WARNING: Jesse Morrell who is here on Youtube under the screen name of BibleTheology ( http://youtube.com/user/BibleTheology ) is a vigorous proponent of Pelagian's heresies. He has such an affinity for Pelagius and his heresies that he is on record for saying,
"I think some people will be surprised when they see that Charles Finney is in Heaven but Augustine and John Calvin are in hell."
He then provides an example of what the logical outcome of Pelagianism will lead a person to (self-righteousness):
"Honestly, my heart is right before God."
Here, we learn that the heart which is "deceitful above all things and desperately wicked" of which the Holy Spirit inspired Jeremiah to ask the rhetorical question, "Who can know it?" (Jer. 17:9) has apparently been figured out by Mr. Morrell as evidenced by his claim that he knows his heart is right before God. You can read these quotes here for yourself along with others he has made: http://youtube.com/comment_servlet?al...
Beware of the theology put forth by his Youtube channel. It is not Biblical.
Pelagianism is a theological theory named after Pelagius (ca. 354 -- ca. 420/440). It is the belief that original sin did not taint human nature (which God called very good), and that mortal will is still capable of choosing good or evil without Divine aid. Thus, Adam's sin was "to set a bad example" for his progeny, but his actions did not have the other consequences imputed to Original Sin. Pelagianism views the role of Jesus as "setting a good example" for the rest of humanity (thus counteracting Adam's bad example). In short, humanity has full control, and thus full responsibility, for its own salvation in addition to full responsibility for every sin (the latter insisted upon by both proponents and opponents of Pelagianism). According to Pelagian doctrine, because humanity does not require God's grace for salvation (beyond the creation of will), Jesus' execution is devoid of the redemptive quality ascribed to it by orthodox Christian theology.

In Adam all men die,but Jesus came so man could live,He is the second Adam.If All men die because of Adam,no one is using him as a scapegoat.He is the reason that we all are not only dead in our sin and are unable to come to God ,but his legacy has made us purely evil while we are natural men and women unable to choose God ,He's also the reason that all men die physically.These are the flaws that we ALL have INHERITED.
Man does exactly what his heart desires,but God uses man's sin to accomplice His own goals.God has decreed the beginning till the end.Most free willers that I know believe that God has to work His plan out around man's will,that's just crazy.God is working with a stacked deck and marked cards.I do as I please,says the Lord of Hosts!
@CBALLEN: and you obviously don't realize that your theology makes God the author of sin. If man has no free will, he can not be held accountable for his actions... your God is a Cosmic Caligula, nothing more, nothing less
Man is like a car that's in gear and the excelarators stuck wide open,ready to drive into sin as fast as we can go.God must keep our brakes on,for the most part or we would crash and burn many times over.The way that God hardens our heart is by taking the brakes off,he doesn't have to push the gas.
LOL... just call Pelagius a heretic, so you don't have to actually think about what he said... I'll take Pelagius over Augustine, Luther, Calvin and each and every pope anyday.
In your opinion then,man's will ultimately overides God's will,because what you are saing is,God calls a man to Jesus,but he doesn't have to come.The Greek word for "draw" means to drag,overcome all resistence,bring by violence! Yet you will claim that man is more powerful than God and can make himself BORN AGAIN! Jesus didn't come to make bad men good,he came to make dead men live.
TennesseeOwnsMyBones,you obviously don't realize it,but you are nothing more than Roman Catholic light,if you believe it is man that chooses God.Man ,in the flesh,can only choose a false god by his free will.If you are saved,it is only because God made you BORN AGAIN first so you could repent and believe.
1 John 1:8 = If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. =
James 2:10 = For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.
Gal 3:24 = Therefore the Law has become our tutor {to lead us} to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.
Everyone is guilty of breaking the law. Your presuppositions lead you to your faulty conclusion. Let us reason from Scripture to see what the Lord says.

For God to obligate man to that which man is incapable is obviously tyrannical
