1st Person Calvinism

Total Depravity is the first of the five points of Christianity, yet are only understood after one is a literal new creation in Jesus Christ. There is no such thing as "agreement with" the five points or any one of them prior to or after being non-metaphorically born again as a real, literal, new creation in Jesus Christ.

The Truth of Total Deparvity and Original Sin demonstrates the worthlessness of mere emotional manipulation as non-creating speech into shame, guilt or some other emotion in order to seem to push anyone into 'choosing Jesus'. Very obviously there is no choice to be made and no power of choice at all.

To be totally depraved is, among other things, to be encapsulated in non-creating speech, to have an unwitting lens and agenda of non-creation and to be deceived no such thing exist as God as Word. Very plainly, original sin was and is original entering into the world of a speech not-God and the passing on to the next generation of that non-creating speech which is not-God as the next generation's native language irrespective of ethnicity or geography.

That one thing by itself is enough to be totally depraved: to be encapsulated in non-creating speech as one's native and only language.

Hear God as Incarnate Word/Christ/Creating Speech Speak to those who grew up in language/speech that could create nothing deceived that their speech was the only speech in total reality (that their own speech and all the speech of all the nations was non-creating --those who took thier que as to what language is and should be from pagans so as to be pagans themselves...) and they were masters of it, having been educated within it and expressly deceived that God was NOT His Word but that God and man shared a 'medium' of speech in which God delivered to man 'holy info' that was up to man to perform and expressly that outright creation by Speech simply "isn't what words are for." 

 Note that God does not call them "people with a bad world view" or "mistaken perons" or "un-educated persons" or "good people with bad info." He very plainly calls them sons of Satan.

John 8:43-47 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not inthe truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.  And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.  Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?  He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Very plainly they were not having a 'Hebrew problem' or a 'Greek problem' or a 'Aramaic problem'. They were speaking two different speaks and each was loyal to it's own speech. God as Word very plainly declared to them that He was not the word they worshipped. In their blindness as to what reality is and how reality works, they were totally deceived that they and God were speaking equivalent speech and in fact were sharing speech to 'communicate' with each other and that no new creation was on-going as He Spoke.

God as Word speaks to us in the Holy Bible as Himself, as Spirit, Life, Love and Truth and Way:

Isaiah 48:6-10 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them. They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.  Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.  For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

  The total depraved will seem to honor God with lips of non-creation all day. A totally depraved person, in the only speech they have, will say "Sure God can create. But we don't know how." thereby seeming to keep "freedom of speech" for themselves intact as not declaring their own speech powerless. They will say "Lord, Lord!" but be cast into eternal fire in the end reserved for those who said they have freedom of speech as an ability ( as opposed to the godly political doctrine ):

Psalm 12:2-4 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:  Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

Note that the totaly depraved say very explicitly that they are powerful expressly becuase they think they have freedom of speech. Even they know that any power is built on speech. Yet the only speech that is the foundation of all their thought sis the mind of Satan and the voice of the dead: anti-Christ/anti-Word of God: Original sin. For sin IS that non-creating speech. It is lie expressly becuase it is powerless to effect what it says.

So the totally depraved are caught in original sin, and are totally deceived, and must be born again into the Word of God by the Word of God Speaking to them when and hwere God as Word/Christ Jesus decides to do that. That speaking of God to those chosen by God who are totally in sin and totally deceived is called forgiveness, repentance, grace, their belief, their new birth, gift of faith to them, and God non-metaphorically as Word taking up residence in them as they are now new creation in Jesus Christ.

They cannot save themselves via "choice" no matter what they say or supposedly 'do' in non-creating speech. There is no free will expressly because they knew nothing of God as He truly is prior to being non-metaphorically born again. God explicitly says this:

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

We are rescued from the non-creating speech of sin and all the evil within it, both temporally and eternally as living  now in God as Total Trinity. God explicitly says that we have been born again expressly by Him as Word,

1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

After new birth, then we know the difference between God as Word and non-creating speech/origianl sin. Prior to new birth, all those encapsulated in non-creating speech are perfectly deceived that they know what reality is and how it worls. All their experience and all their 'knowledge'/'logic' and all their neighbor's speech, even in "a different language" of the same seems to 'prove' it to them.

1 John 4:4-6 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore they speak of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
