Bible Question (short): Is the sin nature a substance or mindset |
Question (full): Dear Joe - Thanks so much for your comments. They were very helpful. As soon as I get off the web I will order both of those books that you suggest. I have another question for you. What do you think the sin nature is? Is it a substance or a mindset? I know Jesus has two natures, one divine and one human and I believe that they must be two different substances. If the sin nature is a substance, has it been replaced with the new nature or do both the sin nature and the new nature dwell in the believer at the same time and battle against one another?
