Too Dead to Hear the Gospel? (Refuting Regeneration Before Faith)

Is your prodigal child waiting to be “zapped”? Many theology textbooks say they’re a “corpse.”The reformed theologians admit they can physically hear the words you say, but claim they’re spiritually unable to respond to them. They teach that until God secretly “regenerates” them (makes them alive), the Gospel is just noise to their dead spirit.Calvinists say they must be Alive before they can Believe.But that puts the cart before the horse.If “Regeneration precedes Faith,” why does Jesus explicitly say in John 5:25 that the dead will HEAR His voice… and those who hear will live?In this episode, we take a magnifying glass to the “T” in TULIP (Total Inability). We show through Scripture that spiritual life is not the cause of faith, but the result of it. Your prodigal doesn’t need to be “zapped” to hear the Shepherd; they need to stop covering their ears.The Gospel is the power of God. It doesn’t need a head start.We cover:The Sequence Error: Why “Life before Faith” is functionally impossible.The Lazarus Fallacy: Why the tomb isn’t a proof-text for Calvinism.The Mother’s Hope: Why God is drawing them right now, and the choice is truly theirs.Stop waiting for a zap. Start praying for surrender.Listen to the full, uncut teaching on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/cw/JDavidWyatt
