How should we be looking at verses that sound like "total depravity", as with "in flesh there dwells no good thing" and our works are "filthy rags"? [Isaiah 64:6, Romans 7:18-19, Philippians 3:6, Romans 7:23, Philemon 1:6].
Some teachers teach some truth and some error, and I challenge their credibility, such as the doctrine "Total Depravity", like John McArthur's view. Is that view true? [Psalms 14:2, Romans 3:11, Genesis 6:5, Jeremiah 13:23, Isaiah 64:6, I Thessalonians 5:21-23].
Should we be using the verse about our "righteousness is filthy rags" when evangelism? [Isaiah 64:6, Acts 10:4, Isaiah 29:13, Isaiah 1:14, Proverbs, Jeremiah 13:23, Jeremiah 17:9, Proverbs 15:8, Proverbs 21:27].
If we all deserve hell, and our works are as filthy rags, how does it work for those that have never really had any breaks or opportunity to know Christ? [Isaiah 64:6, Proverbs 15:8, Proverbs 21:27, Titus 2:14, Acts 10:34, I Timothy 2:4, 2 Chronicles 7:14, 2 Peter 3:9, Ezekiel 33:11].
How does one determine whether a certain scripture applies to a specific person or group, or whether it is more universally to be understood? [Jeremiah 13:23, Isaiah 64:6, Jeremiah 17:9, Genesis 6:5].
