Can God Justly Punish Under Total Inability?

About this sermon

If people are born unable to believe the gospel, is it just for God to hold them accountable for unbelief? In this debate, the doctrine of Total Inability is challenged by asking a fundamental question about justice and responsibility. If someone cannot believe due to a condition they were born with and cannot control, can they rightly be judged for rejecting the truth? The discussion explores key biblical passages, the nature of human depravity, and whether Scripture teaches that people are born unable to respond to God's appeals for reconciliation. The central issue: Are people condemned because they cannot believe, or because they refuse the truth when it is revealed to them? This clip comes from a theological discussion on Total Depravity, Total Inability, and human responsibility before God.
