little TOO MUCH! But I needed the TARGET PRACTICE and the Bible says that Our Leaders are "ALL" qualified to handle just about anything or anybody (1 Timothy 3:1-13) > WOW! So please continue being blameless and spotless and "ALL" that godly stuff by forgiving me for coming on SO STRONG > 🤪 Don't give the devil a FOOTHOLD and stop promoting VIOLENT SPORTS (1 Corinthians 13:11) > 🤪 Please give my love to Pastor Dave Rolph. He boasts about his love of watching MMA on his churches website and I think that's DETESTABLE > 🤪 Romans 13:10 NKJV Love does NO HARM to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. LAST QUESTION: Have I won you "ALL" into MY corner > 🤪 Losing can be fun! In fact it's the only way God will accept US! Isn't that what Voddie is saying so LOUDLY > 🤪

Bro that baby keeps crying 😂

You are interpreting Romans 3 Calvistically. Notice you keep referring to it as a DOCTRINE.

Calvinism is heresy 🔥🐍

The deadening obtrusive music added to some of the sermons is dumb and unnecessary. Whoever is responsible should be removed from your church..plz quit ruining these great sermons immediately.

Total Depravity is false, this passage is prophets talking to hypocritical Jews, not about mankind in general. The context is that no sinner is righteous with God I have a Ytube video series 'Myths in so-called Christianity', the truth is not in this video but in the NT. We are all under sin from Adam, sin being judicial condemnation due to Adam not ourselves, but Jesus can take away that false penalty if you have not sinned.
