Why Does He Still Find Fault? by Ra McLaughlin
Question: If God created men with a sin nature, then it is impossible for men to live a perfect life, yet God holds them accountable for their sins. Mankind does not "choose" to be born, and does not choose to be sinful -- we're just born that way. God ordains the sin nature and then punishes man for what he can't help. That seems to me like creating a creature with stripes and then punishing it because you don't like stripes. How is this good/fair?

On Free Will, by John Calvin

The Canons of the Council of Orange an outgrowth of the controversy between Augustine and Pelagius. This controversy had to do with degree to which a human being is responsible for his or her own salvation, and the role of the grace of God in bringing about salvation. The Pelagians held that human beings are born in a state of innocence, i.e., that there is no such thing as a sinful nature or original sin. The Council of Orange dealt with the Semi-Pelagian doctrine that the human race, though fallen and possessed of a sinful nature, is still "good" enough to able to lay hold of the grace of God through an act of unredeemed human will. The Council held to Augustine's view and repudiated Pelagius. The following canons greatly influenced the Reformed doctrine of Total Depravity.
