Has Humanity Reached Total Depravity? (Part One)
CGG Weekly by Richard T. RitenbaughJust before the Noachian Flood, the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Humanity had degenerated from being very good at creation to becoming wicked and rotten to the core. In a relatively short time, mankind regressed from unspoiled to a state of total depravity, losing contact with the God of creation. The LORD observed and scrutinized humanity's behavior over an extended period, watching their steady moral deterioration from the expulsion of our first parents from the Garden until the Flood. This decline was not a short-term event but a continuous corrosion from purity to wickedness. The wickedness of mankind was great, indicating they were truly evil, corrupt, and depraved, with their evil multiplying exponentially, leaving a diminishing chance of repentance or revival. This wickedness was a universal condition, pervasive across the entire earth, with no region spared from the destruction sin brings. God's solution to such universal sin was universal punishment through a global Flood. The intent of pre-Flood humans was wholly evil, with their wicked attitudes driving thoughts and actions that produced more corruption, spoiling everything they touched. Their hearts were only evil, with no good remaining, and this evil was ceaseless and perpetual. From the time they woke until they returned to bed, the people of Noah's day thought only evil thoughts and followed through with evil deeds. Every person's every thought was, from the outset, altogether evil all the time, depicting a state of total moral depravity.
