"Your Children Are Evil!" Voddie Baucham

In his defense of the Reformed doctrine Total Depravity, Voddie Baucham has repeatedly called children evil, claiming they're "Vipers in Diapers". Voddie, like all Augustinians, holds a view of inherited or imputed sin and guilt which is at odds with the text of Scripture.

This is but a short compilation intending to highlight his absurd claims and note the dangers such beliefs can entail; particularly with regard to how Total Depravity can lead to child abuse. Moreover, in telling people they sin because they're a sinner, this doctrine makes sin natural, numbing the conscience to remorse, while claiming repentance is impossible. It is our hope that such a presentation provokes adherents of Augustinian philosophy to be good Bereans and search the Scriptures on this matter.
