Cheryl, I think Ezekial 18:20,”…the son will not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity…the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself…” also makes it difficult to support that all mankind take on the wickedness of the wicked (Adam) in the form of a sin nature. A sin nature is much more than an external consequence, it is a very heavy burden and aspect added to the very core of who a person is.

I do not believe the sin nature theory though I certainly used to. I had just never examined it before. I continue to see it causing many logical problems in this discussion, though it would be time- and space-consuming to resurrect them all here. In terms of logical support and scriptural support-both here and on other blog and websites, I see sin nature as being on par with the comp view of women.
