Few Christians outright argue against the doctrine of the depravity of man – the biblical concept of man’s inherent sinfulness and tendency towards rebellion against God. A glance at Jeremiah 17:9 (“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?”) or Romans 3:10-11 (“As it is written: ‘There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.’”) is sufficient to establish the truth of the matter for a Bible-believer.
