Read MoreGod’s Word — A Profitable and Practical Reminder from 2 Kings 17

Read MoreDeadness Does Not Mean Complete Deafness- A Brief Response to the Calvinist Concept of Spiritual Deadness
Calvinism would say being spiritually dead means we are completely unable, like a dead body, to respond, even to the Gospel of God (Colossians 2:13), but is this conclusion actually found in the Bible?
