Quotes to Consider:
Canons of Dordt, 3rd & 4th Heads, Art.
1-3: "Man was originally formed after the image of God. His
understanding was adorned with a true and saving knowledge of his
Creator, and of spiritual things; his heart and will were upright;
all his affections pure; and the whole man was holy; but revolting
from God by the instigation of the devil, and abusing the freedom of
his own will, he forfeited these excellent gifts; and on the
contrary entailed on himself blindness of mind, horrible darkness,
vanity and perverseness of judgment, became wicked, rebellious, and
obdurate in heart and will, and impure in his affections. Man after
the fall begat children in his own likeness. A corrupt stock
produced a corrupt offspring. Hence all the posterity of Adam,
Christ only excepted, have derived corruption from their original
parent, not by imitation, as the Pelagians of old asserted, but by
the propagation of a vicious nature. Therefore all men are conceived
in sin, and by nature children of wrath, incapable of saving good,
prone to evil, dead in sin, and in bondage thereto, and without the
regenerating grace of the Holy Spirit, they are neither able nor
willing to return to God, to reform the depravity of their nature,
nor to dispose themselves to reformation."
