I also continue to be surprised to see the term ’sin nature’ bandied about so freely, as though it were somehow explicitly or even implicitly stated in the passages we are addressing. It is no more explicit nor implicit than are the terms ’head’, ’headship’, ’authority over’, etc., as pertaining to Adam and Eve, as the comps try to say are ’right there in the context’. I can understand why it might be very tempting to think it is there, in either case, but it is NOT there, and that is what deserves our attention.

I agree. But what then should I call Adam’s continuous rebellion or fallen track record? If there’s a better way to convey it, so be it. How about fallen nature?
