Sojourner,

You Said
"I don't see total depravity after Christ. That would mean Christ failed in His mission."

You are the one saying that Christ failed in His mission, because you insist that man has the ability to choose good from evil, and deny the gift of salvation. If Christ only accomplished the possibility of salvation, then it is hypothetically possible than NO ONE would choose to accept the gift and Christ died for nothing!

Christ came to redeem ONLY those that the Father had given Him, no others. See John 17:6 and John 17:9.

The next discussion you need to have is about the supposed "free will" you think man has! I pray that your eyes will be opened to the Truth of the Word, but first you must learn basic grammatical structure, of English and then Hebrew and Greek. Then you would be able to read the Bible yourself and not have it dictated and interpreted for you!

In His Hands,

Ruth
