godrulz37, You said: I agree we have a propensity to sin, This is the sin nature that I am talking about. However when God created humans there was no “propensity to sin”. Both Adam and Eve were created in God’s image and the propensity was to be like God in morality. We can no longer say that. In fact that Bible predicts that all of us sin even though most of us were not created at the time it was written. It is because God’s original creation with the propensity to morality was broken down by sin and the propensity to sin is an addition to what God originally created. If we can agree on that, then it doesn’t matter what we call it, we both accept that we will all sin because we have something that God did not create within us. And praise God, one day that propensity to sin will be destroyed and we will be back to the morality that God intended in the first place. I SO look forward to that day! Thanks so much for your gracious attitude in this discussion. I am used to people taking a strip off of me from left to right and then back again. It is a blessing when Christians can discuss these issues and still consider one another worthy of Christian charity!
