Perfect And Complete In All Respects (continued) In the second place, this entire notion is based on some kind of false antithesis between religion and life, between grace and nature, and it attempts to confine our religion and morals to a very narrow and isolated portion of the whole of our life. This is an altogether unrealistic and untenable view. For, first of all, the categories faith-and-life, doctrine-and-practice, or, religion-and-morals, apply to the whole of our life and to every sphere of our life. And it is a very unscriptural and un-Reformed view that would make a separation, and would exclude...

As To Total Depravity  One of the chief objections raised against the doctrine of total depravity is the truth of original sin.  What is meant by this?  We must call attention to the following elements: 

In Harmony with the Orthodox Fathers (continued) In general, as the article suggests, these attacks have been from two quarters: from without the church and from within. First of all, mention is made of the Jews and of the Mohammedans. By the Jews, of course, is meant the unbelieving Jews. And it is their denial of the Christ that also leads them to deny the Trinity. This is necessarily the case. You cannot deny Christ, the only begotten Son of God, and still maintain the doctrine of the Trinity.
