Bible Question:
Question (full): Please stop arguing with Ken and answer my questions. Is the sin nature a substance or a mindset? Has the sin nature been eradicated and replaced by the new nature? Or does the sin nature remain in the believer and battle against the new nature? Is the sin nature the same thing as the flesh? What is the new nature? Is it God in me or is it a part of me that is a new creation? Is the new nature a substance or a mind set? Blessings, Pam |

Bible Answer: Dear Pam, The sin nature is the inclination of man's heart toward that which is wicked. Before we were born again, we were slaves to sin and were captive to the devil to do his will (2 Tim 2:26). Christ has rescued us and freed us from our captivity. He has placed within us a new heart that is inclined toward good. Yet we still struggle against what is left (the remnants) of our old man's nature. Nevertheless we are to consider our old nature as dead and crucifed! The Bible does use the word "flesh" when speaking of our natural tendency to sin, but, please don't make the mistake of thinking that it means the body is evil in itself. God Himself created our fleshly bodies and said they were good. Am I on the right track? John |
