If nothing else, this period of time serves as an illustration and proof of the total depravity of man, a central doctrine of the Christian faith that has been abandoned for some time in favor of a silly and naive belief that "there is a little good in all of us." God's grace is needed not only for salvation but in all we do for without Him we can do nothing good.
What held for the Apostles, for Augustine, for Calvin still holds for us. What you say is core truth. And what I see so far in today's Comment is a lot of noise shirting Christian Truth. And really, an illustration of "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge." The only human comfort of the day for me is that Evil consumes itself. Daily the Evil Empire destroys itself a bit more. And yet ... the cost to us personally is apt to be horrific. (Deo Gloria!)
They are so evil and disgusting!!!
