A La Carte (12/7)

Dude,
Apparently you think the heart is all wicked because of a verse in Jeremiah 17. What do you do with this sampling of passages that suggest otherwise? (It took me 10 minutes to put these together.)
Are you building a doctrine from one passage? Don’t go quoting other Calvinists…just respond to the scriptures themselves. Does a desperately wicked heart rejoice in the Lord? Ask if a desperately wicked heart fits with any of this list of verses Dude. I look forward to your reply.
Apparently God doesn’t think the hearts of His people are all bad.
