This minisode is the second in a three podcast series that will examine John Wesley's theology in regards to Total Depravity. We will return again and read more from Wesley's "The Doctrine of Original Sin." Wesley is even clearer in this section about his thoughts in regards to the natural state of man. He is very clear that man in his natural state is totally depraved and unable to come to God without Divine Grace. In the section we will be reading through a section where Wesley focuses on the will. If you listen to this episode and still claims Wesley was Pelagian or Semi-Pelagian then you either need to listen to the episode again or learn what these terms actually mean. Share this episode with your Reformed friends. It will shock them.

This minisode will launch a three podcast series that will examine John Wesley's theology in regards to Total Depravity. To do so we will be reading a selection from Wesley's "The Doctrine of Original Sin." Wesley emphasized the total depravity and inability of man in his natural state VERY STRONGLY. You will get the picture after listening to this minisode. If you want to read through selections of John Wesley's "The Doctrine of Original Sin" check out the link below.

Happy New Year! We will start off this episode discussing the most significant loss of 2016: Methodist Theologian Thomas C. Oden. We will briefly discuss his life and our favorite works by him. Then we will move on and talk about the views of Jacob Arminius on the doctrine of Total Depravity. There is SO MUCH false information floating around about what Arminius taught on Total Depravity. Hopefully this episode will clear up some misconceptions. We then finish the episode discussing the VERY non-Arminian theology of Philip Limborch and mourning that his theology is confused with the theology of Arminius. As usual, we receive help from Keith D. Stanglin, Thomas H. McCall, and Roger E. Olson.
