The Doctrine of Total Depravity

In this episode of Real Christianity, Pastor Dale Partridge begins a three-part series on refuting Catholic doctrines about Mary, focusing first on the perpetual virginity of Mary. Drawing on both Scripture and theological analysis, Dale critiques Catholic claims by examining biblical evidence, including references to Jesus' siblings, which challenge the idea of Mary’s perpetual virginity.

For Protestants, refuting these doctrines is vital to upholding biblical authority and Christ-centered theology.

In this episode of Real Christianity, Pastor Dale Partridge addresses the doctrine of "Perseverance of the Saints," also known as "Once Saved, Always Saved," a central tenet of Calvinism. He explains that true salvation, once granted by God's grace, cannot be lost because it is God who sustains the believer's faith, not human effort. Pastor Dale contrasts this with the legalistic belief that one can lose salvation and must work to keep it, highlighting that faith is a divine gift rather than an intellectual decision. Through scriptural references, he emphasizes that saving faith is a supernatural trust in Christ, produced by the Holy Spirit, and that our spiritual life and understanding are entirely dependent on God's initiative, not our own will or works.
