 with regard to the deadness issue much of the same thing that there's been a lot of play from the Calvinist about dead means dead and dead means you're unable and obviously dead corpses are unable to respond to anything so that that's what it means but even Calvinists aren't taking it that literally because even in Ephesians it says they're walking in accordance with the the world the prince the power and the spirit working in other words dead men don't walk either but dead men don't I mean you have a lot of different responses to the gospel from quote unquote dead men some of are apathetic to the scriptures some are vitriolic and mean and angry towards the scriptures some are very interested for a long time and ask a lot of questions genuinely trying to figure these things out there's a ton of different kinds of responses none of which would be consistent with a true corpse like corpse and so even Calvinist are interpreting dead idiomatically in some way and so the question is what does the scripture mean when it uses the term spiritually dead and I think if we look at examples like the prodigal son which was said to be he's once dead but now he's alive he's lost but he was found that that's that's a good idiomatic way of understanding deadness as being separated due to rebellion and that how do you how do you overcome that will you draw near you come home and so what is the solution for spiritual deadness well John 2031 says these things have been written so that you may believe and that by believing you may have life in his name so what do you need to do in order to get new life you believe in Jesus and so you come to the life giver Jesus said in John 540 you refuse to come to me so that you may live he didn't say I refuse to make you alive so that you would come to me he's putting that on them you come to the life giver you eat of his flesh you drink of his blood as he goes on in John 6 to argue in order to get new life you're not unilaterally made alive regenerated in order to to believe that I think that's where the odor salute us the order is backwards on the Calvinistic system is that people are made alive in order to believe on Calvinism and I'm saying you know you come to Jesus in order to be made alive because you were once dead separated due to your rebellion and the solution to that deadness is to come back to the life giver so as to receive new life in him now at some point in time where I want I'm trying to I'm trying my best to hold off we'll get to the you part and this issue of regeneration because that would be an easy segue right there but I'm trying to hold off because I want to cover some of the other things as well but so I and I agree I agree because now I have the one thing that I push more than anything else is that we shouldn't have a conclusion based hermeneutic our hermeneutic needs to be defined and it should be consistent so me having I have a literal grammatical historical hermeneutic which does which doesn't mean that I have to take every single word literally and so when we come to this word necrosse dead that mean that you're absolutely dead because it literally says and put it back on the screen it speaks of idiomatically what does he mean by dead and he says in sins in your trespasses that's how you did not necessarily actually dead deadly as though you can't do anything because we see as you say in the passage someone is doing something but then also the prodigal son and so what does it mean dead I think it just simply means to be separated just like the prodigal son just like we also see in in roman 6 in roman 6 and so now before I get to how we we start dealing with how you become alive there's a little bit of difference between you and I but there's also a little bit of between you you and I and the Calvinist as well and so I think that for me and I think you agree that totally depraved I don't have a problem with it with the term but then again depending upon depending upon who you ask what does this term mean since there's no board no council that sits around says this is what this word means this is what this means and so you ask five Calvinists you're going to get you may get five five different arguments or definitions and so and I know I've seen different times where on your channel you're dealing with a Calvinist a Calvinistic interpretation that's not like this other person's Calvinist interpretation so therein lies the problem in many cases but I I don't see dead meaning dead that you can't do anything because again in the Old Testament we see people who same thing and they respond and so the issue is and we'll deal with this a little bit but how do they respond
