But it is a serious debate for less mature Christians and a debate for more mature ones that just like to argue.
The immaturity characteristic comes from believing there is a debate, at all.
The ultimate disagreement is a philosophical one, not a biblical one.
The Bible teaches Total Depravity in almost every chapter and The Doctrines of Grace in every chapter, cover to cover. They reveal man and God as they are and not how man thinks they might be.
The denial of Total Depravity is a surefire way to A.) not understand how God saves people through His Son, exclusively, and not with any help from lost sinners and, therefore, understand precious little of the content of the Bible and/or B.) be lost, because the person's soul has not reached the end of itself, to be lost, and have an indispensable need for Christ alone.
Mankind is not the author of any part of their salvation, in any way, at any time.
To say otherwise is simply non-Biblical, A to Z, and a philosophy painted onto the pages of the proper interpretation of scripture, yes..
Salvation in Jesus is not a philosophy.
Jesus is the Savior.
Because God is God and man is not.
